Asturian-American Migration Forum

As I was reading through this forum, I thought that I would mention my favorite Spanish footballer, Juan Manuel Mata García who plays for my beloved Manchester United, and previously played for the Spanish National team, Real Madrid Castilla, Valencia, and Chelsea. His father Juan Manuel Mata Rodríg...

Your English is quite good, and you have wasted none of my time. I am so appreciative of your help! You have given me so much valuable information. From documents I have of Sergio, it appears that he was born in Banugues but moved to Salinas before coming to the United States. Since the tale is that...

Thank you! Upon further review, I see that my great grandmother's place of birth is listed as Ambas de Carreno. So that gives me a place to start! Thank you again! Hi, and sorry for my english.. There are at least two parishes called Ambas in Asturias, Santiago de Ambas in the county of Carreño and ...

As I mentioned in the post about my Great-Aunt Anita Menendez, my wife and I are coming to Spain at the end of May through the beginning week or so of June. We are starting with the Camino, and then we will spend a few days around Aviles. My aunt was my source of family contacts and history, and lik...

I haven't been on here since my Aunt Anita passed away. It is weird knowing that my biggest connection with the family in Spain is now gone. Anita was an amazing woman who I will miss tormenting and being tormented by. She inspired my love of my ancestry and heritage as much as my grandfather/her br...

That would be her. I'm going to see what I can do with my schedule. Who knows, perhaps I'll make it. Hi MD Menendez The great-aunt Anita that you speak of, is she the one from Spelter? It's to bad that you can't make it to the symposium, I would have liked to have met, and talked with you.

Thank you so much for the welcome. My great-aunt Anita (who has pictures posted on the pictures part of this site) got me hooked to you all. If only I didn't have conflicts with work, I would gladly come to the symposium. As a child the fact that there was someone who did the things Pedro did, WITH ...

Another good book on Pedro is the following.
