The Vélez-Padilla side of my family has a long rich history in San Germán, Puerto Rico. My genealogy analysis for this family line goes back to around 1805 with the birth of my 3rd great-grandmother, Dominga Ramírez. While conducting research on San Germán, I came across this incredibly informative mini-documentary on YouTube. It really gives a great historical perspective on the town of my Vélez-Padilla kin.
Welcome to Puerto RiKin!
Puerto RiKin is a blog that will concentrate on Puerto Rican genealogy. The aim is to showcase the ancestry of various Puerto Rican families beginning with my own heritage. I plan to blog about the Velez-Padilla Family of San German, the Gomez-Ruiz Family of Mayaguez, and the Viera-Carmona Family of Rio Piedras. My Puerto Rican kindred will be the focus of this Boricua blog, but I foresee highlighting branches of other family trees in the near future.
