Hi Robert,

Try this website-someone may be able to answer your question. www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/4271/. Another thought, contact your state department, they could probably help too.

When was your father stationed at Torrejon AB? I was stationed there from 1979 to 1981.

Re: searching for the muradas family

2004-03-10 04:26:15Z

Hi Rocio Gonzales Muradas,

Thank you for your replay to my searching. I don't know if your grandfather is related with my grandfather but here some information that may be can help. My Grandfather Manuel Muradas was born in Vigo on November 2 1892, and later on his family moved to Madrid. He was a son of Jose Muradas Pietro and Estrela Muradas. They also had 2 daughters but I don't know their names. And also they had another son named Alberto and he died when he was 7 years old. My grandfather went to Brazil around the years of 1912 and 1913. One of the things that I most want is to find some relatives in Spain, may be cousins, or great-uncles. I really appreciate your replay and please let me know if you find anything else.

thank you,

Researching CARRIONS from MADRID

2003-03-04 20:32:46Z

I am looking for any information on some Carrions from Madrid, Spain. This is what I know:

My grandmother’s name was Vicenta Carrion. She was born on December 15, 1903 in Madrid and was baptized at La Virgen del Puerto church, also in Madrid. Her parents were Pedro Carrion (b Abt 1875 in Cordoba, Spain) and Rosario Juarez (b 1879 in Madrid). Pedro and Rosario were married at La Virgen del Puerto (date unknown).

Vicenta’s siblings were Elena (b 1900, Madrid), Pedro (b 1905, Madrid), and Rosario (b after 1905, Philadelphia or New York). Rosario (mother) and her three oldest children (Elena, Pedro, and Vicenta) immigrated to the U.S. on the Konigin Luise, which departed from the Port of Gibraltar, Spain, headed for the Port of New York, USA, on October 18, 1906.

In 1924, Vicenta married Gustave Beniamino in New York. Around the 1950s or 60s, they moved with their three children to Southern California.

Any information on any member of this family is most appreciated.

Pasajeros a Nueva York

2003-01-31 13:45:20Z

Otro término asociado con la migración puertorriqueña a Nueva York fue la de
"cargo ship". ¿Se pregunta usted porque? Porque hubo un elemento en Nueva
York que según ellos, los portorriqueños llegaron en barco de carga. Este
sentimiento tiene mérito porque hubo dos tipos de barco. Uno fue de pasajeros
y carga y el otro fue de carga y pasajeros.

Pues, ahora, Dalia Y yo los invitamos a que vengan a conoce los pasajeros a Nueva York.

Need Assistance on BORREGO’s and ACOSTA’s

2003-04-12 15:35:01Z

Re: BORREGO’s and ACOSTA’s Genealogy,
Spain, Cuba, and USA. email: soflam2003@yahoo.com

Any information would be greatly appreciated, research and / or comments. I’m doing this for my daughter Isabella Adelaida Borrego, she is very special to me.

My maternal great grandmother is ANA ACOSTA RAMON, ( decd of Canary islands ) two of her daughters are America Acosta and ADELAIDA ACOSTA - BORREGO, my grandmother. She last lived in San Antonio de Los Banos, Cuba. I recall conversation with her, where she stated that her mother was from Santa Cruz de La Palma, Canary Islands. They also owned a grocery store called “El Brillante” in Cuba. My grandfather FELIX BORREGO worked at one of the Centrales as a “Maestro Azucar” in the “Provincia de Matanzas”. We lived in San Antonio de Los Banos, and have relatives ( Borrego’s and Acosta’s ) in Santiago de las Vegas and Guira de Melena both in La Havana province.

Statistical migratory patterns for the Borrego’s seems to suggest the following cities; Madrid-Alcalá , Valladolid, Leon, Gijon, Santa Cruz de La Palma-Canary Islands, Cuba - ( San Antonio de Los Banos, Santiago de las Vegas and Guira de Melena ), and the United States ( Florida, Louisiana and California.) We left Cuba from Jose Marti National Airport in 1968. Suggestions on primary and /or secondary sources would be great, i.e. ships / airline - logs manifest, government sources, church records. Thank you, in advance for your response.

Who Can Help Me Find a Will in Gran Canaria (Madrid)?

2002-07-25 14:55:40Z

7-25-2002

Looking for a copy of the last will and testament of Mr. Manfred Karl Skuhr (who died between 1997-1999 in Gran Canaria) and his wife/partner, Ursula Skuhr (who died there not long after Manfred). I am trying to find out the name of the lawyer/executor who handled his estate and names of the beneficiaries. Will also need to find out if they owned any property in that area--that information will be in the probate file and also need the name of the government or city agency to check that handles the land records, and also need the name and address of the courthouse where to get the probate records.

I am helping Manfred's son acquire this information for his own personal use.

Will pay a reasonable fee for a genealogist or citizen to get the information. Please contact me by e-mail.

Victoriano Emanuel & son Jose Pedro GUSTIASE-DE CUEVAS

andershd — 2003-08-11 01:52:07Z

Anyone connect? Jose Pedro CUEVAS was born in 1863.
I'd like to know where to write to get exact birthdate and documentation.

A letter I just received from my cousin Thomas Potts' wife Enid follows:

It is written on March 24th, 1957 by Tom's Mother, Florence Emily Cuevas Potts, to us on the occasion of our first wedding anniversary. We had written to her asking about her family and this is what she wrote: (quoted exactly as written)

"I will look up our baby book but I don't know much about my Father's people except he was born in Madrid Spain. His father was in Paris connected with the Spanish Consul there for ten years and then he was a translator of languages for Werthiemer Lee & Son, a Publishing house in London, England. He spoke seven languages and was a very cultured old gentleman. We all loved him. His name was Victor Emanuel de Cuevas. My father's name was Jose Pedro Gustiase de Cuevas and he was a civil engineer.

Granmere Cuevas' name was Carman, but I don't know her maiden name. I am almost sure it was Gustiase as a spanish married woman retains her maiden name which precedes her husband's (after his death it succeeds it). The children retain both, hence the Gustiase de Cuevas in my father's name.

Gran Canaria is one of the islands that are known as The Canary Islands - a 2 hour plane trip from Madrid. You wont find anything in Madrid about a will that was from Gran Canaria.
