Hi, my name is Joe Eureste. I live in Defiance, Ohio. My parents are Irenio and Amelia Eureste (deceased 1991). I am 50 yrs. old. I have three brothers; Richard, Steve and Lee. My sister's name is Irene. I attended a Eureste reunion in 1990 in Texas, and someone had the Eureste Family Tree that had many of the main Eureste family members started. As of today, we are all older and have branched out farther from the tree. I feel as a result we are all losing touch with our roots. It would be nice to have someone from Texas coordinate a Eureste Family get-to-gether so that we might all get to know each other again. I am an At-Large Councilman for the City of Defiance and had previously served two terms as a member of our local school district. I am presently running for Defiance County Commissioner. Are there any other Eureste's involved in politics? Please e-mail me at
