Hello! I’ve read about Montequin’s family history and it has caught my attention, as I belong to a family from Pola de Siero with the same family name.

Mi bisabuelo Donato Montequin Berros nacio alli alrededor del 1860 y fue a Puerto Rico con la armada española alrededor del 1891. he estado comunicandome con Jasm en el forum y me ha dado mucha informacion. Mi bisabuela era Teresa Rimada Fernandez de Montequin y nacio en Pola de Siero en el 1852. Si sabes algo mas por favor dejame saber. Mil gracias, Aidita

Todavía hay Montequines en el concejo de Siero. No te los coloco aquí para salvaguardar sus identidades, pero te envío sus datos por correo privado.
