Hi: I used to work at the Encarnacion Valdes Library at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico at Ponce. One of my colleagues was Cirilo Toro. He still works there. You might want to call the library and ask for him. Tell him Roberto Colon Ocasio gave you the info. Good luck. Roberto

Re: Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

ngreen11_1 — 2012-04-19 00:25:22Z

Thank you
I know when they came to the states they dropped all second last names so the reason why I have been having problems getting hints

Re: Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

mariamelendez0931 — 2012-04-18 19:42:23Z

Just a hint, when you look pay attention to last name Toro and Del Toro. Then go by her second first name. When she got married , maybe starting using his last name, instead. If by any chance you find a family member, go after that one. Sometimes they used to live together before. Like if she was born in 1916, the first time in the census will be 1920 at 4 y/o. So she might have been wit her family or family member. There is nothing in the 1920 census?

Re: Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

ngreen11_1 — 2012-04-18 03:19:20Z

Thank you - she would have been born around 1916 but I am having no luck in any of the rolls

Re: Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

mariamelendez0931 — 2012-04-18 01:48:51Z

Hi,
I don't think I've seen that name while researching. But I'm looking for older generations. If you have an idea of where she lived, maybe the 1940 census can help. If I see the name around, I'll let you know. Thanks.

Re: looking for ancestors from Ramon Toro lineage

ngreen11_1 — 2012-04-17 02:55:33Z

Is Puerto Rico a starting point - Mother Concepcion Toro was born about 1916- having difficulty finding any relatives

Re: Any Toro s from Puerto Rico

ngreen11_1 — 2012-04-17 02:53:53Z

Hi Mother's name was Concepcion Toro - born around 1916 married Celestino Morales Y Souchet. Have plenty of records on Souchet side but none on Toro - wondering if we have it wrong de toro or del toro -any luck on your end

Re: Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

ngreen11_1 — 2012-04-17 02:50:27Z

Hi I have a mother Concepcion Toro would have been born around 1916 -1920 married Celestino Morales Y Souchet - having trouble locating any records

Toro or Del Toro family members in Barrio Pedernales in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

mariamelendez0931 — 2012-04-15 17:03:01Z

I found out that my family members use the last name Toro or Del Toro without following the parents name. So I find Toro; a child of Del Toro; a Del Toro child of Toro; a sister Toro with a brother Del Toro. So it can become very confusing specially when you find a whole family(parents and children) listed is the census in two different districts. If anyone has deciphered the family of Antonio J Toro Camacho aka Jovino Toro Camacho; A Jovino Del Toro Camacho and an Antonio Toro Camacho of the same barrio, but not related, please let me know

Re: Any Toro s from Puerto Rico

mariamelendez0931 — 2012-04-15 16:49:54Z

There are a lot of Toro or Del Toro in Puerto Rico. There was a large family in Cabo Rojo, and those are related to my mother. Just do a search with your father or mother, add Ponce as residence. If they were alive for the 1910,1920 or 1930 they will show in the census. Then look at the corresponding page (image) of the census, and you usually find the family residing together. From there you can get a lot of information.

I'm interested in Jose Maria Toro was he from Ponce, I had a Uncle named as such born 1885.

ITALIAN SURNAME TORO/ESPOSITO

schiffo — 2011-12-27 17:32:47Z

Looking for information on my great great grandparents. Alfonso Toro's parents. Alfonso was from Ravello (Amalfi Coast) born in 1880 arrived in NY in 1892. Settled in New Haven, CT. Traveled with and was sponsored by Nicola Esposito who settled in New Haven, CT as well.

Re: Giovanni Toro

schiffo — 2011-12-27 17:19:32Z

It is so rare I see italian Toro's. My surname is Toro, and my family as far as I can tell comes from Ravello (Amalfi Coast). However, my great grandfather, Alfonso Toro is the last I can trace back. The trail goes dead. I don't know if we have any info that can mutually benefit each other.

Re: Familia Toro de Llanos Tuna-Cabo Rojo

mraminini — 2011-07-19 02:40:15Z

Long time since this post was made, but if any of you see this message, I am interested in knowing if you have seen any "Monserrate ("Chate") Toro" in your trees. She was my grandfather's mother and I suspect she was originally from Llanos Tuna. I am not sure when was she born, but I think she died around the 1940s. She married a Francisco Ramírez, and lived in La Pileta (downtown Cabo Rojo) during her last years.

Francisco [possibly Toro] Montanez (1904 - 1993) San Juan >> NY

montaniz — 2011-05-23 03:40:30Z

According to a 1930 census record, my grandfather Francisco is living in San Juan with the surname Montanez Toro. This is the only time I've seen a record with two family names for him:

US Census 1930 for Mercado, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Montanez y Rosario, Sinforoso M Head 59 Born Puerto Rico
Montanez [possibly Toro], Francisco M Son 25 Born PR

I believe Sinforoso is the adoptive father of my grandfather, married to Venancia Oquendo. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with information on this family.

US Census 1920 for Puerta De Tierre, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Montanez y Rosario, Sinforoso M Head 45 Born Puerto Rico
Oquendo De Montanez, Venancia F Wife 28 Born PR
Montanez, Francisco M Foster son 15 Born PR

Thanks!

My Grandfather was born in Puerto Rico. His name was Robert Toro. His mothers last name was Seda. They were from Caborojo. He was born in 1911. He had 3 brothers and a sister. I was looking for information on my great grandparents or any family that still may be in P.R. I do not speak spanish as my father never taught us. My father and his siblings were born in NYC.

Re: Any Toro s from Puerto Rico

torosesm02 — 2011-02-16 02:34:15Z

Hi Jessica when looking for ancestors is best if you tell us if your father's name was Ricardo toro ----- his mothers name which ever it is and the year he was born. If you know his father's name followed by the year he was born . try to give as much information as you can. In puerto Rico people used their fathers name also their mothers last name.Good luck.

nygirlie160 — 2011-02-12 18:54:57Z

Eugenio Toro

Looking for parental information on Eugenio Toro married to Bertila Seda Y Crespo. Eugenio was born Nov 5 1885 in San German. Every official record I have of him just has the name Eugenio Toro, which I find odd of Spanish people using only one name and not both of their parents' name. Any info on him would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for contacting me as my mother is a Toro. Her grandfather was Giuseppe Toro (1860-1928) from Baselice, Italy. He came to the US in 1903 and eventually settled in Philadelphia. Looking at various records, Giuseppe was visited by several relatives who ended up in Columbus.

Elvira's father was also named Giuseppe Toro (born 1890). I can send more info including a powerpoint presentation that shows the Toro's back to the 1700. Send me your direct email or contact me at Kevin_Gallagher@amat.com
