When I was younger, I always wanted to find out more about my surname, Reinosa. I knew there was a town in northern Spain with the same name. I had actually requested information about it hoping I would receive a clue on where my family came from. About ten years later, here I am actually researching to find out who my ancestors were. I've received quite a few surprises so far. I've also been able to make a few connections with distant cousins. The information that sparked my drive to continue researching was seeing my grandfather's name on a list of killed Mariners during World War II. Suddenly, I had what ship he died on, USAT Dorchestor and the date, February 3, 1943. That was a year ago.
I am researching the following surnames: Reinosa, Cedeño, Quiñones, Velazco, Hernandez, Navedo, Laureano, Rosario. The towns of Puerto Rico which my family came from are: San Juam, Yauco, Utuado, Aguas Buenas, Guaynabo, Vega Baja, Juncos, and San Lorenzo.
