Juana Garcia Velez - Maya Guez PR
My Grandmother JUANA GARCIA VELEZ (GARCIA) was born 18 Feb 1892, in Maya Guez. She died at the age of 92 on 12 April 1984, in Rio Piedras.
My Grandmother was first married to SIXTO PAGÁN, and she bore children. You can read of those children in my previous post. After the subsequent death of Sr. Pagán, she married my Grandfather ANGEL GARCIA SANABRIA (AKA: FAUSTINO GARCIA SANABRIA). I was also told that they may have been cousins.
On her death certificate it states that her Father was named FLOR GARCIA. Her mother was named MARIA VELEZ. My Aunt says her Grandfathers name was FLORENTINO, however, the certificate says FLOR?? Is this common practice to shorten a name for reasons unknown?
The family first lived in San German and Maya Guez, and eventually found there way to the City of San Juan. My Aunt, to this day, lives in the home she originally purchased. I was told that there was vast acreage that the home occupied, however, people over the years built home with and without her permission on the property. I am wondering if anyone in Puerto Rico could help me find the original land markings, and who to contact with regard to the existing property.
**Other possible names connected with my Grandmother:
Catalina Garcia, married to Jose Ramos. (Possible sister)
Victor? (Possible brother)
Jose Santiago Garcia (Possible brother)
**She and my Grandfather also raised his brothers children:
Nellie and Pedro Perez
There Parents were Amelia and Pedro Perez??
If you have any new information or connections, PLEASE PLEASE respond.
Thank you in advance.
Mayra
