We are researching my husbands genealogy for an acestors with the surname VERA.
We know that Maria A. Vera was from the Canary Islands, Spain and married Agustin Del Toro y Alemanda, also from the Canary Islands, Spain. Their son Agustin Del Toro y Vera, was born 25 Feb 1865 in Santa Brigida, Las Palmas de la Gran Canaria, Carary Island, Spain but was later married and died in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. He married Ramona Antunia y Suarez about 1891 in Argentina and had 12 children there. Their 5th son was Angel Del Toro y Antunia born 2 Aug 1901, was my mother-in-laws father. Angel married Antonia Artale of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina an they had 4 children, one of which is my mother-in-law, Esla Amalia Del Toro. Elsa married Juan Andres Pilon of Rosario, and they had 5 children. Their oldest two were born in Rosario before they immigrated to the United States in the 60’s and 70’s, where the other 3 were born. The oldest was Gustavo Osvaldo Pilon, my husband. We met in California in 1982 and were married in 1986, we have 3 children and live in Idaho, USA.
If any of this history sounds familiar, or if you know more about the Vera surname, I would really appreciate your reply. Thank you in advance for any insight you can help with.
