Hello to all-
First of all I want to thank Art for invited me to the page. Is very interesting and warm. Like a told Art, my last name is Meléndez and I was looking for its origin it comes from Asturias. So I started searching information of Asturias and I end up here. Its interesting, because I learn something from the Meléndez...They are artists and in my Meléndez family we have something of artist. And I'm very proud to be a Meléndez.

Hola a todos-
Primero que nada quiero darle las gracias a Art, por invitarme a la pagina. Es muy interesante y acojedora. Como le habia mensionado a Art, mi apellido es Meléndez y estuve buscando el origen del mismo y encontre que su origen viene de Asturias. Es interesante, porque aprendi algo de los Meléndez...Son artistas y en mi familia Meléndez todos tenemos algo de artista. Estoy muy orgullosa de ser una Meléndez.

You have just gave me an assignment... I will make some research on this. My parents are divorced and I was raised in USA and came back to Puerto Rico in '87 and met my father's family. Both of my grandparents are dead. I can began with my aunts and ask them. I know that my grandpa's name was Ignacio Melendez, like my father, and my grandma's was Carmen Montalvo. I don't now their second surname. My mother's name is Esperanza Velázquez Estrada, my grandma, Antonia Estrada Colón and my grandpa, Lucas Velázquez Maysonet.
