Hello Gloria, Still keeping the nose to the grind huh? Hope you remember moi! Hey, just in case you didn't know allready, there is a small hamlet in the consejo of Ribadedeva in Asturias, Spain called Noriega. There is a supposed fortress called the Torre de Noriega. Also a tourist info rep from a close by city said through email that there maybe lots of Garcias that live in Noriega, however, another tourist center says there is one Garcia resident that lives in a close by hole in the wall Boquierizo (?) Wanna go visit some time? Yes, Im still searching for the "el elusivo", Capitan Don Alonso I. Have you tried Military records? keep in touch, prima! --Ron
