This site is dedicated to the genealogy of the families who immigrated to Puerto Rico during the 1800s, found one another, and formed our

Happy Autumn!
Summer went by way too fast for me and Hallmark already
has Christmas Ornaments displayed for sale...Ay yi yi!
My computer moved on to technology heaven over the Summer after many years of
being pushed beyond its limits and faithful service. I am in the process of
installing my software into the new system which arrived this week. I hope to
add new material to the website in two weeks time. I've got a couple of projects
partially done so I'm not sure what I'll be adding first.
Check back around the 15th. Until then, I wish a healthy Fall season
to all!
Julia

¡Hola Familia!
I hope that this update finds everyone well. I'm working on adding more photos
to the individual records and I came across some unidentified photos for which I have
created the section, Can you solve these puzzles?. Please check
out the pages in this section. It might turn out that you know something about one of
the photos. Also, please feel to send me your unidentified photo with whatever information
you may have for it. I will create and add a page to this site for it. Please only send
photos that you believe to be related or connected the genealogy on this website.
The photos on this website have been acquired from many people and sources. I am slowly
identifying each photo with a note indicating how I came about that image. Position your
mouse over an image on this website and you will see the name of the person who provided
that image or its source. I'm still working on this so not all of the photos have this
notation.
Last but not least, I'm willing to create a links page which would list the websites, blogs,
Facebook, etc. of folks related to the genealogy of this website. So if you're interested,
send me your link and let me know how your link relates to the genealogy on this website.
Wishing all a great week,
Julia

Kathy and I just recently referred to Martin Gaudier’s books on Puerto Rican genealogy,
again. The wealth of information in the genealogies and biographies provided in these
books are invaluable. The indexes in these books list the genealogies in alphabetical
order and by city. I thought that it might be helpful to have the index pages handy so
I have made them available as downloadable PDF files on the RECOMMENDED READING page.
Wishing all a great week,
Julia

Happy June!
Vinnie Sanabria Terreforte has discovered the first name for one of the "Unknown First Names" in our database!
Via his research on Ancestry.com of the 1910 United States
Federal Census for information on the TERREFORTE family line, Vinnie found that Maria Alejandrina
Alers Beauchamp was married to VICENTE Rivera.
Thank you Vinnie for filling in one of our blanks.
Wishing all a great week,
Julia

Additional names have been added to the MISSING LINKS section. The data for
these families have been submitted by cousins trying to
identify the MISSING LINKS that will complete their ancestries.
Please review these files and contact us if you can provide additional information that might help
us to identify the missing link.
Wishing all a great weekend,
Julia

New to the web site is a listing of the names of folks that we have not been able to link to the
main genealogy database. The data for these families have been submitted by cousins trying to
identify the MISSING LINKS that will complete their ancestries.
Please review these files and contact us if you can provide additional information that might help
us to identify the missing link.
Wishing all a great day,

I have added on the pages listing the individual names a notation next to the names that have a photo

Until then, I wish all a blessed Easter.

Welcome to the
redesigned web site
of FAMILIA.
FINALLY!
March 10, 2008
Throughout this web site, you may ignore the security message from Internet Explorer, if you see it, informing
you that it has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. The active
content on this website is a rotating series of images and other content features. Click on the information bar and allow the blocked
content and you will see the images. No harm will be caused to your computer by these features not can your computer be acessed by them.
As some of you know, I've been slooowly working offline to update this web site and then in January I got
the brainstorm to redesign it altogether. Those folks familiar with the original Web site will find all of
the original content, I think, I hope.
You will find on this web site family trees for 4 generations and 1,123 individuals of the 9 generations
and 3,846 individuals that make up our genealogy database. The partial listing on this web site is due to
identity theft & privacy issues. Contact us if you need to track a family line further than what is listed.
You'll need to provide an unposted connection that will convince us that you are related to that family line.
The surnames have been updated to read "Paternal Surname Maternal Surname". Yes, I heard your pleas to
correct this. I simply did not know 14 years ago how to rig up the files in the genealogy program so that
the combined surnames would list correctly.
Several folks reported that they would prefer one listing of all surnames and one listing of the individual
names available on the web site. The listings were previously broken down into the descendants of one of the
three families which resulted in visitors having to follow links back and forth since the family lines
intermingle so often. Done! This actually made my update easier.
New to the website are pages for Tito Lara, slideshows and
2 blogs. More will be added over the next few weeks so sign up to be notified about updates via e-mail.
I will use this space to keep you posted on additions to the site. The scroll box will allow me to add
messages without having to delete the old ones that may used for reference purposes.
Last but not least, this web site would never have been possible without the input of so many
