Hello Bob, Thank you for your quick reply. I have checked church and civil records. Marta helped me get a certified birth certificate with great success. I am trying to learn more about the military service. How might a young man in Asturias joined the military? Was this required? In the form of a m...

Hello, I am renewing my Asturias ancestry research. My key question is: Are there military enlistment records in Asturias during 1700? If young men enlisted in the military, where might this have commonly been located? My ancestor was titled Alcalde and Captain of War in Saltillo, Mexico in 1707 - s...

Hello, My wife and I are traveling to Oviedo on May 3rd to May 11th. We are planning on staying at the AC Hotel in Gijon - the parking was a little bit cheaper than in Oviedo :) We are planning to see the Parroquia de Santa Maria de Limanes, where my ancestor Francisco de la Fuentes Y Fernandez was ...

Sé que la parroquia ya no tiene los registros y que han sido trasladados a Oviedo. ¿Existen índices publicados de estos ...

Hello Marta, This is excellent news!! I sent an email with my address. Do you know if the baptismal record can help me learn anything about the family in Asturias? Is it possible to know more about the parish? Can I learn any additional information about this family in Asturias? Do you know a bi-lin...

I am not really responding to anyone in particular, but rather reacting to the notion that a desire for independence (the title of this thread) is vulnerable to a dependence on the state from which independence is sought. I suspect the state has been quite effective at instilling such dependency, an...

Hello, Francisco de la Fuentes Y Fernandez married Juana Lobo de Acuna on Februrary 6th, 1707 in Saltillo Mexico. The license says his parents were Thoribio de la Fuentes and Catarina Fernandez. He was born approximately 1680 in Pueblo de Santa Maria de Limanes in the Kingdom of Castilla. (Oviedo, S...

Let me see if I get this right: Asturians cannot take care of themselves, and if they don’t get free money from Madrid they will be worse off. Asturians do not care about anybody but themselves, and ignore the plight of others. Is this a common point of view? --------------------------- Déjame ver s...

Searching de la Fuentes Y Fernandez in Oviedo, need bi-lingual guide Hello, I am traveling to Oviedo/Gijon in the spring. I am looking for a bi-lingual researcher from Asturias that may be familiar with methods to search the Diocese in Oviedo for old parish records. I have a copy of Francisco de la ...
