Surnames: Riego
I am looking for any information on the surname Riego.

My GGGgrandfather was Adolfo Garcia Riego whose family was from Asturia, Spain. He came to Cuba as a youngman to fight in the Cuban Independence War (Ten Years War)
He lived in Cuba en la Calle Aguila, Havana. He married Carmen Dominguez.

I am trying to trace the name Riego in Spain.

My uncle's father's name was Leandro Blanco Riego. My uncle, Santos Blanco-Garcia, was born in 1902 in Molino-Pillanno, Castrillon, Asturias, Spain. He came to the US through Cuba in 1920. My uncle's father left Spain, between 1930 and 1946, but there were two sons and a daughter still in Spain. They were Silvero, Laureano and Herminia Blanco-Garcia. I don't know if they are still alive, but my aunt and uncle visited family near Giron in the 1970's.

Have you tried looking at or asking on the Asturian US forum, http://www.asturianus.org/ ? This is a forum for those of Asturian descent and those still living in Asturias. They have been very helpful.
