Lino Acevedo Ortiz New York
« on: Monday 08 July 13 21:46 BST (UK) »
I have an Hispanic side to my family that I'm trying to unravel.  Lino Acevedo Ortiz  was born in Puerto Rico on Sept 24 1917.  He was married on Dec 7 1941 in Manhattan, NY to a (*)(B. April 1919,  Aguada, Puerto Rico).  He was drafted into the "A" army (black section of the army)  in 1939 or 40. His name on the draft was possibly Lino O. Acevedo.  He served in Europe with a family story that he died in France in 1946.  I have snippets of information on her family but for starters I want to concentrate on him.   
Thanks for providing this wonderful opportunity to explore families.    :D

There is this record on ancestry, which if you don't have a sub can be accessed at some public libraries

U.S. National Cemetery Interment Control Forms, 1928-1962
Name - Lino O Acevedo
Died 8 Feb 1945
Cemetery - Long Island National Cemetery
Buried - 11 March 1949 at Farmingdale, New York

WW11 dead returned home from Follonica Italy

Date of birth 23 September 1916

There is a little bit of other info including service number, plot no etc.

The date of birth doesn't match with what you have and of course Lino O Acevedo may not be Lino Acevedo Ortis but this could be a match for the WW11 rcord you found.

The cemetery may be able to help with who ordered the plot and the return of his body which could tell you if this is your man.

Can you send me the service number please?  I believe other family members have that info and it may be a way of confirming this.

Thanks a million for your help in this   ;D

This all struck me as a little funny.  Here am I researching Connor & Duff in Westmeath, McKenzie in Dublin and Edinburgh and Clancy/Kane in Offaly.  Then out of the blue I write "I have an Hispanic side to my family that I'm trying to unravel".  Damn my relations are a weird and wonderful lot aren't they?  By the way, this Acevedo Ortiz is my wife's grandfather.   :P

The Puerto Rican side add some colour to the mix eh but also means we have to step out of our comfort zone for researching them'
