IWANT SOME ONE TO TELL ME ABOUT WERE MY LAST NAME COMES FROM.

My father has always told me that our last name is Greek - his mother was from Mexico and Father was 1/2 indian 1/2 greek but was from s.Texas. I still have family in Carizo Springs, TX outside of San Antonio. Any relation?

My mother is from Cuba. Her dad was from a province in Spain, we think from Lugo. A few years ago their prime minister was named Arias

My fathers family (arias) was from Monforte in the north of spain from a province called Lugo.....

anyone from there

Dear Agatha,
Could it be that you are a part of my maternal grandfather's family? Jose Arias left from somewhere in Lugo to travel to Cuba. He left a big family. I can definitely e-mail you with more info from my mom if you think you may have a connection. We have been looking for family from Lugo since I was a little girl. We even visited Lugo's capital searching for a birth certificate and came up empty.

Looking forward to hearing from you!!
Always, (maybe cousin) Sylvia

querida Sylvia!

All i know, from my parents, is that my fathers side came from Monforte de Lemos, but now living in Ourense.

My grandfathers name is Victorino Arias Lopez and grandmothers name Concepcion Casar Rodriguez. My gf has one sister and one brother still alive. The sister lives in Monforte and the brother in Barcelona. My gm has one brother still alive. My grandparents now live in Orense.

From speaking to my father he believes that some of my grandfathers relatives moved to Cuba.

Maybe we are related!!

Hasta pronton prima!

My father's family was from Artemisa, Cuba and San Antonio Rio Blanco, Cuba. His ancestors were from a part in Spain near France. Anyone else have Arias relatives from Artemisa or San Antonio?
