Hi. I would think the best way to contact Mr. Bartholomew is through his blog: http://www.rafebartholomew.com/blog.

I am trying to get in contact with Rafe Bartholomew.I am co-author on the basketball book of the first professional womens basketball team, the All American Red Heads. In 1940 this team traveled to the Philippines and played games for several month. I believe this was the first time a professional basketball team traveled there, or at least the first time a professional womens basketball did.Thank you for any help.Kind regardsJohn Molina

hi lolita. click my name of the upper left hand of the page and that links to my email address. the veluz’s are very likely related; but i have yet to establish my husband’s link to luisiana, laguna. i’ve heard of stories; but no documentary evidence yet. so far, i have only traced them until del gallego, camarines sur.

Mona, I had searching for your e-address. Where are you now? My grandfather is Bernabe Veluz from Luisiana, Laguna. He did not have any sibling. I am so surprised to hear all the Veluzes around the country. I know for sure that all of them came from one root. So interesting. I am so glad that you have this information board . My email address is lvhequibal@gmail.com

Aw, glad to hear he is better! Dr. Luciano Santiago (he wrote “The Art of Ancestor-Hunting in the Philippines) also said the same thing — that there have been many attempts to create a society. We are very lucky now — technology is a big enabler! I showed Sonny Geni.com when we happened to be at the FHC together last year; but there are so many other platforms he can use. Hope he finally gets his research digitized!

Well, you’ll be glad to know that he is already up and about. I visit him frequently because I maintain his computers. i am also working on putting his work online for the public to use. i’ll tell him about PGS when i visit him this weekend most probably. i am sure he’ll be thrilled to hear about it. I have proposed the idea to him a few years back and he mentioned that they have tried to set up one with Sis. J, but were not pursue it.

Hi Felvir. Although I do not belong to the church, I have been a user of the FHC for a looong time — since 2001 when the library was still a small bodega in the backroom. I also am a volunteer indexer for familysearch.org.

My Magno line stops with Ricardo Magno of Iloilo. Even Sis. Jane at the FHC helped me look for primary materials but there was none. Civil records were torched in a fire in the 1940s and my ancestors were not Catholics so there are also no church records. The next steps and hypotheses I have been working on are here: http://bit.ly/cSVbtM.

I actually know Sonny (aka Martin Jr.)! His wife is a relative of my husband and he is the ninong of my brother-in-law. He was ill last year so I did not bother him with PGS issues — he is one of our favorites to be a trustee for the organization.
