Vamos Descubre Tu Historia

04/28/2026

I’m excited to share a project that is both professionally meaningful and personally close to my heart.

I recently collaborated with Jack Reuter at Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) Springfield Technical Community College Library to develop a website designed to help students begin exploring their ancestry:
https://sites.google.com/stcc.edu/exploring-our-ancestry/home

In a region like Springfield/Holyoke, MA—home to one of the largest Latino populations outside of NYC—this work carries deep significance. It’s about access, identity, and creating pathways for individuals to connect with their roots and family history.

For many who have felt “ni de aquí ni de allá,” this kind of resource can be a powerful starting point.

In many ways, this work reflects a simple message:
You belong. Your story matters. And your roots are waiting.

I’d appreciate you taking a look and sharing your thoughts.

Every family has a story waiting to be rediscovered.⁠
⁠
Helping my clients reconnect with their roots is more than research — it’s about restoring identity, preserving legacy, and honoring the generations who came before us. 🌳⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever wondered about your ancestors, your origins, or the history behind your last name, I’d love to help you begin that journey.⁠
⁠
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to learn about your goals and explore how I can support your family history research.⁠
⁠
Your roots are your power — let’s uncover them together.⁠

📚 Genealogy Resource Spotlight

If you’re researching Puerto Rican genealogy, one publication I highly recommend is HEREDITAS, the magazine of the Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Genealogía.

Each issue contains excellent genealogical articles, historical research, and valuable sources that can help deepen your understanding of families and history in Puerto Rico.

You can purchase past editions through the “Quiosco” on their website:
🌐 www.genealogiapr.com

✨ And if you become a member of the Sociedad Puertorriqueña de Genealogía, you’ll receive the magazine as new issues are published.

Resources like this are incredibly helpful for anyone researching Puerto Rican ancestry.

Have you read any articles from Hereditas?

✨ Speaking Engagement Testimonials ✨

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with organizations, genealogy groups, and community audiences about the power of discovering our family history.

Genealogy is more than names and dates — it’s about identity, connection, and healing. When we uncover the stories of our ancestors, we begin to understand our own place in history.

I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to share this work and for the wonderful feedback from those who have attended my talks.

Here are a few reflections from past speaking engagements. 🌿

If your organization is interested in a 2026 program on genealogy, heritage, and family history, I’d love to connect.

📚 Genealogy Book Recommendation

Many people have asked me about this book, so I wanted to share it here for anyone researching Puerto Rican genealogy.

“Antonio de los Reyes Correa: El Capitán – Breve Estudio Biográfico y Genealógico” by Dennis de Jesús Rodríguez explores the life and genealogy of Antonio de los Reyes Correa, a key historical figure in Puerto Rico.

If you're interested in Puerto Rican history, colonial-era families, or deeper genealogical research, this may be a valuable addition to your library.

📖 To inquire about available copies, you can contact the author directly:

Have you read this book or used it in your research? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

“Every woman who heals herself heals all the women who came before her — and all the women who come after her.”

Healing is not selfish.
It is generational work.

When a woman breaks patterns, sets boundaries, seeks truth, or chooses growth, she doesn’t just change her own life — she shifts the legacy of her family line.

In genealogy, I see it all the time. Generations of resilience. Silence. Strength. Survival.

Healing honors them. And it frees those who follow.

Your growth matters more than you realize. 🌿✨

Meet my 3rd great-grandmother, Juana Lugo Collado.

She was born around 1865 in San Germán, Puerto Rico, and passed away on 13 June 1957 in Cabo Rojo.

When I first discovered this photograph, I can’t even describe the excitement I felt. Finding images of our ancestors from the 1800s is rare—but what made it even more special was being able to show it to my grandfather.

He had never seen a picture of his great-grandmother before. Being able to place her face in his hands and say “This is her” is one of those genealogy moments that makes all the research worth it.

Those are the moments I live for.

If your family is from Cabo Rojo or San Germán, take a look at her family tree. You might find a connection or a clue for your own research.
