Looking For My Roots

Are you stuck in your Puerto Rican genealogy research?
Do you have a parish record with no information?
Has a surname disappeared from the civil registry?
Are you having trouble finding an ancestor who lived in Puerto Rico before 1900?

Please bring your most challenging research problem to the group discussion on Monday February 9th!

Researchers from various levels will exchange tips, tools, and strategies to overcome common obstacles.

Join our collaborative roundtable discussion where researchers share tips, tools, and strategies to help overcome common research challenges.

Special Presentation:
César Zapata-Lozada will show how municipal council records (Actas de Cabildo) can unlock genealogical evidence that parish and civil records miss—using the case of Ramón Ramírez de Arellano (San Germán, 1814). Based on his blog post “Las Actas de Cabildo como Fuente para la Investigación Genealógica.“

Date & Time: Monday, February 9, 2026 7:00 pm (EST) | 8:00 pm (Puerto Rico) | 4:00 pm (PST)
