Wanda,
My father Francisco Monserrate Perales was born in Puerto Rico in 1905 to a Spaniard
who apparently abandoned the family while my father was a child. My father was raised by his mother Emilia. My dad came to New York in 1932 and used only Perales. He passed away a number of years ago and never spoke about his father. It may be that Monserrate Perales was his mothers name. My Dad grew up in Guayama so it is also possible that Monserrate Perales came to Guayama around 1900.This only deepens the Monserrate Perales mystery.
