Belnavis

[k1mmie]

Thanks to these wonderful sites, I may have been introduced to a relative long lost! We are trying to establish some connections and are looking for a registered birth of Benito Alejandro (or Alexander) Belnavis - born in Malaga Spain in 1936 (approx).

Also his sister Patricia Herma Veronica Belnavis born around 1940 either Spain or Jamaica.

Any help appreciated. Thank you

Thanks. Got a bit confused by that site. clicked on the surname and got nothing and then clicked on the area of Spain - Malaga and got nothing that made sense.

Just said it was catalogues but nothing came up.. Can you actually search surnames and access data on this site do you know?

thanks

Totally stumped now. I think that personally these details have been confused.

Cannot find any spanish records (especially that I understand) for Benito Belnavis born in Malaga. Cannot find any records for his father Oscar either. In fact not any sign of Belnavis in SPain at all. I think there may be some confusion and maybe it was Spanish town or area of Jamaica as there seem to be a large collection there. Also his sister did come via Kingston to UK, but they could be from a different mum as he did not come over with her.

Any suggestions please???
