Rosario. Born in san

Grew up in the Bronx. Now live in
Nevada. My father was Emilinao
Rosario Melendez. His father was
Celestino Del Rosario.
His mom was Maria Dolores (Abuela Lola). My father was from Cayey. Sopme of his
brothers and sisters: Juan,
Pablo,
Crispin, Marai,
Daisy,
Pepe, .... My dad died in 1978. My mom was Nicasia. Her dad was
Manuel (Manolo)
Coss. Actually his last name was in fact,
Sanchez de Cos. It was
her family (
Sanchez de Cos) and (
MUnoz de Oneca) who founded the
town of San
Lorenzo in 1814. They also built the church. A cousin of
ours, Don
Generoso Morales MUnoz wrote our family history and published it.
He studied at the University of
Maryland, in Spain, and in
Columbia, earning a PHd.
He died in 1956 at the age of 58. I have the book he wrote and the church in San
Lorenzocan help in getting a book, if this is your family. I'm sure we're all related. My family was
very prominent in the 1800s. Write back.
Y no comas muchos pasteles!
