This is a lookup to see if I can contact anyone related to me for further research. I am
researching my father's side of the family. My name is Kobe Cancel and I currently
reside in Maine, and I was born in Rhode Island. My father is Angel Cancel Jr. He was born
January 21, 1972 in Massachusetts. His mother is Lydia (Esther?) Medina who currently
lives in Lehigh Acres Florida, formerly Central Falls, Rhode Island. I found this obituary
posted on the message board in 1999:
WORCESTER - Angel Cancel, 47, of 13 Elizabeth St., formerly of 86 Austin St., died Monday
in The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts - Memorial after an illness.
He leaves four sons, Angel and Richard Cancel, both of Providence, R.I., Michael Cancel of
Oxford and Jonny Cancel of Worcester; his mother, Lydia (Mercado) Cancel of Worcester;
five brothers, Luis Cancel of Worcester, Domingo and Juan Cancel, both in Puerto Rico,
Jenisio Cancel in Connecticut and Manuel Cancel of Chicago; and seven sisters, Julia
Cancel and Nilda Ramos, both of Chicago, Gloria, Santa and Concepcion Cancel, all of
Puerto Rico, Maria Cancel of Worcester and Delia Cancel in Texas.
He was born in Jayuya, Puerto Rico, son of Juan Cancel, and lived here many years.
Mr. Cancel was formerly a laborer in the construction industry.
The funeral will be held tomorrow from Graham, Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors, 838
Main St., with a Liturgy of the Word at 10 a.m. in St. Paul's Cathedral, 15 Chatham
St. Burial will be in Hope Cemetery. Calling hours are 7 to 9 tonight at the funeral
home.

I believe this to be my grandfather. I knew he died before I was born and I have met my
uncles Richard and Johnny. My father has mentioned his brother Michael, whom Angel Sr.
supposedly had in an affair. I have not any of the aforementioned great aunts and uncles
or great grandparents. I have tried to find all of these people but it is pretty hard to
do being a high school student without a credit card. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I am not in contact with my father, grandmother, on that side of my family
(or the other side, for that matter). Please contact me ASAP with any leads, no matter how
minuscule they may seem. Hoping and looking forward to any info! Thanks!
