Asturian-American Migration Forum

Hello, my family is from the Aviles area. My grandfather's family is from Verdicio, and my granmother's is from Salinas. My Grandfather's family settled in DePue, IL, and my grandmother's nearby in LaSalle, IL. There are still a lot of us in central Illinois. We also have family around Aviles that we keep in touch with. In fact, my aunt, uncle, cousin, and great uncle are there now visiting. I hope to visit in the near future. My Spanish is not great, but I am working on it.

I really enjoy the forums on this website. It is a great resource and look forward to continued use.

Hola, mi familia es de la zona de Avilés. La familia de mi abuelo era de Verdiciu y la de mi abuela de Salinas. La familia de mi abuelo se estableció en DePue, Illinois y la de mi abuela en la cercana La Salle, IL. Todavía quedamos unos cuantos en la zona central de Illinois. También tenemos familia cerca de Avilés con la que mantenemos contacto. De hecho, mi tía, mi tío, primo y tío abuelo están de visita aquí. Yo espero poder hacer una visita en un futuro cercano. Mi español no es gran cosa, pero estoy en ello.
Disfruto mucho con los foros de esta página web. Es una gran fuente de información y me alegrará seguir usándola.

Hi Jason and welcome to the forum.
We are happy to hear that you enjoy the web site, although I'm afraid you caught most of us on vacation right now.
Pull up a chair and make yourself at home. I'll translate your post for our friends from Verdicio, Salinas and the greater Avilés area in general.

Cheers
Terechu

Hey Jason, quick stop to say hi and welcome you here. Looking forwards to seeing you on the boards.

Hello Jason,
