Ancestors of / Antepasados de Antonio Vicente Lopez Menendez

Post by famousmorning »

I am looking for the ancestors of my great-grandfather Antonio Vicente Lopez Menendez. He was born 29 April 1864 Oveido, Asturias, Spain. He died October 1918 in Tampa, Florida, USA. His parents were Antonio Lopez and Maria Josefa Menendez Garcia. His father was born in Barrio del Puerto Santiago de las Villa de Vivero on unknown date. His parents might be Antonio Maria Lopez and Rita Ponte y Bermudez. His mother was born in Cillero, Asturias on unknown date and died on 18 March 1923 in Asturias. It is believed she was the daughter of Vicente Menendez Nunez and Maria Garcia Villasuso. I have been unable to confirm. If true, I need dates and locations of birth and death.

Antonio's siblings were:
Jose born Aug 1862 died in New York, USA
Fransico (Frank) born 1865
Amador
Clotilde born 17 August 1872
Herminia

Antonio married Mercedez Penalver Gonzalez. He settled in Tampa in 1899. He may have originally left Spain prior to 1882 to Cuba.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Dudas

Post by Marta Elena Díaz García »

Hi Antonio:

Please, could you clarify who is who in your mail?

Who do you believe is the daughter of Vicente Menendez Nunez and Maria Garcia Villasuso?
Perhaps Rita Ponte y Bermudez?

Data do not match. She should be Rita Menendez García.....

Yours,
Marta.

Thanks for looking into this, Marta Elena!

Famous morning, there are ways to explain this more clearly. Without using one of the systems (which are good), you could do something like this:

ggf:

ggf's father:
ggf's mother:
ggf's siblings:

ggf's f's f:
ggf's f's m:
ggf's f's siblings:

ggf's m's f:
ggf's m's m:
ggf's m's siblings:


There are better ways but I've got to run!

Hello

Post by Marta Elena Díaz García »

Hi, Robin

Now, it is clear.
I was looking for some places and towns in Asturias named Cillero, but I could not find any.
However, there is a place in Galicia with such a name:
Santiago de Cillero in Lugo, that belongs to the council of Vivero.

So, I think your gg parents were from Galicia and they probably moved to Asturias where their sons were born.

The problem is that we don't know in which town of Asturias they lived. Just "Oviedo" is not enough information as many times "Oviedo" was used as synonymous of Asturias.

If you need information about ggg parents, then you have to check in Vivero.

Yours,
Marta.
