I have always been told that my Great Grandfather, Mauual Garcia Pumarino, had carrot red hair.

My FTDNA mtdna haplogroup is H3k. Also seems to be very Celtic. I get no matches from Spain. They all seem, to be Scotland, Ireland and England.

Josephine, the only picture that I have here is of the 6 youngest Garcia children. From left to right they are Olga, Mary, Genevieve (GeeGee), Margaret, Joe (Duce), and Sabrina.

Hi Josephine! I am so happy to see your post! I am your cousin Charolette. My mother is Genevieve. My Mother was 2 years younger than your mother. My Mother is still living and so is her youngest bother Duce. I am going to send you an email and if you will send me a phone number I would love to talk...

Hi Marta
In the cemetaries in the United States it is different than Spain. Our graves stay no matter how long. I was very surprised when I visited Aviles and learned that I wouldn't be able to find old graves of family members.

Is it possible to use another kind of cheese? I have never seen the Beyos and I don't see it on La Tienda.

Hi Ana and Indalecio I just got a copy of my great Grandfathers birth record from Aviles. His name was Hermenegildo Alonso Campa, and he was born in 1872. It shows his paternal grandmother as Juana Fernandez Quevedo Heres . It says that she was from Gozon. Her husband was Pedro Alonso. Is this a nam...

I'm sure glad they didn't tell me that! I don't know anyone in San Francisco and its about 600 miles each way!

I pick them when they are 1 1/2 to 2 inches. I don't let any of them get too big because I want them to keep producing new peppers. I think my Mom let some of hers get bigger, and maybe red, last year and she thought they were good. I just sauté them in a very small amount of olive oil (just enough ...

Have you been eating your Padron Peppers? Tomorrow night we will have them for the third time this week. They are so good!

Thats what it sounds like. At least once you get the passport it is good for 10 years!

It is my understanding that the birth certificate is what gives you citizenship, but if you don't get a passport within three years you will lose your citizenship. The lady that I talked to said that if it were her she would get the passport before the law ends (Dec 2011).

No, I could go any day and any time. I did have a very long wait because they were really busy. I really didn't mind the wait because it was obvious that they were truly swamped.

Send them an email and tell them its urgent, that you are planning to drive down and need to know if they are open.
