Familia Fernandez Martinez de Cuba
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2004 1:37 pm
Estamos localizando a la familia de mi abuela María Fernández Martínez nacida entre los años 1879 y 1881 en el pueblo de Trevías, Municipio Valdés (Luarca), Principado de Asturias.
Ella con su madre vinieron para Cuba cuando tenia 12 años de polizón en el Barbarán. Mi padre me cuenta que ella recibio cartas por los años 50 de una prima pero esas cartas se perdieron, parece que ella en su vejez las perdio o las boto. De ninguna manera las he encontrado. Queda solo mi padre de sus descendientes directos y ya no recuerda mucho por su edad, por supuesto.

We are trying to get in touch with the family of my grandmother, María Fernández Martínez, who was born sometime between 1879 and 1881 in the village of Trevías, part of the municipality of Valdés (in the county of Luarca), in Asturias.
She, with her mother, came to Cuba when she was 12 years old as a stowaway on the Barbarán. My father tells me that she received letters in the 1950s from a cousin but these letters were lost. It seems that in her old age she lost them or threw them out. I've not been able to find them in any way. My father is her only remaining direct descendent and now doesn't remember much due to his age, of course.
