Estes todos são ligados das caras antigas. Para ver a entrada original ir a ancientfaces.com e procurarar os nomes.

Eu não pesquiso estas famílias e não tenho nenhuma informação da família. Eu sou pesaroso que eu não posso ser mais útil.

The Puente Family is my family. Narciso was my grandfather and I lived with Pauline (Paula), Florentina (Tina), and Teodora. My dad Narciso Jr. who is still alive today has told me many stories about almost all the siblings. Where did you obtain this photo from? We have a lot of old photos of the family as my parents still live in the last residence of the Puente Family. But, we do not have this photo. I recognize almost the faces too!

I just saw your comment (blogger failed to send me notification so I didn't realize until now) and am so pleased that you have found a new picture of your family!!! I would love to print some of the stories your father has told of his childhood (if they are family friendly! lol) I got the photo from AncientFaces.com. To find it, just go to the site and search the name. Okay, I'll do it, it's at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/349736

You can even contact the person who posted the photo and maybe find some long-lost family! Please let me know if your do as I would love to know.

All the best. I would write you separately but I am not a myspace member.

Thank you for commenting!

I just found this picture, my grand father is Epimenio, I do not know any of the Puente's because I was born out of wedlock. Many people know my family and I've been looking for information. I would love to hear those stories as well.

Kimberly, thank you so much for writing. I'm so happy you found some family here! I don't have any information on them myself. Have you tried going to the place where I got it, AncientFaces.com, yet? Just search the name. It will show the member who posted it. You can see their other submissions by clicking on their member name.
