Antonio Ribas & Mercedes González - busco a parientes
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 7:54 pm
I am very new to this site. My Aunt Mary Ribas Edgar was born in Anmoore as were her three brothers and one sister. Their names were Louis Ribas, Manual Ribas, Tony Ribas and Julia Ribas Lantz. Julia was my birth mother. I was born in the same house my family had always lived in across the street from the "Carbon Plant". Julia was not married when I was born 11/30/1945 so I was given for adoption. Until 1981, I had no details of my birth family. At that time I found my Aunt Mary who now lives in Waynesville Ohio. Julia died in 1955 after marrying and giving birth to my brother and two sisters. At the time of Julia's death, my Aunt Mary and her husband, Ed, adopted my brother and two sisters.
Louis Ribas passed away 11/6/2007 and Manual Ribas on 10/21/09. Manual had worked at the Carbon Plant 44 years without missing a day and retired in 1982.
My Aunt Mary is now 85 and in very poor health. She asked me to try to locate some of her relatives from the Asturian area of Spain. Her father was Antonio Ribas who arrived at Ellis Island 10/2/12 on the ship Carmania. Then on 11/19/14 his soon to be wife Mercedez (called Martha in the US) Gonzalez arrived at Ellis Island on the Adriatic. He was an orphan and her family was not happy that she moved to the US to marry him.
My daughter found this site through Ancestry.com and referred me to it since my family had so much in common with the Suronda Gongalez story. My Aunt Mary gave me the book Pinnick Kinnick Hill in 2003.
Thank you in advance for any assistance finding information,
Janie Walker
