I'm looking for the decendents of Balas Hernández González from San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Islas Canarias, España. My Great-grandfather (Born in 1899) was his brother and I would like to find my cousins.

Thank you, but my great-grandfather immigrated to Cuba from Barcelona (I luckily have the documents). I'm researching his siblings that stayed behind in the Canary Islands. We know that they stayed in the islands and married and started families because we stayed in touch with them up until the Cuban revolution when we were isolated.

The Canary Islands AKA Canarias, Spain. Have not been able to find information at  Canarias, Spain. Maybe someone at WikiTree would know how to research there.

Do you have birth years for the brothers of your great grandfather? Would you have the names of spouses, marriage years or death years?

Sadly, no. I have his baptism record, however, its barely legible, I think I can make out some of the names but I'm not entirely sure of it.

I found some records from Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Geneanet. Is there any way you can send me the baptism record or attach it here? I have some experience deciphering old documents and would be happy to give it a try.
