Title: ELOY ALERS ALERS / AGUADA, PUERTO RICO
Post by: Kelger on Wednesday 28 June 17 16:16 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,
Kelly

My partners great grandfathers name is also Eloy Alers and great grandmother was Juana Caro. I believe that Eloy was from the Aguascalientes or Aguadilla area of Puerto Rico. Still doing research ourselves. Feel free to reach out.
