Dear Juan Carlos,
Thank-you for your email. My grandfather Adolfo R. Arguelles (with dieresis) left Gijon at age 16 and settled in Baracoa,Oriente, Cuba. I believe he came withrelatives that settled in other parts of the island. A brother, Ricardo, went from Spain to Mexico. My grandfather married Otilia Navarro and they had 8 children. My father Benigno was the youngest and he mostly lived in La Habana. I left Cuba for the U.S. with my father and mother at age 16 in the sixties after the beginning of the revolution and have spent lengthy periods of time in Canada, Europe, and India.
It would be helpful if your grandparents or parents knew if they had any relatives in Baracoa. All of my family of origin is now deceased.
Looking forward to keeping in touch with you and knowing how your family got from Cuba to the UK etc.
Warmly,
Lourdes
