Talk:José Semidei Rodríguez

Notice
The "Semedei" family was one of hundreds of Corsican families who immigrated to Puerto Rico. The following is an official list of the surnames of the first 403 Corsican families who immigrated to the Adjuntas, Yauco, Guayanilla, and Guanica areas of Puerto Rico in the 19th Century. This list was compiled by genealogist and historian Colonel (USAF Ret. ) Hector A. Negroni who has done exhaustive research on the Corsican migration and origins of his Negroni family name. See: Corsican immigrants to Puerto Rico.

The surname of the family ends with an "i" and not a "y". A person by the name of "Belen" who claims to be the great-Granddaughter of the subject of this article claims otherwise, that the surname ended with a "y". This may be due to the fact that somewhere along the line someone in her family may have changed the spelling of their family surname. I have asked her to provide some kind of proof that her "great grandfathers" surname was "Semidey" and not "Semidei". Out of good faith, I have changed the spelling of subjects surname to "Semidey", however if Belen can not provide the proof requested within two weeks, which I believe to be a reasonable time, the article and all links to it will be returned to how it originally appeared "Semidei".

 * No proof what-so-ever has been provided that the Brigadier General's surname was Semidey. No further communication by "Belen" as to the subject. Therefore, I will proceed to return the spelling of the surname to "Semidei" as it was originally posted and as it appears in all the reliable verifiable sources.
