Mi bisabuelo también emigró a Puerto Rico desde Cudillero pero creo fue después de esa fecha ya que aproximadamente esa es la fecha de nacimeinto su nombre era Angel del Busto si alguien tiene información please me avisan?

My great-grandfather also emigrated to Puerto Rico from Cudillero, but I think it was after that date, since that is about the date he was born. His name was Angel del Busto. if anyone has information, please let me know.
