My family history i only found up to my great grandparents. My great grandmother whose name was Engracia Maria Rodriguez Ortiz she was a seamstress. She worked from home and took care of three kids. My great grandpa whose name was Carlos Benvenutti Espada, used to work in the Central Azucarera de Aguirre in Salinas. From there my grandmother whose name is :Marianela Benvenutti Rodriguez married my grandpa Brigido L. Torres Altoro. All my last names date to the southern part or southeastern part of the island which date all the way to the Spanish invaders exept for Benvenutti which is from italian decencent. from my paternal side both of my Dads last names are spanish which are Baerga and Caraballo. Run back to Spain also my Great Grandmother from my dads side was named Antonia Baerga and my Great Grandpa was Rafael Caraballo. My Grandparents are Anilda Caraballo and Harry Baerga.
These information is quite chocking since I dint now all my familly from both sides are SPANISH! I never expected that to be that way and lets not forget also my small ITALIAN heritage (maybe thats why I love pastas and pizzas). This interested me in traveling someday to Spain and Italy! And maybe research some more about my family's history. This makes me wonder more how if my great grandpa is from spanish decent and last names he was colored and worked as a sugar cane worker. This blog assigment made me wonder more and more of my history !
