CAPDEVILLE, ETCHARTE
Michel CAPDEVILLE and Rosalie ETCHARTE lived, got children and died in St. Pierre et Miquelon. They are said to be born in St. Jean-de-Luz (France) in 1860, but old people from my family say that they didn't know talking french and were from Spain. In fact, I think they were talking "basque", but were really from Basque country in Spain, maybe circa Irun. Do you have these surnames in your Spanish Basque Genealogy ? Thank you.

Any other information on this surname, how and from where I can get more data will be very helpful and appreciated.

Going Home
Jeremy Schmidt, Researcher Great North Productions 3720 76th Ave Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6B2N9 Phone (780) 440-2022 Ext. 265 Fax (780) 440-3400 Email jeremy.schmidt@greatnorth.ab.ca I am working as a researcher for a Canadian television documentary company called Great North Productions. We a researching for a series called "Going Home", The series will be seen on two channels, The Life Network, and the History Channel. The History Channel wants a story with a historical spin, and the Life Network wants a dramatic story. We want to incorporate both of these elements in a story of a Canadian returning to Spain. Do you or anyone you know have a story to tell that takes you back to Spain? Please contact me. Going Home Series Overview Going Home is a weekly, half-hour television series that will follow Canadian families or individuals, the famous and not-so-famous, as they return to the country of their family's origins-sometimes for the first time in their lives, sometimes for the first time in generations, and sometimes, to renew friendships with close friends and relatives. Going Home will present to a national audience the varied multi-cultural facets of our country and help Canadians understand where many of us came from-and, as importantly, why we came. Combining travel, history and cultural exploration, Going Home promises to be unique, informative, entertaining and participatory. The series will be unpretentious and unpredictable. In true cinema viewer's style, we will never know in advance what awaits our travelers. Viewers watching Going Home will come to expect the unexpected. Genealogy has become almost a sacred mission for tens of thousands of Canadians, and millions of people worldwide. Canada's Centennial in 1967 and Alex Haley's 1976 book Roots, fuelled earlier explosions in searching out family trees. This latest phenomenon springs from the Internet. With only minimal coaching, people are flocking to related web sites (there are over two million-and counting) to transport themselves back in time. When the Mormons set up their free Internet site in May 1999, it received a staggering 30 million electronic hits in its first day of operation. Surprisingly, the most dedicated questions, according to a survey for American Demographics magazine, are 35 to 44 years old, a group whose nomadic days are over and who are often raising kids. They show a strong desire to reconnect to their roots-to fill in the gaps. The families or individuals who trace their heritage in episodes of Going Home will be selected by means of electronic and print research. A small production committee might screen short home videos submitted by interested parties in which they explain why they want to return to their ancestral homeland. These videotapes could become part of the opening sequence of each episode, and would enable the producers to ensure that the subjects of each episode are comfortable before the cameras and have engaging personalities. Once the successful applicants have been selected, our documentary crew will film them in Canada as they prepare for their trip and we will find out what they expect to learn from their journey. We will then follow them to their destination and document their experiences. We will come to learn something about the land and the culture they left, find out why they (or their forefathers) emigrated to Canada, and learn whether or not they now think this was a wise decision. In some cases, we may arrange for our travelers to be met by a local expert genealogist and/or historian who will have been selected, as is done on the successful Antique Road Show series, for their expertise in specific regions and time periods, and for their on-camera presence and personality. The expert will then accompany the visitor back to the region of his or her ancestry; explore both the history and the contemporary reality of the area and attempt to make a connection with the visitor's ancestral roots. Each half-hour episode of Going Home will consist of one major documentary segment in which we follow one family or individual back to the country of their ancestry. This would be the centerpiece of each program. It could be packaged with the video audition tapes and with interviews with the subjects after they have returned from their trip. A studio host would conduct these interviews, someone well recognized as an historian of note and with a comfortable on-camera presence. Great North Productions would like to pay for an individual to take a trip to their homelands. I'd like is contact names and phone numbers of Canadians that would like to take a trip to their homeland. Please reply if you have any leads or people that we can follow up with. I am more than happy to send information on Going Home and Great North Productions. This is a real offer!!!! If you want to go back to your homeland and you have a story to tell, or for more information feel free to contact me.

Seek information on Charles Albert SIGSBIE or Albert SIGSBIE or unknown first name, but same/similar last name, who purportedly married Spanish woman, possibly named Lucia Inez c 1840. He may have been born in US or Spain or elsewhere. They may have had a son possibly named Charles Albert or Albert c. 1840's, born in Spain. Old family story says they were of old Spanish nobility and that either father or son was at one time in the Royal Guards to the King. The family is said to have come to America at the time of an uprising in Spain. This would have occurred mid-late 1800's. SIGSBEE families researchers have been unable to document this family's origins. The SIGSBEE name is probably of Dutch or English origin and "SIGSBEE" spelling was first adopted in America c. 1800. There are many early variations of the name in New York documentation. It seems unlikely that early the SIGSBIE said to be in the Royal Guards had father from Spain, unless the name is similar, but different, but it's possible mother's side was from Spain. The father could have immigrated to Spain from US or elsewhere early in time. Is there a way to check names of guardsmen in the Royal Guards during that time period, or any birth records or marriage records?

NEW: MORENO y BUSTO
Estimado Amigos, Mi nombre es Ramón José Moreno. Yo soy español y resido en las Filipinas. Yo estoy escribiendo un libro sobre ' la familia de Moreno'. Mi bisabuelo, 'Don Francisco Moreno y Sanchez ' y mi bisabuela, 'Dona Rosario Sebastia Y Guanzot ' sea residentes de 'Santander', 'Barcelona' y 'Alcala de Guadaira, Sevilla '. Ellos vinieron al 'Filipinas ' en los tarde 1800 a temprano 1900 para comprometer en el 'azúcar comercio floreciente ' en la isla de 'Negros ' en el 'Visayas' una región de ' Filipinas '. Mi bisabuelo trabajó en un molino de azúcar. La 'Azzucarera Central de la Carlota ' un molino de azúcar poseyó por la familia de 'Elizalde' en la provincia de Negros, en la Visaya, Filipinas . Aparte de estar envuelto en la industria de azúcar mi bisabuelo también estaba comprometido en la fabricación de coches y carruajes tirados por caballos en el distrito de 'Quiapo' en la ciudad de Manila. Él tenía un compañero en el negocio cuyo apellido es 'Paderes '. Su tienda se localizó cerca del palacio presidencial presente, 'Malacanang ' que por esos días eran la residencia del Gobernador General Español. Los carruajes y coches son ahora parte de la colección del 'museo nacional ' en Manila. Mi bisabuelo tenía dos hijos 'Juan José ' (mi abuelo) y su hermano Luis que también vino a las Filipinas. Mi abuelo era artista y joyero por la profesión pero él siguió los pasos de su padre y también estaba comprometido en el comercio de azúcar. Junto con un caballero nombrado 'Eksline ' que ellos manejaron los funcionamientos del 'Azucarera Central del Manapla' en Negros Occidental. El molino de azúcar y plantaciones fueron poseídas por una familia Española se apellidó 'Ossorio '. Ellos movieron después a 'San José, Mindoro ' dónde mi abuelo también ejecutó un molino de azúcar poseyó por la familia de 'Yangco ' y por la familia de 'Lobregat '. Su hermano Luis trabajó para la empresa del Comercio Británica famosa de ' Macondray' como el gerente del division del producto del ' la harina y alimenta '. Él también era un jugador del fútbol popular por su tiempo y dos veces representó las Filipinas en los Juegos olímpicos uno de que estaba en Shanghai, China en los tempranos 1900. Ellos tenían una hermana 'Rosario ' quien ellos lo dejaron en España. Desgraciadamente, nosotros no sabemos mucho de ella sólo que ella era separada de la familia durante la guerra civil en España. Mi abuelo se casó a mi abuela, 'Manuela Busto y Manzorro (Manzanno)' en los 19 del 1918 de diciembre a la Parroquia de 'de Ermita ' que simplemente es externo la ciudad amurallada de 'Intramuros ' en Manila. Ella es de 'Chiclana dela Frontera ', Cádiz en Andalucia, España. Los padres de mi abuela eran 'Don Nicolás Busto y Ramos ' y 'Dona Francisca Manzorro (Manzanno) y Torres '. Ella es '' Catalán, y tiene un hermano cuyo nombra que nosotros no conocemos. Todos que ellos recuerdan son que él era un soldado que tenía una fotografía que lleva su uniforme con un sombrero que se parecía un ' Fez marroquí '. Después unos años mis abuelos devolvieron a España para establecerse permanentemente. Ellos tenían cinco hijos entonces, 'Juanito ', 'Francisco ', 'Ramón ' (mi padre), 'Alfonso ' y Luis. Ellos tenían una hermana del bebé pero ella se murió poco después el nacimiento. Ellos vivieron en 'Calle Morillo del los Ríos #5 ', 'Alcala de Guadaira ', 'Sevilla ', en 'Andalucia '. Desgraciadamente en 1936 la guerra civil pelado fuera en España. Mi padre recuerda el bombardeo de casas por todas partes en su pueblo y las matanzas. Desde que mi abuela era Catalana la familia en el gran miedo por sus vidas fue obligado a huir España como los refugiados y eso es cómo ellos terminaron viviendo permanentemente en las Filipinas. Ellos nunca vieron de nuevo a España y sus familias, parientes y amigos. Triste como las circunstancias era ellos intentaron soportar los sufrimientos amargos de empezar una nueva vida difícilmente después de que ellos perdieron casi todo lo que ellos poseyeron. La llegada del Japonés durante la segunda guerra mundial (WWII) fue un segundo soplo a la familia porque ellos perdieron todo estimado a ellos incluyendo los documentos vitales, las fotografías de sus amados y los únicos recuerdos restantes de España que ellos pudieron traer a las Filipinas. Cuando los años siguieron a mi abuelo trabajó en un 'tienda de joyería Suiza, 'La Estrella del Norte ' en 'Escolta ' de moda. Ésta era la zona comercial central de Manila por esos días. Después él se volvió el compañero del joyero español 'famoso Rafael Rebullida '. Está aquí que mi padre empezó su aprendizaje como un joyero. Siguiendo en los pasos de su padre que era muy conocido y respetó en la profesión. Durante los años que pasaron a mis abuelos no permitaron a los niños y a nietos hablar en español. Ellos se negaron a hablar sobre España o sus familias de Espana. Mis abuelos se asustaron así de su experiencia de la guerra civil que ellos tuvieron miedo que la sección de inmigración Filipina podría descubrir sus identidades españolas y podría deportar a su familia entera atrás a España. Yo he estado haciendo mi investigación ahora durante los últimos tres años. Desde el sistema de los archivos en las Filipinas es bastante dirigido hacia antiquados, mientras obteniendo la información es muy difícil. Yo estoy haciendo esta demanda para que mis niños y los otros niños en nuestras familias puedan saber sus raíces y pueden estar orgulloso de su ' herencia hispana '. Yo también estoy haciendo esto para honrar 'España ' mi país de la madre que mis abuelos para que amó. Ellos sufrieron dolor de nunca poder ir la casa dónde su familia y las raíces son de. Esto rompió el corazón de mi abuela. Mis abuelos se murieron, mientras nunca viendo su patria igualar para justo el tiempo pasado. Yo también estoy haciendo esto para que nuestra familia pueda reunirse con nuestras parientes en España y tambien en otras paises donde vivieron. Para mi amor de país y familia. Dispensa me si estoy molestiando usted con mi busqueda. Quierio nada mas saber si algien tiene informacion sobre a mis bis-abuelos, abuelos y otras parientes. Muchas gracias por su attention!

RE: Returning to Spain
Dear Mr. Schmidt: I'm in the process of locating family members that may have survived the Spanish Civil War of Spain. My father was born with the name Jose Sanchez Iglesias at 7 a.m. at Calle Casillo (Street Name) in the Village of Lora del Rio and province of Seville. His mother's name was Josefa Iglesias Laina, Grandmother Francisca Laina Herrero and Grandfather Epfabio Iglesias. His father's name was Aurelio Sanchez Acuna, Grandmother Josefa Antona Acuna Barriento and Grandfather Francisco Sanchez Pelino. It has been thought that both families were originally from an area called Fuenta de Canto de Badajoz, Spain. An area hit hard by the war. My father and his sister Maria Setefilla (her birth name) were both adopted by America Garcia Corrales of Tenerife, Canary Islands Spain. They were both adopted from an Orphanage called Residencia de Santo Louis in Seville Spain. The big question. How can an orphanage have so much information?? Someone who knew both children had to have brought them there. Both my father and aunt were told that their parents died due to the civil war. Maybe poverty, war etc. etc. made it difficult for others to care for them. I will follow up again. I sent recent correspondence to various Archdiocese of Spain to ask for assistance. Thank you. Maria

My maternal Grandparents imigrated from Spain (Penaranda and Moncera de Abajo)provice of Salamanca around 1913. They travelled via ship to Hawaii where the family worked in the Sugar Cane Industry for a year to gain passage to California. My Grandfather (Mariano Sanchez) and my Grandmonther (Ceferina Martin) were married in Hawaii and eventually imigrated to California and settled in Hollister. My Grandfather who was a shepard in Spain had five brothers and a sister who was killed by lightning while they still lived in the old country. My Great Grandfather Pedro Sanchez was concerned that all his sons would be drafted into the Army and sent to North Africa where Spain was still fighting colonial wars. My Grandparents and other imigrants from Spain formed a benificial society in Hollister, CA to take care of funeral and burial costs of fellow Spaniards . Union Beneficial Espanoles (UBE). My Mother's maternal Grandfather was a Spanish American War Vet and was wounded in Cuba I believe fighting against the Cubans and Americans. My Grandparents exemplified the spirit of the Imigrants that came to the US in the early part of the century. Hard working, ambitious, and more than anything a strong value for family ties and love and respect for God. They had 32 Grandchildren. Te Quiro Nana y Nano.
