If anyone can help me find out any info please contact me: My grandfather is Lebanese and his name is Naby Katter and he met my grandmother Olga Velez in Ponce, Puerto Rico where he owned 3 jewelry shops. They had a child together out of wedlock in 1962 named Lolita Velez. As soon as she was born, he went back to Lebanon to take care of a "family emergency" and never returned.
My grandfather speaks fluent Spanish, English and Arabic and has a brother named Samir Katter. He might even still be in Puerto Rico and is in his 70's. If anyone has any info, please respond. My mom is an only child and she might have half siblings she doesn't know about.....
God Bless.
