HI, My name is also Aquino from lares, puerto rico. I can give you names of my family members mostly all from lares, and maybe there is a common thread.The name Aquino is not a very common spanish name,so there has to be a connection somewhere.

Aquino from Cochin, Bangalore, Hubli in India

CoralEling35 — 2009-03-21 19:14:09Z

My grandmother,Lavinia Aquino married John Nicholas Curtis in Hubli or Cochin. They were a railway family. Monica Curtis lived in Vypeen, India. I have a letter dated 1902. She was my great grand mother. I am looking for anyone who know of them, or is a relative. The Curtis family was large and they married into the Oliver, Scolt and Fanderlinden families.I think my greatgrand mother was Monica Anna Oliveiro or Oliver.

Sorry it took so long to reply. For some reason I kept receiving an error message when trying to view your reply. I don't think we are from the same family - our relatives came from Cosenza, Italy. I will keep you in mind if I find anything closer to your family records.

Re: CALLING ALL AQUINOS WHO AM I ?

smurfyday — 2008-11-25 23:46:29Z

yes. Both my grandfather and his brother Nicholas came to the US from Italy. My grandfather, Joseph Paul Aquino, was about 3 years older than Nicholas. He was born March 24, 1898 in Castle Forte, Italy. So Nicholas would have been born in about 1901. My grandfather was about 4 years old and Nicholas @ 1 year old when they came to the US (in around 1902). They had a least two older sisters in Italy. My grandfather worked for the Sanitation Dept. in NY before going to Florida. He and my grandmother were married in Bronx, NY in 1916. They had 5 children together (Thomas- died at 2), Mary, Carmine (my dad whose name changed to Thomas), Theodora (aka Dorothy) and Camille. They separated but never divorced. Joseph then lived with his girlfriend, Dora, who was his common law wife in Florida. They had no children. He then died of a heart attack in June 1962 in the Bronx, NY. My grandmother also changed the last name Aquino to Arquina.

I don't believe so because he immigrated from Italy in the late 1800's/early 1900's. He did have a grandson named Micholas. Maybe if you give me some more information/names it would help.

Hi!
Was Nick Aquino born around 1901?

Re: CALLING ALL AQUINOS WHO AM I ?

thementzs — 2008-11-21 22:10:21Z

My grandfather, Anthony (Antonio) Altomare had a sister named Maria (Mary) Altomare who married a Nick Aquino. I know they lived in California. I don't know if he had a brother, Joseph but I know that Nick Aquino had a son, Joe, who owned a welding shop in Dearborn, Michigan. If so, we are related.

Re: filiberto franco family

pinacolada_lg — 2008-10-20 16:02:49Z

Hi,
According to my research Filiberto and Angelita had two children. Concepcion Franco born on 12/8/1914 died on 2/16/1916 in Tucson, Az and Filiberto Franco Jr. born 7/20/1916 died on 3/26/1917 in Tucson. Unless the family had more children, I can't find any evidence, there are no decendents for Angelita Escalante Franco. At first I couldn't Concepcion's death certificate. I later found it under Cohonita Franco in the Genealogy.Az.Gov records. Hope this helps.

Re: Aquino Search (Italy)

smurfyday — 2008-01-24 05:47:13Z

Hi! I just saw this post...My father is Thomas Aquino...his name changed to Thomas Arquina when he was young. He was actually born Carmine Aquino. His father was Joe Aquino and his mother was called CB. You are mentioning very familiar names. My grandfather, Joe, also had a brother Nicholas. I don't know much more. Joe came to Ellis Island as a baby. He was born in the late 1800's, He was married to my grandmother, they had four children together (My dad, Mary, Camille and Dorothy (AKA Theodora)) I know he then remarried. He died in the early 1960'.s (lived in Florida at the time but was waked in New York) Does any of this sound familiar? Do you have more info?

Re: Joe Aquino

smurfyday — 2008-01-24 05:29:33Z

Did your grandfather have a brother named Nicholas? My grandfather is also Joe Aquino. Is it the same Joe? My grandfather died in Florida and was waked in New York back in the early 60's.

Aquino and Aguirre relatives

pinacolada_lg — 2006-07-25 21:09:28Z

My grandmother, Ysabel Escalante Hernandez, was married to a Jesus Quintero before she married my grandfather. My dad had two half-siblings, brother Federico Quintero, who died at a young age and sister Juana Quintero who married a Trinidad Aguirre. Juana was born in Arizona and had children: Esperanza, Juan, Jesus, Ysabel, Francisca and Federico also born in Arizona. I believe Trinidad and Juana Aguirre moved to California. Esperanza Aguirre was born 8/21/1921, married someone by the last name of Aquino. She died in California on 9/24/83. I am looking for anyone who might know anything about our relatives. Please e-mail me at pinacolada_lg@hotmail.com if you can help.

Re: Searching for family from Yuta, Oaxca Mexico

2003-03-12 19:03:30Z

Thank you for your reply. My husbands father is Felipe Aquino-Hernandez born October 15, 1942 I believe. So that makes him about 61 years old. He is still living in Monterrey N.L. Mexico. He is the son of Clemente Aquino and Juana Hernandez. I thought he was born in Oaxaca, but not certain. He did marry my mother-in-law, Dominga Morales-Garcia (born 8/5/1941 in La Villa De Etla, Oaxaca. Daughter of Feliciano Morales-Perez and Felipa Garcia-Nava). What I do know is that he has brothers and sisters. Not sure of names. He went to live with my mother-in-laws family when he was about 14 or 15 yrs old. Together they had 6 sons and 5 daughter. All daughters have died. They married sometime in the 1970's....before their 7th or 8th child was born. I know that their is still family in Oaxaca.
I am aware that Aquino seems to be a popular name in the Oaxaca area. However, I am also aware that it is not a traditional Mexican name. I am also aware that my father-in-law was not always faithful in his relationship with my mother-in-law. This seems so strange to have so many matches with a few differances. My husband and I live in Wisconsin, USA. We are planning a summer vacation to vistit family in Mexico. Possibly even in Oaxaca. Please stay in touch so we can see if there is a connection here.

When the catholic missionaries began converting the western world, priests would often make natives give up their name and take that of a saint's. St. Thomas Aquinas is a direct descendant of the Italian Aquino family. Many, many mexican, south American, and philipinos took that name: Aquino.

Dear Joe, My grandmother was an Aquino and she was born in Cellera, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy. Aquino is a very common name in Calabria and probably in most of Italy. Since your ancestors were born in Calabria, you may want to join il circolo calabrese. This is a group of mostly Americans interested in geneaology and int the Calabrian heritage. If you are interested I will give you the site. I have found it very helpful and have learned a lot about my family and about Calabria. Ellen Fera

Don't know the name

aquino_8 — 2001-10-27 16:28:32Z

I am sorry to say that I do not know that name. I am also trying to located family with the last name Aquino. My father-in-law and family is from Oaxaca Mexico. I do not know any name past his fathers'. I am waiting for a translation of his birth certificate. I can tell you that Aquino has many origins; Mexico, Pureto Rico; Dom. Rep., Itily, Philip., etc. I myself did not realize how diverse the names orgin is. Good luck and if I can further help let me know.

Name

aquino_8 — 2001-10-27 16:28:32Z

Yes, I know that Aquino is not a Mexican name in origin. My husband grew up in Yuta where I am learning, is very common. It is also common in other small countries that were conqured by the Spanish. This is most likly why when you she someone with the name Aquino, you can not pint point the country in which they are from. My husband is of Mexican/Indian heritage. It is very interesting though. I am trying to trace back to who brought the name to Mexico. There the male is the first last name. And it is the male who is carring the name in my husbands family. However, I only have back to his grandfathers name. I hope when I have my father-in-lawa birth record translated that I will obtain more information. There in Yuta, Oaxaca, the older the record the more room for error.
