ELOY ALERS ALERS / AGUADA, PUERTO RICO
« on: Thursday 29 June 17 11:26 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
I am looking for further information on the parents of my great-grandfather Eloy Alers Alers. He was born in Aguada, PR circa 1885. I know his parents were Juaquin Alers Duprey (b. circa 1850 - d. circa 1920) and Antonia Alers Servera (Cervera) (b. circa 1851 - 1941) and they had 7-9 children.  This is where the trail goes cold. From family stories, we believe that either Eloy, his father or both, worked in Santo Domingo. I have a passport application for Eloy and his wife returning to Puerto Rico from DR that seems to confirm the stories. I do not know how to proceed as the files are most likely in Spanish records because the American records did not start until 1898/1899.
Can anyone tell me where to look from this point?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Kelger
