Welcome to Puerto Rico |
 |
Welcome to Puerto Rico's website which is hosted by Trails To The Past.
My name is Charlie Vines and I am the host.
If you find any errors on this site or if you would like to contribute to this project, please contact me.
Although I do host this site, I do not live in this territory; therefore, my ability to assist with any research will be extremely limited. I will be adding a volunteer page in the future. This will provide everyone researching this county to help each other.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico is one of the Greater Antilles Islands which also includes Cuba, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Jamaica.
