Son to Barbara Washington. My mom's Last Name use to be Velez, but she got married later. My dad's full name could be also Ralph Lopez Velez My brother of my mom and dad, is Francisco Rafael Velez. Me, my bro and mom all live in the seattle, washington area. The last time I saw my dad was in 1986, only have a few memories of meeting him. Im not really sure how to find him. My mom doesnt know too much info. I dont even know how to make a good search, or even write a good message here, except to list some info that would really show that im his son! :-D My mom told me that my dad has all or most of his family in puerto rico, Bayamon I believe. If anyone knows this cool guy, tell him I dont hate him, I love him and would love to get to know him and meet him someday. Hopefully he is still alive. I think hes 57 or 58. I dont speak any spanish, but he did. :p I love you dad, if you aint on this earth, you better be in heaven :D Anyway, thanks for any and all info/ replies to this thread. [email protected] is my email address.
