Asturian-American Migration Forum

Hello, my name is Pilar Menendez, daughter of Antonio Menendez Castillo and granddaughter of Marcelino Menendez ( born in Gijon), I would very much like to find out if I have any relatives that I could contact. Any ideas on how I should search for them?

Thank you very much.

Welcome, Pilar!

Are you looking for relatives in Asturias?

Please give us as much information as possible about all of the ancestors you know about.

For each person, you'll want to tell us as many of these details as you can:

• complete names (with both last names) and nicknames
• dates of birth, death, baptism, or marriage, even approximate
• relatives (husband/wife, brothers/sisters, parents, children, cousins, grandparents)
• place he/she was from (region, province, town)
• where they worked and in what kind of jobs
• dates of emigration/immigration, means of transportation, places of departure and arrival

We realize that you may not know much about your grandparents and their parents. Do you know anything about their siblings? Often seemingly unimportant details are helpful.
