Hi, Couldn't resist to offer some advice. Number one would be to stop the way you are introducing yourself. It bellows ignorance, (uh, no 'princesses' in Salamanca, okay?) The other little bit of advice I'd have is that you get rid of that chip where you think the Seneca are trying to exclude you and keep everything in, okay again? Last bit of advice is, relax, take your time and start with your family, (doesn't your grandfather remember his last name, did he have any Aunts, who raised him? If he knows he was born in Salamanca why not have him apply for a copy of his birth certificate and find his family from there?) If your reason is to find family then start with family, if your ambition is to snatch onto some unrealistic ideal, (princess) than get past that. Why not ask your aunts, uncles, cousins or else search his birth certificate, her death certificate and her death certificate. You have to do a little work. Hopefully the more you learn the more you'll understand why your previous requests may have earned you a cool receptence. best of luck
