I have a Norberta Martinez who marries a Colunga (my husband is a descendant of her 2nd marriage).
I do not know the name of the Colugna husband but the had a daughter Esther.
Does anyone have one of their male Colungas marrying a Norberta Martinez in Mexico in the early 1900's maybe?? (I have no definite dates)

Anubis19582000 — 2012-03-30 01:36:55Z

Unfortunately, No.
My grandparents were Jose Colunga and Antonia Martinez
Grandfather was from Parras Coahuila, we think he may be Apache or Kickapoo Indian. He was a very dark skinned man.

Hello, If your grandparents were Felipe & Gloria, we might be related. Felipe was my blood Uncle. Our Colunga clan is from Somerset. Before that, the Colunga's came from Dilley, TX and before that Laredo, Mexico. My grandfather (Your Great grandfather)was Romelo Colunga.

Have a great day!!

Re: would like to know the history of my name

ruthcolungarosas — 2011-06-26 20:55:43Z

It would appear that majority of us have grandparents who are from San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Mine are from Lagunias, SLP. It is interesting to hear that Colungas are also found of German decent. Majority of my Family members are very fair complected. I am ofted asked if I am european because I am so fair complected.

My name is Leonard Colunga. All my family lives here in Houston as well. Grandfather Born in Mexico, Frederico Colunga. Grandfather was raised in Italy.

Re: COLUNGA

leoexpress7849 — 2010-01-19 18:37:55Z

Christy,
From what I know about my family, my grandfather was Frederico Colunga he was raised in Mexico, but his father was raised in Italy. He Married my grandmother Frances Artiaga Garcia. For the most part my Family has grown up here in Houston, TX. My sister and you have the exact same name. Not too sure if any of this connects, but just thought I would share.

Re: COLUNGA

kmbecker111 — 2010-01-12 17:11:09Z

Christy,
I believe your grandfathers parents were Francisca Garza and Catarino Colunga. He also had a sister Guadalupe Colunga who married Emilio Gonzales. Not sure about the precision of Catarino's name. Found it from Guadalupe's Death Cert. Francisca died in 1921 in Karnes City. The Garza's had moved from Fredricksburg to Karnes for work. Francisca's Parents were Macario Garza and Jesusa Sanchez.

Hope this helps. I have been doing research on this family for a few years. They are my wife's family ancestors.

My wife is a Colunga, in our research we went to Colunga Spain. The coats of arms of eastern Asturias were listed. I think Calonge was one of the other names.

I've always wondered the same thing, since I've known that about the village in Asturias since I was little. My Family as far back as I can tell is from Norenas Asturias, Near Oviedo where I was born. I actually went to Colunga in 2007 when i went to visit my family in Spain, and spoke to some people in the town center who told me no Colunga lives in Colunga. If you ever go to Colunga be sure to check out the beach nearby, its actually quite nice.

I also have ancestors named Colunga from San Luis Potosi. My GGG grandfather, Jose Maria Robledo was married to Dolores Colunga b. 1828 S.L.P. I have not found any more information on either of them. My granfather said our Robledo family came from Villaviciosa, Spain. A check of the current phone listings there show many Robledo and Colunga families

Re: would like to know the history of my name

I discovered the town in Spain on the internet. But I recieve many offers through the mail for Italian families only. But one day while sitting in a dental office, a lady sitting next to me found out my last name and said that was her name also. she said to me "funny, you don't look German". I told her my grandparents came from Mexico. She then told me she traced Colunga and found out it was German. A family of Colungas moved to Spain and then a couple of those families went Mexico and settled in San Luis Potosi. Which is where my grandparents are from. And I didn't tell her where they were from. Later I met a man whose mothers' maiden name was Colunga and her other name was German also from the same place. So who knows. The Mormons have everybodys
ancestors so I've been told.For a small fee of course. Hope I helped a little.

If we are related I would love to start some kind of dialoge for the sake of our parents. Please repond to my message, thank you.

Nicole, look in northern Spain in the state of Asturias. There is a small town near the coast called "Colunga" or "Consejo de Colunga".
Also there is a spanish Bible version translated by E. Nacar and A. Colunga (Nacar-Colunga 1944).

HELLO THERE CURIOUS

2000-04-15 01:39:07Z

Hi There,

My fathers extended family come from Ceralvo, Nueva Leon
Mexico, and they went by Colunga also. My fathers name is
Jonas Gamez. He lived in Washington State for several years
until he divorced my mother in '72 and I think went to live
in Idaho and probably moved to California. Perhaps someone or you
may know any Colunga's from Nueva Leon, Mexico too. I think
he had about 12 to 13 brothers and sisters. I never had the
chance in knowing my old man but I too am curious about the
Colungas and Gamez's.

Sincerely,
D.D.GAMEZ.
