(Not So) Wordless Wednesday- Roots

June 9, 2010

As I spend more time in Puerto Rico I learn a little more about my roots from my Dad’s stories. My last name Juliá (notice the accent on the a) has Spanish and French roots. Though we’ve never done much genealogy work my Dad has said that for years. When I traveled to Spain in the Fall of 2003 I made it my mission to find out something about where we come from. It turns out that we have some roots in Toledo, Spain and lo and behold look what I saw and was able to photograph upon our arrival there.

Very exciting indeed, but the best part…being able to show my Dad the proof that he was right along
