Asturian-American Migration Forum

I am searching for my father's family. My grandfather is listed as Jose (Joe) Rendueles Vega on his birth certificate. He would have been born around 1889 in Spain. I believe I have traced him from Spain to Cuba, from Cuba to Florida. Somehow he ended up in San Francisco for a period of about 2-3 years(1915-1918) and then left for Florida. He was a cigar maker and I have placed him in Hillsbourgh County, Fl. in the 1930's. I have spoken with a professor at the Univ. of Oviedo, whom I thought may be related. Unfortunately he was not, however said he could be sure that my grandfather and family came from either Giron or Villaviciosa and the name Rendueles is not very common. I am not sure where to go from here, can you offer some suggestions?
Thank you,
Trudy Vega

Estoy buscando para a familia de mi padre. Enumeran a mi abuelo como Jose (Joe) Rendueles Vega en su partida de nacimiento. Él habría sido alrededor 1889 nato en España. Creo que lo he remontado de España a Cuba, de Cuba a la Florida. Él terminó de alguna manera para arriba en San Francisco por un período de cerca de 2-3 years(1915-1918) y entonces izquierdo para la Florida. Él era un fabricante del cigarro y lo he colocado en el condado de Hillsbourgh, la Florida en los años 30. He hablado con un profesor en el Univ. de Oviedo, que pensé puede ser relacionado. Desafortunadamente él no estaba, no obstante es dicho él podría ser seguro que mi abuelo y familia vinieron o de Giron o Villaviciosa y el Rendueles conocido no es muy comunes. ¿No soy seguro adonde ir de aquí, puede usted ofrecer algunas sugerencias?

Hello Trudy,

My last name is Rendueles, too, and I am from Cabranes, although I am currently living at Seattle.

The place where there are more people with this last name is Gijon, so you should try to begin for looking at the register of births from the city council.

Good luck!!

Hello Trudy,
I just discovered your post regarding your Vega ancestors. I have also some Vega ancestors with remarkably similar circumstances, locations and time frame. Please contact me [Art: Email address removed. Please use the email button below.], and I would be more than delighted to share what I have available on my Vegas.
