Hello Marilyn,
I've been focusing my search on the Irizarry side of the family but I wanted to ask if there is anything you can share about "Marrero"?
My grandfather, Juan, was born in Mayaguez, PR in 1889. I am told that his last name was Maguerro. When he went to Hawaii, with his older sister in the early 1900's, they dropped his last name and used his middle name Angel. Therefore my Fathers last name and my maiden name are Angel. I have attempted to find information on Maguerro and have found nothing, but the name Marrero has popped up a few times. I am wondering if this might have been his last name. The family thought my Great grandmothers last name was Elizares until an uncle recently corrected it and let us know that it was Irizarry....go figure. So I am thinking that the same is possible with my grandfathers surname. Any thoughts, ideas or information? Thanks for any help you can provide.
