I'm Leocadio Orlandi Lebron
Father of Josefina (Filin/Mamilla)
Leocadio Orlandi Lebron born to Francisco Maria Orlandi and Pilar Lebron de Orlandi. Leocadio married Baldomera Questell (Kestel prounced in French ) and together had 8 children 7 girls 1 boy: Carmen, Pilar, Josefina, Anunciacion, Maria, Luisa, Francisco. The eighth child I discovered while searching for other Orlandi in the vital records of the county of Arroyo and came across with a death inscription of one Antonia Orlandi the inscription declared that Leocadio and Baldomera as parents of Antonia. She had a short existence 1884-1885. She was their first born.
I'm Baldomera Questell-Fonseca
Mother of Josefina (Filin/Mamilla)
Baldomera Questell Fonseca. She is the child of Juan (Jean/French) Questell from French island of Saint-Barts and Feliciana Fonseca of Patillas, Puerto Rico..
A relative of ours Eduardo Questell Rodriguez has done extensive research of the family of the Questell's. He and I met and he shared the information of the Questell's. The oringins go as far back as 1630's in France proper. The first Questell to arrive to the new world was Robert Questell . He came as an endentured servant to the island of San Cristobal known today as the country of St. Kitts and Nevis. His descendants later moved to St. Barts. In the 1820's Juan/Jean Questell migrated to Patillas, Puerto Rico. I have copies of the paper work that one Juan Questell presented to the Governer of Puerto Rico requesting permision to settle in Patillas, Puerto Rico.
