Where can I find out more about the founder of the town, Teodoro Jacome Pagan? I want to know if Jacome was his last name or middle name. Have read that he was from a Chueta background on Wikipedia and am trying to verify that information. Can you help?
I have the same question Ruth has, my father waS born 1894 Juan Pagan Jusino from Lajas, always said there was a picture of our ancestors in the Town Hall, I never paid attention to it, till I understood we are of Sephardi origin, would like to find out his birth and death dates.
