Francisco A. Itzaina (View posts)

I learned of the Itzaina Board with enthusiasm. Some time ago I tried to contact some Itzaina's in the US, but I had no luck. My greatgrandparents, Michael Itzaina and his wife, came to Uruguay, Latin America, from Europe, in the late 1800's, I believe. There is a fairly large branch of the Itzaina family living in Uruguay.

I am 55 years old and currently live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am in business management. Took an MBA from Michigan State University in 1973 and have worked in the US and in Brazil ever since, running the subsidiaries of some American, British and Canadian global companies. I am married to a Brazilian and have four children. One of them, Carolina, competed in the Atlantic Olympics in 10 meter diving representing Uruguay but did not make the finals. So you may have come across her name then if you follow this sport.

My brothers Roberto (52) and Fernando (35) are also in business management. Roberto still lives in Montevideo, Uruguay with his wife and two children, but commutes every week to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he runs a printing company. Fernando is a VP Finance for a large Argentinian laboratory and lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with his wife and 2 children.

My father, Francisco Alberto Itzaina, is 82, and a widower. He is the last survivor of five brothers and one sister, four of which had nine children in all (all alive at present), among which my brothers and I.

If anyone can give me an idea of how the Itzaina family spread throughout the US (best would be a family tree), I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks a lot and it is good to contact some distant relatives.
