This may sound strange but i have been looking for you. You posted something on prroots.com about your grandfather Arturo Gotay in 2004 and I just read it. I think we are related! My grandfather is Alberto Gotay, brother to Arturo Gotay and Milagros Gotay. Story when I was younger was that Arturo and Milagros just disappeared and no one knew how to contact them. Alberto married Florence LaRocco and had 2 children, John Gotay and Margaret Gotay. They each had 1 child, John Gotay Jr. and myself. Would love to know more about the family - all I know is my mom's side.

I am the grandaughter of Alberto Gotay. My mom has the same picture that you are talking about. I was told as a child that Arturo and Milagros just disappeared and didnt leave any information on how to contact them.

I am a Gotay through marraige. I married John Arthur Gotay only son of Juan Alberto Gotay and Florence LaRocco, brother of Margaret Sofia Gotay.
On a trip to Puerto Rico many ,many years ago we caught up with Gladys, wife of Arturo Gotay, and her then 10 children. How clearly I recall Elena, Paul, Hannah just to name a few..
I have a 30 year old son, John Ariel Gotay who is Margaret Gotays nephew, Magdas' cousin. A shame the family lost contact with each other.. How wonderful it would be to track you all down..And a possible get together..
