S. Navy and I ...

My name is Margaret Montes Miller....I have a question that hopefully someone could answer. My father was born in Clarksburg WV while his mother from Spain was visiting her husband, Adelino Montes in 1911. She came here in 1910from Spain, with two other children.

Hi to all Moundsville, wv was not a zinc mine. Adelino Montes was also my grandfather, my father being Manuel Montes.
