Thank you
Thank you for your kind words. One of the subjects that I have always found interesting is the immigation of hundreds of non-Spanish families to Puerto Rico in the mid-1800s. Families from France, Germany, Corsica (where my mother's family came from) and Ireland settled in the island and their contributions and influence are seldom mentioned. That is why I wrote an immigration series which included the Irish (My garnd-children have Irish heritage in their veins). You may read my Irish immigration to Puerto Rico article, if you wish.

I also wrote the article about Tere Rios' son, Captain Humbert Roque Versace and played a role in having him recognized by the Government of Puerto Rico as one of their own and his name inscribed in San Juan's "Rememberance Monument".

Thank you for sharing your information. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:06, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
