Hello, my name is Tyrone Mascareņas of El Centro, CA. Son of Benjamin son of Augustine from La Junta, CO. I became interested on my family genealogy after the death of my grandmother Cluadia (Whatley)Mascareņas. I realizied that I knew very little of my grandparents, I never met my grandfather, he died before I was born and I only saw my grand mother for 2 weeks every summer as a child. After her death I starting asking my father questions about his parents and his experinces growing up during the Great Depression and his service during WWII. He's told me many stories that I wish to pass on to my children one day. Well from there it spiral to wanting to know more about the Mascareņas and how they got to Colorado and who were they, as persons.
With the help of v_bercier@hotmail.com, Jose Antonio Esquibel, HGRC, RootsWeb, FamilySearch.org I have been able to trace my family all the way to Antonio Mascareņas and Catalina Xuarez of Lisbon, Portugal.
If any one has any information they would like to share with me or if they have a question for me, email me.
