Spanish Citizenship for Puerto Ricans?
Posted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:15 pm
Hello. Im not sure if this is the right place to ask but anywho -
My fathers grandfather is from the Asturian region, and my mothers side is from Catalonia. I believe both went to Puerto Rico is the mid & late-1800's.
Unfortunately my parents never kept any sort of their papers - and they dont really remember any (first) names of past family members anymore (and I believe they embrace their 'puerto rican' culture more so then their Spanish roots, unfortunately)
Anywho, can someone point me in the right direction as to how I can (and if I can) prove my Spanish ancestry for citizenship? My mother used to tell me that I wouldnt be able to track anything before the 1930's through PR records, but that was when I was younger and perhaps she was bluffing?
Thank you in advance.
