Hola Juan,
Look to me like we have something in common after all, our families both come from Barrio Pozas,San Sebastian. After reviewing the names in your list I noticed that those names match to the same names I have done some research in the past and I have in my listing. At this point I see an indirect connection with your ascenstors. I also noticed that you have the family name "Nieves" in your ascenstors. Here is where we have an indirect connection at this time. Several of my ascenstors were married to Nieves woman from San Sebastian and later moved to live somewhere else in the Island .Nieves families from my father side include: Nieves Arvelo/ Nieves Mendez/ Perez Nieves.Sorry to say that I have not done any serious research on this side of the family. I know for a fact that the Albelo from Barrio Pozas were all close relatives of my ascenstors as well as menbers of the family living in the towns of San Sebastian, Mayaguez and Utuado. I also know tha the Nieves and Arvelo in San Sebastian were fist cousins. Let me give you my thanks for your help and the info you provided before I proceed to give you the information I got. Thank- You, Juan.
