Gabriel Boric's mother is María Soledad Font Aguilera, of Catalan descent. Gabriel Boric's father, Luis Boric Scarpa, is a chemical engineer who has been a government employee of the Empresa Nacional del Petróleo for more than 40 years. Boric's grandfather Luis Boric Crnosij, born in 1908, was one of these children. Juan Boric went briefly back to Ugljan to marry and brought his wife to Magallanes where ten of their eleven children were born. In Magallanes, the two brothers joined the ongoing Tierra del Fuego gold rush spending time in the islands south of Beagle Channel. Boric's great-grandfather Juan Boric (Ive Borić Barešić) arrived with his brother Simón (Šime) to Punta Arenas around 1885, reportedly being among the first ten Croats to arrive in Magallanes. Although his Borić ancestors left what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire for Chile in 1897, he still has relatives on Ugljan. On his father's side, Boric is from a Croatian Chilean family from Ugljan, an island off Croatia's Adriatic coast.
