This idea was brought to me by Deon Jennings, who was married to my cousin Yolanda(RIP). My  parents were both born in PR, but met in NYC. I am a 1st generation Nuyorican, and this is my tree.

The purpose of this tree is to pass along facts, names and dates to the future generations so that we may all have a sense of family and history. As time marches, we all must make an effort to  reach out to family,so that the blood that runs through us continues to do so. If you want to add  any facts, names or dates, you can email the info to my wife Angie(Negra) or myself and we will  add it to the tree. What started as vacation with my wife and her family in Culebra, became the  beginning of discovery of family I did not know existed. When I visited my aunt Herminia prior to  heading to Culebra. She told me I had family there. That news stunned me. She gave me the number  to my paternal grandmother Teresa's sister, who lived in St. Croix in 2007. She passed away in 2008. At that point, I found members of the Carino family in Culebra, PR in 2007. They are from Teresa's side. It was great to find more family. I visited where my paternal grandparents were buried in Fajardo, PR. I met my 1st 5th cousin Alejandro in Culebra in 2007, who's mother was Miss Culebra 2006. I miss my grandparents,but I will always carry them in my heart.I miss having my family around,like I did as a child. Over the last five years, I have reconnected with family I haven't seen or heard from in over 15 years. In 2009, I met my 2nd cousin Ivelisse, whose mother is  Yvette Montes. I recently added a branch from my parental grandfather's side. The descendants of  my great uncle Galin, great aunt Felicita, and great aunt Laura Ramos. I just got in contact with my 2nd cousin Tex's daughters in FL in 2010. During the Summer of 2010, I met some of my relatives  from St. Croix, and my 2nd cousin Abigail, and contacted her daughters.In 2011, I've met 3rd  cousins : Matilde Rios, Dan Maldonado, Ciara Rivera, and 4th cousins Khiannyz and Allison. In July  2011, I met my 3rd cousin Marcus, on my paternal grandfather's side, and Marisol Ramos and her  fmaily. In 2013, I met my cousins Cynthia and Marlene, and their kids. So whether you're a Ramos,Pena, Rivera,Clark,Torres or Ayala,DeJesus, Figueroa, Rios,Perez  etc.,there's a branch waiting for you on our tree. Let's all do our part in reconnecting and  meeting new family. Why wait for funerals to meet others? The search continues..
