I had mentioned to you in a previous email that you and I are a DNA match on FTDNA and you had mentioned that you wanted to join my yahoo group (PRGENEALOGY-NORTHWEST). However, I did not see your response. I have just viewed the youtube video and I can tell you that Eugenio Quinones-Levy's son, Manuel de Jesus Quinones-Sotomayor was married to Maria Victoria Velez-Santiago, who is my 1st cousin, 2x removed. I have other Levy (who are related) that connect to my Gonzalez-Sotomayor Medina line as well. I am going to post the youtube link in my yahoo group forum :) I think you will find a lot of oousins there. My yahoo group is <br />https://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRGENEALOGY-NW.

My grandfather's last name is Aguilar and according to my cousin, they used to own most of the land or all of the land in the town of Kawit.
