[Xani]

Desculpame que tengo escribir en ingles.

My great-grandparents lived in Salamir (in the concejo of Cudillero). They were baptized, married and buried in San Martin de Luiña.

Dionisio Arango y Gonzalez, (born about 1834, died 1894) married Casilda Garcia y Cuervo. They had 11 children. Most of the sons emigrated to Cuba in the late 1800s. Except for Filomena, the girls married locally and remained in Spain. Here is a list of their children:

1- Egidio, born abt 1853, died after 1894
