I'm Catalan (from Catalonia) and this is my weblog: [http://galindaines.blogspot.com Galindaines] where you can find what worries me, my travel pictures and all this stuff.

I'm not a regular contributor of the English Wikipedia. In fact I'm a regular contributor of the Catalan one, and just seldom link here relevant articles on the English one. So pls., excuse me if I do not read frequently any message, and cannot respond it.

You can jump to my [http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuari:Friviere Catalan user page]. Please write there any urgent thing, even if I could seldom take some time to read it! :)

• Military history of Catalonia not finished. Translation and correction help needed

Juníper Serra, Juniper Serra or Junipero Serra

I'm actually studying whether his name was Juniper o Junipero.

And found:

He's real name was Miquel Josep Serra i Ferrer [http://www.grec.net/ Gran Enciclopeadia Catalana]

And still investigating...

Gaspar de Portolà

The correct writing in his own signature is Gaspar de Portolà and not Gaspar de Portolá. I understand there may be some confussion for non accented language speakers.

References to prove that are:

• http://www.tvcatalunya.com/historiesdecatalunya/documents/doc169904107.htm Diary of the Portolà Expedition (Please look at his original signature here!), keeped at the http://cvc.cervantes.es/actcult/museo_naval/ Museo Naval de Madrid, where anybody could check it.

And many other I can add upon request.

Therefore, both pages should be swaped.
