Who Are We and Who Were Our Immediate Ancestors
The study of the genealogy of our ancestors can be challenging. The first question that is often asked by persons who are just beginning is, How do I begin?
Most of your research will begin using the Internet and the best place to start is within the United States Federal Census Records of Puerto Rico.
Things you should know that are important to your research:
1: Your family's complete surname. The Puerto Rican surname spins off of the old Spanish tradition.…

Sharing Scientific mtDNA Studies of "Extinct" Taino
It is an old scientific paper on mtDNA studies that were done on ancient skeletons of the Taino ancestors. These studies were done before the People gathered together to ban desecrations of ancient grave sites. Despite that these mtDNA studies prove that the Taino people are not "extinct." That you are still here as evidenced within mtDNA test results of descendants of the Taino.
The paper I am sharing was written by Charles Lalueza Fox et al, I am hoping I can upload it…

The Guanahatabey, New Data - New Vistas, Old
Conceptualizations Revisited
John J. Browne Ayes, Author of Juan Ponce de Leon His New And Revised Genealogy
The Guanahuatabey were a distinct people and spoke a different language from the classic Taino. Thus, they were different from the Taino racially and probably have their ancestry within a different tribal group that migrated from…

Lecture at the College of Ana G. Mendez in OrlandoFlorida
Yesterday I gave a lecture at the college of Ana G. Mendez in Orlando, Florida. The lecture pointed out errors within the history and genealogy of Don Juan Ponce de Leon, the survival of the Indigenous people, the Taino and the Guanahatabey of the Caribbean Islands of Cuba, Isla Hispanola and Isla de San Juan de Puerto Rico survived and left maternal genetic descendants despite the destruction and abuse they suffered during the conquest of the aforementioned islands.
At the end of…

The Ancestry Of Puerto Ricans
My latest discovery within my genealogy is the Legrand.
Jean Baptiste Legrand immigrated from New Orleans to Puerto Rico during the early 1800's when the Spanish royals had issued what was called Cedula de Gracia. To qualify the immigrant had to have had baptism within the catholic church. the immigrants were then granted land as well as official citizenship in the Spanish province of Puerto Rico.
My other grandfather, Jean Louis Ales also immigrated to Puerto Rico…

Thanx for requsting me as your friend on the site. Havent connected in a while. Many personal issues that I am working threw.
Thanx for you comments. I am going to look into them. But it diffently makes sence that Guanahuatabey and Ciboney also lived in PR. These two tribe are not really written about. They are grouped up with the tainos. So it does make sence that we have Guanahuatabey and Ciboney admixture. On top of that I am sure they also spoke a arawak based languge. Or a dialect of it. So I am sure that some of the words that we use are not only taino but these two other tribes aswell. I think that even carib words. I am sure do to the spaniords inslavement of our people. We must have some carib admixture aswell.
Nice pictures, of you and your mom and grandmother. Very idigenous. I diffently see the features you mentioned on your grandmother. Very intersting. Like I said before I dont know much about the Haplo Group catogories. But its diffently intersting that you have Guanahuatabey-Ciboney Haplo Group. That I know of the Guanahuatabey and Ciboney didnt live in PR. Did they?
I have to admit all that dna sound chinese to me. But diffently it would be intersting to see what thy come up with. Cause I have the same doughts that you have. I see many ridicouls claims.
To tell you the truth the reconstruction look nothing to what the skull does. The reconstruction looks like a person of negroid and mongloid admixture. But the skull with out the clay looks very caucasion.
Know that you mention it. I too hope no one is getting offended. The terms that I am using are anthropolgy terms.
