Surnames: Zabala, Soto
My grandfather was Pedro Zabala (legally married to Antolina Soto who is said to be of Taino ancestry). I don’t know when or where in PR he was born, only that he died in 1961 (in PR). All I know is that my grandfather had many "wives" and therefore many children. With Antolina he had: Enrique (my father), Jorge (my father’s twin), Paulino, Pedro, and Francisca.

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you sooner. I recall my father mentioning a Martin Zabala but I don’t know what is the relationship (grandfather, uncle, nephew, cousin, etc.). Following is the information I have found on my grandfather’s side:

Pedro Zabala Rivera was born circa 1891 in Puerto Rico. He married Antolina Sanchez Soto who according to my father was Taino (she’s also listed as just Antolina Soto in another census). Pedro and Antolina bore the following children: Paulino, Francisca, Pedro Alejandro, Herminio, Enrique (my father), Jorge Eliseo, and Felicita (I believe Felicita had a different mother). This info can be found in the 1920 (pg. 13A, Pugnado Adentro) and 1930 (pg. 5A, Almirante Sud) census in Vega Baja. In the 1930’s census I also found my g-grandmother Jacinta Rivera. My g-grandfather is not recorded in the census. I don’t know if this is because he had already passed on by the 1930’s census or if his name was omitted, in error, because he was not there when the census representative was gathering information. Also listed on this census is Antolina’s mother, Antolina Soto (apparently mother and daughter had the same name), and Jose and Consuelo Zabala (Pedro’s siblings).

Can you find out from your husband if he remembers anything about his family? Even something that may seem insignificant to him, may actually determine whether or not we’re related.
