Notes for Eduardo Jacobo MORALES Martinez:
By Dave Martinez:
Eduardo was born in 1920 in Manati, Puerto Rico. He married Carmen Alicia Castro Gomez, a childhood neighbor. They had two children, Carmen Alicia Morales Castro and Eduardo Morales Castro born about 1945 and 1946 respectively. Eduardo was an accountant and I first met him on a trip in the early 1970's as well. Eduardo met me at the hotel and took me to the fort "El Morro" for the first time. He also took me through the oldest cemetery in San Juan where I saw the plot for the family of the famous Puerto Rican actor, Jose Ferrer, married to Rosemary Clooney. His son Jose, is also is an actor as well.
This crypt is no doubt one of the finest I had ever seen with Jose Ferrer as a young boy carved in marble full size. The cemetery is full of these types of crypts and grave markers. Eduardo later took to see "Paso Fino" horses, his favorite animal and he rides on occasion. If you have never seen a Paso Fino (fine stepping) you will not believe these small horses. The Spanish knew what they were doing to develop this breed for the many shipboard ventures they took. We have to thank the Moores for this horsemanship heredity.
Carmen Alicia is a historian, poet and book writer and graduated from the University of PR. She is presently doing a dissertation in Spain on its history for an advanced degree. She has provided significant help on this genealogy that I am working. The records on the Morales family she sent was a quantum leap for me. I don't get those breaks often and I am taking it as far back as I can due to Carmen's help. Carmen is married to Linus Deeny O'Reilly and they have two daughters that live near them and my daughter. The daughters are Alicia Maria and Ana Cristine and I hope they meet someday soon. I have been communicating with the daughters by E mail of late.
Eduardo Jr. has a family and he went to the University of Puerto Rico as well. I met him in my travels to PR in the 1970's and he took me around the city of San Juan. I remember him in his twenties and I don't think he was marred. He may have been a student and working at the time. His wife is Nilda Rivera, who I have not met and the children are Eduardo, Zulma and Damaris, born bout 1960, 61, and 62 respectively.
Eduardo Sr. has an amazing memory and has helped me with this genealogy as well. He also has a great sense of humor which Idon't expect from some of the and Martinez traits which may come from Esperanza and Ramon (stoic). I look forward to seeing him this December if possible.
