He was lucky enough to be here for our vintage car event Hot August Nights and seemed to enjoy it. I called Holy Cross Cemetery in Clarksbur...

I innocently asked my sweet aunt if it mattered which country saffron came from...I learned not to ask again! It appears that "asaffron de espana" may be better because it was always either mailed or hand carried by relatives. That kind of love just made it taste better! The look on my Abu...

Both of my Wela's grew berzas in Northern California, and you are right, they were sweet and more tender than kale. I am sure they must have used seeds family brought from Asturias.

I'm not sure if there was a seperate woman's organization founded. They met at the Aurora Hall on 5th street, and...

Thank you Marta! I appreciate all of your hard work. It is wonderful having someone in Asturias who knows where to look for information. My posting was both to find my grandfather's birth certificate and to see if anyone might know of his family. Thanks again Marta. You have been such a great help, ...
