Lino Acevedo Ortiz New York

[shellyesq]

On www.fultonhistory.com, there is an article in the New York Age newspaper from 10 May 1941 that lists Lino O. Acevedo of New York City as being one of 300 "colored trainees" sent from Fort Dix to Fort Devons, Massachusetts for a year of training in the army.

I would think that all these records refer to the same person.  The dates are a bit confused but are repeated in one form or another.  The family info I had was a bit off, I assume the family believed what they wanted to believe or tales were passed down. 
The last bit about ^(*) is interesting. Is there anyway we can find out about her?  I don't know what P.R. records are available, if any.  We need to find confirmation for what we have or have our info debunked.  What I know is her mother was Juana Caro Quiñones  from Rincón, P.R.   Her father was Eloy Alers Alers from Aguada, P.R. He was born in about 1885 and died aged 33 (1918) in P.R.  She is still alive but is very ill in hospital at the moment.
I am very grateful to you both for some wonderful info on this.  Thank you very much

This would probably be her mother Juana Caro vda. de Alers in 1940  [vda. de = widow of]:

Just a guess, but this may be Juana Caro Quiñónez in 1910 with a previous husband, Bautista Perdido Sanz.

This is probably Lino in 1920.  It isn't clear how he is related to the Fuentes Ramos family, if at all.  Presumably Thomas Acebedo Y Guzmán is Lino´s widowed father and Josefa and Alicia are his sisters.  They are all described as guests.

Tomás Acevedo Guzmán in 1910 with his wife Eugenia Ortiz, two daughters and a sister-in-law, Rosa Nogueras.

First of all thank you all for this research.  It is wonderful. 
I have contacted family members and they have confirmed from snippets of memory the info given.
As for Erato's comment, I can confirm Thomas Acebedo Y Guzmán is Lino's father and he is not related to the Fuentes Ramos family.  However the Juana Caro Y Quiñonez De Perdido  mentioned in the 1910 census does not appear to be the correct family. 
One thing confuses me.  In the last post Erato said that Rosa Nogueras was a sister-in-law of  Tomás Acevedo Guzman.  How do we know this?  This name is not familiar to us.  It would be interesting to see where she came from.
Again many thanks for your help in this.

She is listed as a sister-in-law.

Name:    Rosa Nogueras
Relationship to Head of Household:    Cuñada [= s-in-law]

Puerto Rico was enumerated in the US census from 1910 on and these enumerations can be seen at FamilySearch.  Before 1910, Puerto Rico was not included.  It seems there was a separate Puerto Rico census in 1899, and some earlier ones, but I couldn't find them transcribed on-line; they can be ordered on microfilm.  I didn't look very hard so it might be possible to find more census records - Eloy Alers, for example.

FamilySearch also has a few church BMD records for Puerto Rico, but they are too early to easily link up to the known people in the Acevedo and Caro families.
