Puerto Rico: Naranjito Church Records 1831 – 1936

Puerto Rico: Barranquitas Church Records 1860 to 1952
One of the interesting things I have discovered between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic is the constant repetition of town names. It is not a few but plenty of towns. While pulling up the map of Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, I discovered the town of La Vega which is a province and town in the…
