Hi, so completely forgot about my Grandmothers side, my Grandmother was Esperanza Gutierrez Suarez from Sorriba, her Parents were Jose Gutierrez from Sorribas and Joaquina Suarez from Aces. This info was on my fathers record also, again no second last names mentioned.

Do you think it is possible, none of my relatives, first cousins, etc, don't want to be contacted, or maybe there simply is no one left! Hardly unlikely, I am determined to find someone. I know my cousin was or still is a doctor, just don't know where in Spain. Antonio Alvarez, he has a sister Dosin...

Hi Art, Guess I caused some confusion, sorry. My Grandfather was Aurelio Alvarez Alvarez, he was a natural of Siero and Villandas? My father was born in Grado in 1920 and baptized at Santa Maria deVillandas. The two places noted are what is on my father, Maximino Alvarez Gutierrez, baptism. The reco...

Hi Art, I am thankful for all your insight. I was trying to find out if there are different variations to surnames, but I've done some research and kind of figured it out. Surnames are so confusing when they are not listed completely in genealogy forums ( ancestry, my heritage, etc). My fathers bapt...

Hi, Thanks for replying. I've already gotten one, its old and tattered, but I've ordered one, should be on its way. I don't write or speak my own native language....sad but true.... As far as I can tell thru correspondence is that there are no second names attached to either sets of my great grandpa...

Thanks for any help ---------------------------------- Trans. Anuska Hola: Tengo la fe de bautismo de mi padre (Grado), pero no apar...
