Hola!
I am from New York. My great- grandfather came from Villafranca del Bierzo, near to Pereda de Ancares. He was born in 1844. He had an older brother Castor, born 1842. I have had a difficult time finding information earlier than the two brothers. I know that our family was well-respected. Could Miguel be a cousin or brother? I would like very much to hear from you.
Eric
