Asturian-American Migration Forum

Buenos días,
Soy Patricia Prieto, profesora de Historia en un instituto de Granada (España). Estoy preparando un trabajo sobre la emigración española a Estados Unidos entre 1880 y 1930.
Voy a elaborar varias historias de vida y para ello necesito la colaboración de los descendientes de estos emigrantes: fotografías, cartas, rellenar un cuestionario, etc.
Espero que me podáis ayudar con vuestra información.
Podéis escribirme aquí en el foro, o mandarme un email.

Gracias!!!

Hello, Patricia! Welcome to the forum.

There are a number of stories about immigrants in the forum already, including a few newspaper accounts. Most of the articles appeared in La Nueva España, so using this search in Google finds many articles: You might also search on "Saul Fernández" or "Elisa Campo" (who were the authors of many of the articles), like this: Here are a few of them:

The section of the forum with the most information would be these:
http://www.asturianus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4
http://www.asturianus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
Although that last section has a lot of stories, they're mixed in with genealogical searches, which makes them harder to find.

Finally, I'd highly recommend the book, Pinnick Kinnick Hill: An American Story by Gavin Gonzalez. It one of the few books (maybe only book) on the Asturian immigrant experience in America. It is a lightly fictionalized account of one Spanish family’s experience in West Virginia following the emigration of Spanish zinc workers to the industrial hub of north central West Virginia shortly after 1900. It is a dual language book, with opposite pages in English and Spanish. There's more information here:
