Norma.....I have no exact answer in regards to Valetin Fontanez, however, the name doesn't show on any of the census I have. I will list the names on the Census that I now have.

1920 Census
Municipio: San Juan
Barrio: Ballaja

Ceferino Oquendo 58 married to Rita Feliciano Y Umpierre de Oquendo 51. Unsure if her last name is Felician or Feliciano. In 1920 census it is spelled Feliciano. In 1910 census it is spelled Rita Felician Y Umpierre.

Their children and ages in 1920:

Angelina (unsure of first name) Oquendo Y Feliciano de Andino 25, Maria 22, Guillermo 27, Rafael 19, and Mercedes Andino Y Oquendo 4. Mercedes is listed as Nieta. Perfecto Lugo is listed as ahijado. In 1910 the kids are listed as last name Oquendo Y Felician.

Next on the Census is: (lived next to each other??)

Son of Ceferino and Rita: Valentin Oquendo Y Felician(o) 34. (the O is missing on form). His wife: Hipolita Rodriguez de Oquendo 32.

Their Children:
Miguel Oquendo y Rodriguez 13, Ines 7, Lydia 5, Cerafina 3, Miguel Rafael 8 mo old.


1910 Census
Municipio: Rio Piedras
Barrio: Pueblo

I was told this may be Ceferino's brother married to Hipolita's sister. Unsure.

Ignaciao Oquendo Y Nabarra 42 (hard to read the handwriting/unsure if Nabarra is the correct spelling). Married to Magdalena Rodriguez Hernandez 23.

Their Children in 1910: Norberto Oquendo Y Rodriguez 10, Agustine 8, Victoria 6, Juana 4. In the same household there were two more names. Juan Rodriguez Y Galarza 47 listed as suegro and Fidela Oquendo Y Miranda 43 listed as suegra. The "Y" may be a mispell on census takers part?

On April 2, 1924 Miguel Oquendo is a listed passenger on the SS San Juan that arrived to Port of New York, NY on April 7, 1924. His birthday is listed as Dec 26, 1906 and states his age at 17 years of age. His destination address was listed as: 1950 Second Ave, NYC. He had 3 children with Muriel Ingram in New York. The childrens names are: Sandy, Patrick, and Edward Oquendo. My father is Patrick. If anyone has any information, please contact me.

Thank You,
Lora Ann Oquendo

I believe we are cousins. My mother is the daughter of Feliciano. She would like to find out if she has any half brothers and sisters. She knows that her father moved to California and passed away around 1958. Please contact me at mercelenid.odiott@gmail.com.
Thank You
