My dream is to go to Aviles soon and meet all those I've found and have been talking with. It looks so beautiful there! I will let Alan know also that I've talked with you!

I'm sorry you're not having more luck :( I hope at some point, you do find some relatives in Spain or here in the US. I do feel very blessed, I never thought I would find all of them. My mother died 3 years ago, and all that's left now is my sister and brother, one aunt on my mother's side and some ...

Hello, Sonia! Yes, that is where the photo was taken! I have been in touch with my cousin JoAnn, it has been so much fun. I will tell her I heard from you here and maybe the two of you can get in touch also!

Yes, the man on the right is Grandpa Candido. That's funny that they told you to go out and play. They had it easy with me, because only Spanish was spoken in Grandma's house and I didn't know the launguage, so they never had to worry about me knowing what they were saying. I remember being so fasci...

Hello, Ron! I would be thrilled to hear anything you remember! I never got to meet my grandpa Candido - he passed away 4 months before I was born. It makes me very said that I didn't get to know him. I got a photo from my cousin the other day I will share here. BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: My mother, Pa...

¡Hola, Jose Ramon! Esto es tal alegría para ver a mis bisabuelos y ver a Francisco y su familia, y su hermano y hermana. ¡Gracias tanto! El libro de los huéspedes para el entierro de mi padre Julio en 1970 fue firmado por Aurora, Luis y Cesar Suarez. ¡Ahora sé a quién ellos son!

Mucho Amor,

Trying this for the first time, hopefully it will work - if it does, this is my father, Julio Alvarez, with my grandparents, Consuelo and Candido Alvarez, taken in approximately, guessing, 1945 or 1946. http://www.postimage.org/aV27oYGS.jpg Will try to post a few more photos since I've gotten the ha...

I'll try that! Thank you, Art! I just have them saved into my AOL photos - I think I have to get them into Photobucket or somehwhere first. Thanks!

Hi Jimmy, I haven't figured out yet how to upload photos here, but I will do that as soon as I do! I don't have a lot of photos of my dad's side of the family :( I do have a lot of my father, though (Julio) and several of Ramon, and I have one of my grandparents with my father. Before my mother pass...

Hello, Victor (or it is Jimmy? I got confused). This is just too unbelievable to be true! When you told me what town in Ohio your sister lives in, I was amazed to see that it's my town. When I looked in our telephone book, I see that she lives exactly 5 minutes from me, 3 if I drive fast :) There is...

Interesting! My grandparents arrived in September of 1916. I'm still tracking their departure point from Spain, I have manifest showing departure point from England. It's on a spread sheet and hard to read, I'm trying to get it to where I can view it more clearly.

Hello again, Jimmy - I talked again with my uncle Gavino's son Alan today and he remembers you well...he said to send you regards from his family.....

Hello again, Jose Ramon - I just talked again with my cousin Alan whom I found last week - my uncle Gavino's son - he said he remembers Franciso very well - their nickname for him for was Chucha. They only had one son, Oscar, who is in your photo with Francisco and Aurora. That photo was taken in my...

Thank you, Art! It's amazing how much success I've had just in one week, thanks so much! I'm thrilled!

Hello Victor!!!!! Thank you so much for posting the photos! You have no idea how much this means to me! Do you remember my father, Julio? I am so anxious to hear more about him and my grandparents, my uncles, everyone! My family is pretty much all gone now :( There is just me, my sister Shirley and ...
