Asturian-American Migration Forum

On July 23rd 2010, we celebrated our 100 year reunion of our ancestors Domingo and Yndalezia (Garcia) Blanco arriving at Ellis Island. They were from Asturias, Spain. They had nine children and were the last to arrive with the remaining family members. They settled in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Donora, Pennsylvania, Cherryvale, Kansas, and Depue, Illinois.

I would love to hear from remaining descendants still residing in Spain.

El 23 de julio de 2010, celebramos un reencuentro ya que hace un siglo desde que nuestros antepasados Domingo Blanco y y Yndalezia García llegaran en la Isla Ellis. Eran de Asturias, España. Tuvieron nueve hijos y fueron los últimos en llegar con el resto de sus familiares. Se establecieron en Clarksburg, West Virginia, Donora, Pennsylvania, Cherryvale, Kansas, y Depue, Illinois.

Me encantaría recibir noticias de los descendientes que aún residen en España.

Blanco is another name that when I hear it, I think of Spelter.

PBlanco, You´ll be more likely to get a reply if you add more information about your family, such as both of your ancestor´s last names (Spaniards have two last names), the towns they came from, and their parents´ full names.

-----------------------------

PBlanco, Será más probable que recibas una respuesta si añades más información sobre tu familia, como los dos apellidos de sus antepasados (los españoles tienen dos apellidos), las ciudades de donde vienen, y los nombres y apellidos de sus padres.

Domingo Blanco was born in 1855 in Serin of Gijon, Oviedo, Spain to Jose Blanco and Florentina Perez. Domingo had a brother named Juan.
Yndalezia of Villalegre,Paris of Molleda was born in 1861 to Jose Garcia and Serafina Menendez.

Hello PBlanco:

If Indalecia was born in Villalegre, it is quite probable that I can find some information about her. I'll ask the priest to check the Molleda's church files.

Yndalezia is not the common spanish way to name her, but Indalecia.

I´ll keep in touch.
Yours,
Marta.

Thanks Marta and Art for your help.
