Suronda Gonzales sent me a letter about the workshop and her website that I thought might interest some of the list members, especially those with Spanish heritage. I forwarded it once and it didn't go through. I copied and pasted the important information. Patricia Dennison Saw that you're doing a workshop soon, and thought you might want to add our website that focuses on Asturian immigrants from Spain to the United States and other parts. http://www.asturianus.org As you might know, Spaniards from this region were quite numerous in Harrison County during the first two decades of the twentieth century. There are several families in the area who are still closely connected to this history. In order to post at the site, folks must first register (at no cost of course). We'd love to have questions and reactions from anyone interested in this community. Best of luck with your workshop,

Hi Linda, I just read your new book and it was wonderful. Thank you so very much for making it available and for everything you do for us. Sherry
That is a wonderful service you have done, by putting that together. I was hoping for a connection with one of my lines! What a woman she is... The closest I could get is with a maternal great grandfather , Leonard Funk Brahm, who also fought at Cold Harbor (Coal Harbor). He then came to WV and ended up settling in Fairmont. Thanks so much.

Hi All, I have posted the pictures from yesterdays meeting at the Waldomore on HCGS@MyFamily.com. Come and try a piece of Ruby's cake. I can try and put them on a picture site but most of YOU have not gone there when I posted. The picture sites are all free for guest. What happens is YOU have to sign in and pick a password on almost every site. It is free but they take YOU in through a sign in page where they hope YOU will buy pictures. YOU don't have to buy pictures YOU can just view. The pictures they print are first class, just like the photos YOU buy at the store. My sister and daughter in law buys them all the time. I have even bought some myself. The service is fast. Maybe I can put them on my Tribal Web Page and pretend Ruby is part of the Family. I wish I was related to this nice person. Love YOU, Jim Consider each day a gift. Use each for who knows when we shall no longer be able to do so. James R COTTRILL. BuckyK3LIE@aol.com 3119 Pioneer AVE, Pittsburgh, PA 15226-1740 412-563-2379
Dear Ruby and Jim, You are both welcome for Arden and my part in the surprise. It's Ruby and Bob's day. It is always nice to be around good people and to be able to be a part of such special days. We wish you both many many more happy years together. Arden and Ethel
Hi Ruby, Got home this evening OK. I hope to get your picture with YOU and YOUr cake on MyFamily.com sometime tonite or tomorrow. YOU deserved everything we did for YOU. Even Ethel felt that way. Thanks Ethel I needed YOU. You need that womans touch to make some things go right.. Thanks Arden for sharing Ethel. LOVE Ruby and Ethel and even Bob & Arden., Jim Consider each day a gift.
