velez from Spain to Ecuador to USA
My family is from Spain and South America. The last 3 generations were in Ecuador- where the earliest Wenseslao Velez is buried. My uncle, Ariosto Velez was sent back to Spain to become a priest, but it didn't work out- he met a woman. He returned to Ecuador. Today he has two kids. They're living in NJ, he's in Ecuador again, my dad- Victor Velez passed away in 1997 at 72. Our grandmothers cousin was president of Ecuador and assasinated as "rumors" say, by the CIA. Before arriving to Ecuador, our greatgrand fathers parents were president of Colombia back in the days but we are not certain on his actual years served. If anyone has info on this and our lineage pls let us know. Oh, today we live in NYC, and I am in Florida. USA
I have a couple of cousins in Toledo which I keep in contact with.
