My mothers side is from Añasco and Mayaguez, PR I have family (Justiniano surname my mom and Byron, grandma)
My father's side of the family is not known to me as he left when I was 3. So my ROSARIO side of my family tree is a small "branch" with 2 or 3 leaves!!
On my mom's side I have a few branches, limbs and leaves...that's what I am trying to work on mostly
Hi! Jaime...
in our community some of our people prepare for "All Souls Day" Nov.1st
Some households make a dinner and is shared with other people who drop by
to eat. A sp[rit plate is offered to your loved ones who passed on.
This was done in the passed and almost disappeared and came back again.
The family will prepare traditional dishes. Have you experienced this while your stay in Ontario ?
Hello and a warm welcome Jaime. I am the site administrator for this network and it would be my pleasure to answer any questions you might have about using this site. In the meantime, enjoy, and I hope you find your experience here rewarding.
My mother was born in Caguas and my father in Comerio, raised in Aguas Buenas. I was born in NY, but have traveled quite a bit. Spent some time in Cali in 2002 with friends. I have also been to the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota. Right now I live in Maryland.
Thanks for the friend invite! You might be related to my daughters who are also Rosarios. I also walk the Red Road and have been a Sundance supporter for years. Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin.
