classmates's blogs

  • Hector Porrata
Hector's family heritage was really interesting. I was amazed how his last name "Porrata" was only purchased by the poor. Both last names were separated and then came up to be a single lastname. It also was very interesting how the last name Porrata was bought.



  • Gabriela Adams
It was really interesting how Gabriela's ancestors came from France and later settled in Vieques. After they moved to Vieques they decided to move here to Puerto Rico. Her ancestors family were really successful here in Puerto Rico since they owned a sugar cane plantation.



  • Christian Virella
On Christian's blog the Italians immigration history really amazed me. Unfortunately they were not lucky at all, because through their migration process they obtained certain diseases. Once they stopped to be checked and supervise to see if they were to be good laborers in the U.S. in the future, those with diseases or physical illnesses were reported back to their homeland.



  • Paullete Arquer
Paullete's family heritage was kind of interesting. Her family ancestors came from interesting places in Europe. Her maternal ancestors came from more places than her paternal ancestors. Today most of her family members are currently living in Cataluña Island. Like every single story i read her family did not encountered any problem with the US immigration law system because Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States.
