Puerto Rico: My Ancestors and Their Descendants
       



The following "image" created by me is not a copy of the original certificate. It is a reproduction, as close as I can remember, of my paternal grandmother's baptismal entry in the "Registro de Bautismos" for Nuestra Se�ora del Carmen in Rio Grande.

The font used closely resembles the handwriting I saw when reviewing the books at the Archdiocese of San Juan. Please note that from this certificate I was able to get my great-grandparent's names as well as the names of my set of 2nd great-grandparents!

If you'd like to know what the following says, it is transcribed at the bottom...
