Can you tell me more about Marcela? My father had a sister Marcela that was rumored to have passed away but I could never locate a death record. My father was Pedro Morales deLeon. Their mother Sixta died when they were both very young and My father was raised by his father Eloy Morales Lebron and the housemaid who married my grandfather several years later, Epifania Rodriguez Sanchez. No one seems to know what happens to Marcela as my father was only 3 yrs old and nothing else was really carried on for him.

Not sure how this message got passed me!...Hi Erica! Not sure how this message got passed me! We actually are related!! Raimundo Orozco was the son of Inocencio Orozco Santiago (sometimes he appears as Inocencio Santana) and his wife Josefina Lebrón Delgado. Inocencio being the son of Benito Orozco. <br /><br />I have connected with a few cousins here and there from the Orozco side but haven't found a male descendant, your dad would be the first! I recently got a chance to visit Yabucoa and go to Calabazas but didn't meet any cousins, just went to tour around. If he would be willing to take the test that would be awesome since we don't have that Y-DNA for Benito Orozco. If you would like to chat more my email is L_Rivera25@yahoo.com Hope to hear from you soon!

I asked my dad about his grandparents but he said he didn't have a relationship with them because my grandmother, Cecilia Roldan-Cruz (also deceased) didn't get along with his mother. I have always asked my dad for pictures of my grandparents while they were young but he said they didn't take a lot of pictures back then. I am so curious about my roots and this blog has made me even more eager to investigate. My dad goes to Yabucoa all the time. We still have family out there. I took my oldest son with my last summer and it was so beautiful! So are you and I related? Have you connected with any of the family since you started searching? I was wondering, would be father be a person who could do this test you are talking about? I don't know if he would even agree to it but I am just curious. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for sharing!Erica S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17661106680513357472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374838921731256393.post-71755897310768192232014-02-22T11:16:53.174-08:002014-02-22T11:16:53.174-08:00I have a similar situation in my family with my gr...I have a similar situation in my family with my great grandmother and her siblings. I know they were born in Yabucoa but I can't find a good number of their birth records until one of them is born in the 1920s. Could be possible she was not registered on time or at all. Are there any church records available for that town at the time? Maybe they were baptized but never officially signed up at the Registro Civil. Also, check the barrio they lived in and if it bordered any other town, very possible it was easier to hop the border to another town where the register was closer than actually go to the center of the town they actually lived on. A lot of my family members weren't literate but it didn't really interfere with signing them up, if anything it would interfere with spellings of names and accurate dates. Good luck with the search!Luis Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710452569605312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374838921731256393.post-68207647443621208292014-02-19T13:13:08.595-08:002014-02-19T13:13:08.595-08:00I've been keeping up with all your posts &...I've been keeping up with all your posts & love reading about all your discoveries. <br /><br />I have a question for you. <br /><br />In all your time researching is it possible that someone's birth was undocumented in PR? My great grandmother I found a death record for. On it it says her birth date which was in 1900, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong. Plus, they even got her gender wrong on the death certificate so this leads me to think nothing on it is very accurate. Also, It doesn't make sense with looking at all her census records & with 1 marriage record I found for her. I'm guessing she was born closer to 1880's or 1890's. I've searched in all the possible birth records I found under Juncos, PR & her name does not show up. However, the other puzzling thing is that neither do any of her siblings. From the census info I found it looks like no one in her family including her were literate. Could this maybe have something to with why none of the births were recorded?
