Wanda,

I hope you are still posting on this website. As I wrote in a reply on another string, some of the names you list are known to me.

Dennis Cerro was my uncle. His father (my grandfather) was born Gregorio Enrique Cerro y Alberde in Santander, Spain. I have a copy of my grandfather's Spanish birth certificate.

I had a great-aunt (grand-aunt? I never am sure which is correct.) named Louisa.

Henry Cerro is my father. Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year.

Michaela Alberde was my great-grandmother.

My great-great-grandfather was Jose Maria Alverde. Note the different spellings of Alberde and Alverde. I don't know why the names are spelled differently.

I have distant relatives named Monte. As a matter of fact, my uncle Dennis used to say that I bore a resemblance to Peter Monte.

Please contact me if you get this post. You can reach me at rrc.1943@yahoo.com.

Respectfully,

Russell Cerro
Norfolk, VA
