Fernando Blanco Dopazo: LITTLE NOBILITY IN NOALLA. Santiago de Compostela, 2016. ISBN 978-84-945964-0-7, 352 pages, with full color illustrations.

With a prologue by Dr. Marcelino Agís, the work tells the local story of Noalla and the nobility in Galicia. Then it follows with the genealogies and heraldry of the Trelles, Paadín y Radio families in all their lines (ascending and descending and in all locations.
