Iturregui Elias in NYC
I'm a native Peruvian-from Callao/Lima, emigrated in 1972 with my nuclear family to the D.C. Metropolitan area.I live in NY now, with my own family, for the past 14 years and interested in finding other Iturregui Elias family in area. Reading the blogs I've noticed lots of Elias' from all over the world and some from Peru seem to have a relation to Japanese/Chinese heritage in that the surname was changed from Lee or Lo to Elias a few generations ago.This story seems very similar to one that my mother told me a few years back.Any more information on that?I'm also interested to find out about the Iturregui lineage that may have come from Italy to Peru in the early 1900's.
