Así pues, entre tanta foto, cayeron en mis manos varias de viajes a Cuba y a EE.UU.,ya que mis abuelos se casaron, vivieron y enviudaron en la isla.
Sé que tenemos parientes allá en Cuba y en Miami, aunque desconozco sus nombres y mis abuelos, padres y tíos han fallecido todos, que eran los que podían orientarme. No obstante acompaño dos fotos por si alguien reconoce a los retratados.
En una de ellas está mi abuela materna, FAUSTINA MORÁN, natural de Forcinas (Pravia) y casada en primeras nupcias con AMALIO MACHÍN, Secretario General del Centro Asturiano en La Habana y ,una vez enviudó, casó con JOSÉ DÍAZ LÓPEZ. En la misma foto (tomada en Enero de 1939 a bordo del vapor Iberia y rumbo a La Habana) se encuentran también CEFERINO GONZÁLEZ y alguien llamado QUINITA, según creo descifrar en el reverso de la foto.
La otra foto es de un tío mío, FAUSTINO MACHÍN MORÁN, que regresaba a España en el "Alfonso XIII", aunque desconozco la fecha y el lugar de procedencia, aventurando Cuba pues allí nació y vivió un tiempo. Quizás alguien pueda reconocer a los otros integrantes de esa foto, lo cual me agradaría enormemente. Ojalá sea así.

I recently began searching among old photos any that might be related to ships and the sea, the reason being none other than dedicating one of my office walls to this subject, provided it has something in common with my family.
So, among all those pictures I found several of travels to Cuba and the USA, as my grandparents were married, lived and were widowed on the island...
I know we have relatives in Cuba and Miami, although I do not know their names, and my grandparents, parents and uncles/aunts who would have been able to tell me, have all passed away. Nevertheless, I am enclosing two photos, in case someone recognizes the people on them.
One of them shows my maternal grandmother, FAUSTINA MORÁN, born in Forcinas (Pravia), whose first husband was AMALIO MACHIN, Secretary General of the Centro Asturiano de la Habana. After she became a widow, she married JOSE DIAZ LOPEZ. This photo (taken in January 1939 on board the steamboat Iberia destined for Havanna) also shows CEFERINO GONZALEZ and someone called QUINITA, or so I read from the writing on the reverse.
The other picture is of my uncle FAUSTINO MACHÍN MORÁN, returning to Spain on board the “Alfonso XIII”, although I do not know the date and port of departure, but I guess that it must have been Cuba, as he was born there and lived there for a while. Maybe someone will recognize some of the people on the photo, which I would greatly appreciate. I hope it happens
