Good afternoon Luis!

Craig and Liz,

My grandmother's name is Gladys Myrta Bon Pastrana (81 years old). She was born is Barraza, Carolina, PR. Her father was Pantaleón Bon and her mother was Eduarda Bon Pastrana.

I'm not sure if Eduarda took Pantaleón's last name since this is not in our culture. My grand parents have only one photo of both of them, my great- grand mother sitting in a chair and my great-grand father standing next to her. Eduarda was taller (approx 6'+) than my great-grand father.

I just talked to her on the phone and mentioned me that she has three siblings: Ilda Bon Pastrana, Zaida Bon Pastrana and Luis Bon Pastrana. The last one she doesn't recall her whereabouts.

Hope this helps for future reference.

Have a good day!

Pedro

From what the family have mentioned Bon(n) is a German surname.

Hello! I am currently searching for information about a Bon from Sonora, Mexico. I know almost nothing about her except for a few ideas that my grandmother recalls about her. Her name or middle name is Beatris or Beatriz. She is connected somehow to my great-great-grandfather Herminio Lizarraga, possibly as his wife. Supposedly the reason that my family knows almost nothing about her is because she is of Chinese decent, and in Mexico there was a lot of discrimination against the Chinese during the time she lived. Any information you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello! I am also researching a Bon from Mexico. I know almost nothing about her except that her name or middle name is Beatris or Beatriz and she lived at some point in Sonora. I'd be interested in finding out anything you might know. Thanks!

They had 5 children: Iris, Angel Luis, Miguel Angel
Rafael and my mother Carmen. All of them are from
Carolina, PR. My grandfather used to have other
brothers but the only one that I know is Aunt Crucita (Tia Crucita)
and a little bit from the family Bon-Pastrana.
Thanks a lot for everything!

My father is Jose Armando Bon born in Carolina, P. R. The Pastranas are supposed to be cousins of the Bons. My grandmother, Josefa Morales Bon, who is almost 100 years old, was married to Teodoro Bon. She knows alot about the Bon name in Puerto Rico. She has told me about the German man named Bonn who arrived in P.R. and married a Puerto Rican in Carolina. Do you currently live in P.R.?

Hello, Luis!

I saw your message and thought I would respond because I am certain we have some family relation.

My grandfather was Teodoro Bon-Pizarro. He was born in Carolina to Luis Bon-Cuadrado and Beatriz Pizarro. My father's name is Jose Armando Bon. My mother is Haydee Diaz-Rosario. I have been told by my grandmother, Josefa Morales (who turned 98 last week!) that the Bon name in Puerto Rico arrived there because a German by the name of Bonn came and settled in P.R. As the story goes, he disappeared one day and was never seen again. I would be glad to share more info. I have gathered with you if you like. Also, look at Rosemarie Hernandez message in the bulletin board. She and I uncovered earlier this year that we are third cousins.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! Lizzie

Good Evening Iris...
From what I can gather Bon is a german name which moved from Von to Bon in order to escape some sort of persecusion. My grandparents Modesto and Julia Bon came from Spain to PR and I believe are brothers of your grandfather. I believe I know Angel Luis from Carolina. He and his sons are the only other Bon's I know. Hope this helps. I also know my father had 4 girls before he had me. I regretfully do not know their names. Hope this helps...
