Cathy, my mother (Olivia Vasquez - born 1/23/1922)is from Cherryvale KS, her mother (Maria Garcia) and father (Avelino Vasquez) are both from Castillon, Asturias. I have been told that Avelino with his three brothers initial came via Cuba to West Virgina and then to Donora PA in the 1908-1915. Avelino return to Spain and brought Maria back to Cherryvale abt. 1921.Maria Garcia, her mother was Rafaela Alonzo and father Jose Garcia were also from Asturia (near Piedra Blancas).
My mother remembers living in the Spanish section of Cherryvale with the Sanchez family.
We had a wonderful week vacation in Piedra Blancas in July of 2000 and met many of my relatives from the Garcia line.
My mother is still alive, but she has trouble remembering.
