Bridgette:

The latest US Census to be released was the 1930 census. If you can tell me the names of your ancestors that were living in the US in the 1930s I can possibly help you. You can send me a private message or email if you wish to keep that information private.

Hi Paul: I think I found Avelina in the 1930 Niagara NY Census. If I am correct, it appears in 1930 she was either divorced or widowed from Ben Fernandez. She was currently married to a man from Spain named Nicholas Paris. The two had a newborn baby named Mary that was born in NY. Also living with t...

Carmen: I checked the 1910 Census and it says Jose (Joseph) Prado came to America in 1902 and his wife and children came in 1905. The Census says Generosa was the mother of 8 children, but only 4 were living in 1910. Living with them was Aurora and her husband Francisco Verdin and their oldest son F...

I can tell you what I know. According to the Ellis Island Records, Francisco Verdin arrived in the United States on 22 Jan 1905. By 1910, Francisco was living in Collinsville, Illinois with his wife Aurora Prado and their son, Frank Jr.. They were staying at the home of Jose and Generosa Prado (Auro...

I am sorry, but I did not understand your message entirely. My Spanish is very bad. I had a cousin named Herman Verdin born in 1920 in the United States.Could they be the same person? My Grandmother was a Verdin. It is an unusual name in Spain. Perhaps I am related to the person you seek. 8) Estoy a...

For tips on getting records from Spain check the following link: http://www.asturianus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=268 You may want to first search for your great great grandparent's death certificates. If he died after 1871 the record may be in the Civil Register. You can order those documents online...

Hola Jose:

Gracias por su oferta de la ayuda. Le enviaré explicar del email
(Correo-e) qué información estoy buscando.

¡Gracias!

Are you sure about your dates? The reason I ask is in the 1920 Florida Census there is a Modesto Arias who was born in Spain. He is living there with his wife and many children. The handwriting is bad, but it looks like the wife is named Erniesta. The children are named Manuel, Clotilda(?), Joseph, ...

If your Great Great Grandfather came to America in the 1850s, then I should find him in the 1860,70, 80 or 1900 census (Much of the 1890 census data was destroyed by a fire). I did a search on people with the surname Arias that were born in Spain and I came up with nothing. In the 1870 census I did ...

Thanks Bob. Since I could not find a church with the exact name, I was not sure which church to write to. Thanks for your help.

The death and birth certificates I have received from Spain look like regular form documents with the exception of my great grandparents' marriage certificate which was just a very long statement. When I put in a request I have included a self-addressed envelope and usually two dollars for postage. ...

I would think if a person was truly a royal descendant they would KNOW . Their ancestors would be careful to safeguard any documents or proof of their royal heritage. I guess if you were a descendant of the third cousin twice removed from the King, then documentation may be scarce. Here in America i...

¿Cualquiera sabe la dirección del correo para Parroquia San Martin de Podes -- Gozon? GRACIAS!

I could not find a Modesto Arias or Modesto Abascal in the US Census Index. Could Modesto been called by another name, perhaps a nickname? It might help if I knew the names of any of Modesto's siblings who may have been living with him in America. Was Modesto born in Spain? I think I can find him if...

The hardest people to find will be the women. Most, if not all, of them probably married and changed their surnames. If any of the other refugees knew what town they may be living in, I can do a first name search. I have tried that already and I was very surprised by the number of people with even u...
