My grandfather’s name is Jose Rosal (y Campa) and grandmother Rosa Diaz (y Garcia). They were baptized in Santa Maria Del Mar (church or parish?)
Going back to great grandparents I don’t know paternal great grandfather but maternal great grandmother was Florentine Campa.
On the maternal side my great grandfather was Vicente Diaz; great grandmother unknown. I visited Spain in the 1970’s and there were still relatives alive.
Does anyone have any other information?

As you know, Santa María del Mar is located in Castrillón. The Registro Civil for Castrillón is located at Calle Marcos de Torniello 27, Avilés. Asturias, España. They may have copies of marriage certificates, birth records, death records, etc. Be sure to write in Spanish or have someone translate your requests into Spanish for you. Provide as much information as possible: full names, approximate dates of events, children’s or parents’ names - whatever you have that will make it easier to look through aging paper records.

The church of Santa Maria del Mar is located at el Puerto, 1, 33457 El Puerto, Asturias, España. I’ not sure if the parish records are kept there or were moved to another church or to the diocesan office in Oviedo. You should be aware that some civil and religious records were destroyed during the civil war, but I have been successful in obtaining civil records from Castrillón.
