Dear friends and family . . . As we start a new year, Somos Primos is
expanding its' international networking. Angel Custodio Rebollo, our columnist
from Spain, is coordinating a new International Networking column.
Somos Primos contacted over thirty historical and genealogical societies from
Spanish/Portuguese speaking countries. Angel will compile the information
from the queries each month. This issue we have surname contact requests from
Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil.
May 2007 be your best year for gathering family records and honoring the
lives of your grandparents.
Sincerely, Mimi

Dear Primos and near Primos. . . .
I would like to dedicate this issue to Johanna De Soto, with the greatest
gratitude for her faithful support, tireless in seeking out fascinating websites
and tidbits of information. She will be missed, but family lifetime changes
have prompted the decision, which I received sadly. We wish her great joy in
her retirement.
This issue completes the 7th year of Somos Primos online, and the 84th
monthly issue fully available on the web. Thank you for your wonderful letters.
They are greatly appreciated. Please feel welcomed to share in 2007 your family
research or articles of interest that you come across.
Wishing you all the warmest wishes for a wonderful Merry Christmas with the
blessings of health and family.
Sincerely, Mimi
