Find Family
I've been researching the following family surnames since 1998 to the present: Martinez,Diaz, De la Rosa,Marquez,Roig, Jime,Cruz,Betancourt, Felix, Ruiz, Monge, Saez, Navarro, Boyer, Baquero,and Viera ,etc. I have also done research on the Irizarry and Rodriguez families from Yauco and the Reinosa-Segui family from Puerta de Tierra, San Juan.

Through the search, I've made contact with two cousins from the Monge branch, (Josephine Doherty and Leslie Peoples), who kindly provided me with some of their data for publishing the Monge genealogy, which includes the clans of Hato Rey, Trujillo Alto, and Canovanas in Puerto Rico. Also I include some of the data which Ana Romanillos Espendez kindly contributed of the Navarro branch from Guayama, especially from the town of Carmen,
and some information from Alexandra Reinosa, who is a descendant of one of the Reinosa branches.

I welcome any contact from possible relatives from the different branches!
