Hello, I have just began my search on my family name. Izquierdo is from my father's side of the family who come from Barcelona, Spain. My grandfather's name Ricardo Izquierdo (there is some else on the end but I am still trying to find this out), My father's name is Ricardo (Jose Jamon-these are his church names) Pedreor(I might have the spelling a bit off) Izquierdo was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1937.
His mother's name is Maria Pedreor Belazgetii (I might have the spelling a bit off on these names but they are pretty close)was born in Murcia,Spain between 1918-1925. She moved to Portugal after the 2nd World
War. She had a daughter by the name Mercendes by my grandfather Ricardo.
My grandmother left by grandfather and took Mercendes with her to Portugal but left my
father Ricardo with my grandfather. My father found his mother by running into a cousin in the Spainish army which he did not know. They put 2 and 2 together and my father
found his mother. He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to live with his mother and sister. Father met by mother Graciete de Jesus Ferro and married her on May 4, 1964. My parents
moved to South Africa in 1965. They had 3 daugthers Maria Isabel, Carla Cristina and
Sandra Alexander. Isabel was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1965. I was born in
Vanderbijipark, South Africa 1966 and Sandra was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 1972. We moved to Toronto,Canada in August 16,1979. My mother and sisters still live in the greater Toronto area (as of this posting July,1999).
But my father, Ricardo left us on March 16,1983 never to be heard from since. He is a wanderer and has a fascination with precious stones. He said he was going to Peru but I simply do not know. I miss him
so much! All I want to do is find him and put my arms around him and tell him that I have always loved him. If you could help me in my search I would be internally grateful.
