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

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 ?
