Asturian-American Migration Forum

Searching for descendants/relatives of Justo Garcia Quintana. Justo I was born in Salas, Asturias, Spain about 1858. Justo’s parents were Carlos Garcia and Maria Quintana also from Salas, Asturias, Spain. I do not know if Justo I had any brothers or sisters. Around 1876 Justo I enlisted in the military and left Spain to fight in the war in Cuba where he served for 14 years. He married Antonia Rios born 1879 (died 1895) had 3 sons… Sabino Garcia, Bernardino Garcia, and Justo Garcia II. The family moved to the United States from Cuba around 1903. Justo Garcia Quintana died in 1926. My name is Belinda Garcia Adams, I am the great granddaughter of Justo Garcia, I. I am interested in connecting with any siblings or descendants (aunts, uncles, cousins) or anyone with knowledge of Justo, Carlos and Maria that might still be in the Asturias area or possibly in the USA, to continue to my genealogy of the Ancestors and Descendants of Justo Garcia Quintana.

Hello Rosie,
I couldn't email you from this site, it has some SPAM restrictions, so I am replying here until the moderators release the restriction so i can email you directly.

Who/What family branch are you descended from? I see you also live in florida. Do you know my uncles Orlando & Jimmie Garcia?

Hope to talk further.

Belinda

Rosie

hi,
I can't believe I got a response this quick. I found this site by accident. Ishould explain, I'm not Rosie, Rosie is my wife, but I am an honorary Garcia! My name is Billy Hinds (Garcia). I organized the last family reunion here at Lowry Park in Tampa.
my wifes email address is [Art: I removed the email. Emails are not allowed in the forum.]
contact us there, I'll be looking, but can continue here until.
My wifes mother was estella Garcia and her grandmother was Marina Garcia wife of Bernardino, who lived on S. 22nd street.
We know Jimmie and Orlando, I met them atthe last reunion!
What city are you in now?

Hi,
Thought Iwould share a little...according to my family records... passed down verbally, your grandfather Sabino was born: February 9, 1890 and died April 1958. I have a picture of Antonia Garcia, I don't know if you have one, but it is the hardest piece of info I've come across. Have a letter concerning bringing the boys over rom Cuba and leaving the farm, dishes, etc behind. Could still use a little translating, also hard to see. Have military records of Justo I!
Billy (husband of Rosie... she'll be off work later this evening) .

As you have both noticed, new members are not able to send emails or PMs to other members. New members can only post messages on the forum. We were forced to implement that software rule because of spammers.

We also ask that you not post your email address or anyone else's in the forum.

I would also point out that while some topics may be best shared in private, you probably have other unknown cousins online who would be thrilled to read about their ancestors and relatives and then get in touch with you. So please don't stop telling your family on the forum story just because you've found each other.
