I am looking for further information on brothers, Armando and Ernesto Morales y Hodge and their family lineage. Their parents were Manuel Morales y Clara & Elisa Juana Hodge. Elisa was supposedly born in San Martin. Manuel may have been born in Spain. Born c1850 these brothers' families look like this: Armando Morales y Hodge bc: 1850 m: possibly Petra Cano in San Juan, Puerto Rico Possible children: Armando, Pedra, Miguel & Nana (Any info on the above group either confirming or denying the info presented would be greatly appreciated!) Ernesto Morales y Hodge ( First wife & Family) bc: 1850 m: c1881 to Anicasia Suarez y Correa Children: Victorina, Guillermo, Manuel G. , Ernesto Cecilio, Dolores Armando, and Evarista Francisca Ernesto Morales y Hodge (Second wife & Family) m: Maria Petronilla Rivera (Firado?) 21 December 1896 on the Isle of Culebra. She was born about 1883. Children: Petra Maria Elisa, Bernebe Ernesto, Foltunio Carlos, Primo Dimas, and Manuel Juan. Ernesto died 22 April 1916. According to family lore, Ernesto's brother, Armando, took care of at least Ernesto's youngest two children, Dolores Armando and Evarista Francisca, at least for a time after Ernesto's first wife, Anicasis died. If nothing else, can someone tell me if the "Juana" in Elisa Juana Hodge's name sounds like a "middle" name or a "surname"? Thanks! And good luck in your own searches! Cherre
