Does anyone have a photo of Josefa Artimez, wife of Sabino Menendez. She was born in Asturias 25 Jan 1872 and died in Zeising WV on 9 June 1919. I would like to know more about her as her death certificate has little more than her name and date she died. If you have a photo PLEASE post it or email i...

Joan Cecelia Menendez McCulley McCoy Joan Cecelia Menendez McCulley McCoy passed away on May 21, 2014 in Hampton, Virginia where she has resided since 1977. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on July 15, 1933 to John and Edna Voelp Menendez. Her parents relocated to Chickasaw, AL during WWII and in 1946 ...

Ellie, I have been away from this list for awhile. I don't know if you have found any more info on Concha Menendez. Remember, my grandfather was her brother. His wife, Edna had a sister who married another brother, Angel/ Pat Menendez. My mother was an only child. She is still living in Virginia, bu...

Hi Beth! I think a reunion is a great idea. I would love to do/see a "complete" pedigree of all the descendants. I have something I have been working on but it is not complete. Since I have no contact with everyone I only have what I can find with my dectective work on the net. If there wa...

Ellie, how wonderful it is to find you! We have "lost" this branch. My grandfather, John (Sabino Jr) Menendez was Concha's brother. No one knew what happened to Manuel. Please can you post some more genealogy about descendants? Do you have any photos? I have posted on this site all that I ...

Regarding Concha again, does anyone know when and where she passed away? Did they have more than one child, Manuel b c1925? Does anyone know what became of him? The last I find on her is in New York in the 1930 Census, then she's gone. I don't find a Social Security Death Index entry for her. Thanks...

Does anyone know what happened to Leopoldo Menendez, b. 25 Sep 1897, son of Sabino Menendez and Josefa Artimez? He appears on the 1910 census and there is a Draft registration for him in 1918 and then he disappears. Did he die, run away, go back to Spain? Also, did the families make trips regularly ...

Ron,
Is this Louis the son of Jose Menendez and Mary Gutierez? If so, he is certainly "my" Louis. (Remember Jose is my grandfather's brother.) Where do Joe and Frank come in?

Do you know if anyone's posted this genealogy anywhere? Personal web page, Ancestry, etc?

Leo, Pepa, and Alfonso were all children of Joe (Pepes) Menendez and Mary Gutierez. Joe (Pepes) Menendez was my grandfather's brother - John Sabino Menendez! When my grandparents moved to New Orleans they lost contact of many relatives. My grandfather died in 1965 so there was little incentive to ke...

My understanding is that my grandfather - John/ Johnny Menendez was Sabino to his family, or at least early on. His father's name was Sabino as well. I am not aware of any time being called Juan. He is listed on legal documents as John Menendez, having dropped Sabino. When he immigrated with his mot...

Mario Consentino passed away 15 Oct 2005 in Brooklyn, New York. He married Palo Manuela who I believe is still living. My grandparents drove them to Baltimore, Maryland on their wedding night, with my seven year old mother in the backseat between them! Mario was the son of Angelo Casentino, born in ...

The man on the left in the photo of Concha (Concha's right), is her brother and my grandfather, Johnny Menendez. Look at the single photo of John Menendez and the one of the three of them, John, Joan and Edna Voelp Menendez.

The following appeared this week in the New Orleans Times Picayune: Mr. Jose Alejandro Menendez, originally from Santiago de Cuba, Cuba and a long time resident of Boca Raton, FL passed away on Thursday, September 13, 2007 at Chateau de Notre Dame Nursing Home in New Orleans. He was preceded in deat...

Ron, thanks for your reply. My grandfather's dad was also Sabino. He was living with John, Edna & Joan when he died. There is a photo of him and my mother in the album. I will post a photo I have of my grandfather, John, & his brother, Pat Menendez. Fortunately it was scanned beofre Katrina....

For all my cousins! After literally searching through about 2500 hits, I have finally found a chart of Pedro Menendez de Aviles descendants. I have not discovered if his son left descendants before he was lost as sea. If anyone has info not on the chart, please post it. http://www.euskalnet.net/lavi...
