Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
I was born in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. My father died two years ago. His name was Ricardo Cepeda. His mother's name was Clementina Cepeda and father's name was Rufino Cepeda. If you are in St. Croix, let me know if these names help. Thank you.

Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
Thank you for sending me the info, however none of those names seem familiar. My Dad's father was Celestino Cepeda and his mother's name was Dorothea Cepeda. Perhaps we are related some how. Please let me know if you have any more information. My Dad, Austin, was born in St. Croix on August 29th, 1948. Please write when you get more info. Thank you so much.

Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
Lissette,
My father had 12 brothers and sisters: Carlota Cepeda - first born Daniel Cepeda - second Celestino Cepeda - third Juana Cepeda - fourth Balentina Cepeda - fifth Crucito Cepeda -7th (died after 14 days or 14 months, I believe, of intestinal infection) Guillermo Cepeda - 8th Eufemio Cepeda - 9th Basilio Cepeda - 10th Blacino Cepeda - 11th Catalina Cepeda - 12th
They were all born in Vieques, Puerto Rico and came to the St. Croix and very young ages.
I have a set of twin cousins that moved to the Virgin Islands, daughters of Catalina Cepeda (deceased) that have done extensive research in genealogy and I am sure can answer your questions. They even planned a first Cepeda family reunion in 1998. I live in Florida and was unable to attend.
You can write to: Carmen C. Heywood P.O. Box 26493 St. Croix, VI 00824
OR
C. Heywood P.O. Box 4809, Kingshill St. Croix, VI
As soon as I find out their phone numbers later today, I will e-mail you again.
Good luck and please let me know if this was any help.

I am Natasha Cepeda the daughter of Basilio Cepeda. My mother is Rosemarie Cepeda who died in 1977. I'm not sure who died first but I've been told that my mother was Basilio's only child.

Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
Dear Natasha,
Basilio Cepeda, my uncle, (my father's brother), died first... a a heart attack. He did not die right away. He was in the hospital. I visited him there before he died. I'm sorry to say, your mother died a month later in a car accident. I had heard she was pregnant, but don't know for sure. I believe you are right, Rosamarie was his only child.
Your mother lived in St. Thomas. She used to come over to St. Croix to visit. She had Basilio's features. Rosemarie looked just like her father, but your mother was beautiful and always had a smile on her face and very sweet. I am sure you are like her. Do you have a brother or sister? I thought she had two children.
Unfortunately, this is all I know. I believe I have Basilio's date of birth somewhere. If you are interested, I will look for it this week and send it to you. I hope I was able to give you new information. I will call my older sister and ask her more about Rosemarie. She might know more, and I will e-mail you back.
Natasha, I e-mailed someone else about Augustine Cepeda. Do you know her? I am wondering if she found out anything else from the address I gave her of other relatives in St. Croix who has the family history.
Are you still in St. Thomas? I am in Florida. You take care and keep in touch.

Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
Hello!! Thanks for all the info about my grandfather. It's good to know i'm not the only Cepeda in the world! That's really how I felt growing up. I was raised by my grandma and my mom's brothers and sisters so I have alot of knowledge about my mother. She actually died of heart failure however she was pregnant at the time, so you're right about that. Also, she was in a terrible car accident prior to her death but thankfully she survived it. I really want to e-mail you so we can share information. Thanks again. Hit me up at tashakyat@aol.comtashakyat@aol.cm

Re: family of Augustine D cepeda Of Virgin Islands
Oh-my God!!!! You have no idea how happy I am to have found this on this website. My sister put my name and my Dad's name in this thing and so I didn't know too much about it, but I have this deep desire to find all of my Dad's relatives or even one. I don't know not one of his relatives. Anyway, we are related! I would like to hear from you, but since I don't know what I am doing and I found all of this by some God-sent chance, I was hoping you could e-mail me at the following address: twodieisgain121@hotmail.com. Thank you so much.
