Gonzalez, Miranda, Fernandez, family Villanueva, Grado

[Cristina Fernandez]

Hello
My name is Cristina Maria-Luisa Fernandez. My father was Francisco Douglas Fernandez, born 1909 in San Francisco.

I am wanting to locate information on his Father Jose Fernandez as well as his brother Fernando Fernandez who moved to Cuba around 1910 (wife Carmen, children Nina, Lily, Jose (?)) and information on other family members from Villanueva, Grado, Asturias, Spain- possibly still living there

Here is information on my grandmother that I have that is certain:
Born: Born January 25, 1870, Villanueva, Asturias, Spain
Died: October 13, 1950, Los Angeles CA
Father: Francisco Gonzalez Busto
Mother: Luisa Miranda (married Luisa Gonzalez)
Spouse: Jose Fernandez
boat to Havana Cuba 1907, then gave birth to my father 1909 San Francisco
Second Spouse: Jose (Joseph) Moga (born Bonifacio Jose Martin Moga Mananet; August 21, 1883, Catalonia, Spain; died Januart 5, 1969 Tremp, Catalonia, Spain).

I located a family tree on MyHeritage.com that seems certain to be connected to my family as the mother and father of my grandmother are listed as married. My grandmother is however not listed on this particular family tree as their daughter.

Here is that information if it is indeed her family:
My great gandmother:

Born: July 29, 1837 Alcubiella, la Mata, Grado, Asturias, Spain
Died: 1894

Second Surname of Jose Fernandez or Fernando Fernandez?

Hola Jasm,
Muchas gracias por esta información. ¿Significa esto que fue recaudador de impuestos para la ciudad o que fue honrado por dar un regalo quizás? ¿También podría usted dejarme saber dónde esta información fue obtenida así que puedo ponerla en mi libro como nota al pie? Aprendí hoy leyendo notas familiares de que los miembros de la familia nacieron en el Palacio de Villanueva. Estoy a punto de publicar una pregunta con respecto a eso y mi ascendencia.
También José Fernández, mi abuelo, no conozco su apellido. Él es el gran misterio. Su esposa era Manuela Miranda González. Era probable que viniera de Villanueva o cerca. Puede que se haya ido a Cuba oa Estados Unidos entre 1890 y 1905.
¡Aprecio tu ayuda!

Hola Cristina, tu antepasado no recaudaba impuestos, en aquel tiempo, los electores se elegían entre los que pagaban impuestos, un contribuyente (Persona obligada por ley al pago de un impuesto).
El problema es que Fernández es un apellido muy común en España, sin más datos es imposible reducir la busqueda.

Hello Cristina, your ancestor did not collect taxes, at that time, the electors were chosen from those who paid taxes, a taxpayer (Person required by law to pay a tax).
The problem is that Fernandez is a surname very common in Spain, without more data it is impossible to reduce the search.

Thank you Jose!
