Y DNA Issue With FTDNA Globetrekker ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-10-29 | There is an issue I've found, FTDNA, Y DNA, Globetrekker Map. I have various haplogroups nested in Kent, that do not appear on the Globetrekker map. When clicking on the one that does show up on the map, it changes haplogroups (when clicking on it). Another issue is, when clicking on 'Explore More' I have indeed been able to see the hidden haplogroups, but they are all linked to the same parent, back across Europe, when they should be linked to each other, in Kent, as parents to Children. It's all a bit convoluted I know. The point is, the Globetrekker map feature, in this section, seems to have some issues. And finally, the haplogroup paths do show up correctly over on the Ancestral Path section, but seem to be messy over on Globetrekker.
Big Y 700 DNA Part 2 Final ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-09-18 | Final episode on my Big Y 700 DNA results. My current haplogroup is R-FT380238 by way of R-U152. My earliest direct paternal father was Juan De La Riva Escagedo, born about 1725, in Renedo De Pielagos, Santander Province, Cantabria, Spain. He was the son of Juan De La Riva and Maria Escagedo Reoyo. Juan De La Riva Escagedo married Josepha Maria Escagedo Mazo.
Big Y 700 DNA Part 1.5 ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-07-25 | This video is part 1.5 of my Big Y 700 series.In the first episode I sent off the Y 700 kit, and went through some of the results from online free to use tests, such as the Morley and Caldefinder.I just received my initial results, where they give me my broad haplogroup,and then there's 2 more lab results, that will refine my haplogroup closer in time, to whatever degree they can.To recap my origins, my direct paternal line, documented with birth, marriage, and death records, is from Cantabria, Spain.my 5th great-grandfather, was Juan de la Riva Escagedo, who was born about 1725, in Renedo de Pielagos. I have his marriage record from June of 1749, when he married Josepha de Escagedo Mazo, my 5th great-grandmother. So I have my surname coming from both sides of my paternal lines, on various occasions across the centuries.Ultimatly, my origins are in Spain, yet I'm American. And that is because my paternal grandfather, Eloy Escagedo Valle, relocated to Cuba, from Spain, in 1930. And this migration occurred along most of my family lines, within the past 100 years, in that they relocated from various parts of Spain, including the Canary Islands. Likewise, I have and Italian branch, as well as a long standing Cuban branch, likely originating from Spain earlier.Then, due to the Cuban revolution, in 1959, all my family lines came to Miami, Florida, in the 1960s, where my parents met, and then I came along.I fall under the R-M269 haplogroup. And this is a preliminary result. It's being refined to a more closer in time result, and we'll take a look at that in part 2 of this Big Y 700 series.
I have indigenous ancestors from Canary Island ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-07-10 | Through my maternal line, my grandmother's father, I've had incredible fortune in tracing hismaternal line. That is due to researches from the Canary Islands doing all the work, for many years.The Spanish, and the Catholic church kept detailed records very well across the centuries.These researchers have transcribed many of those old baptism, marriage, and death records. I'm luck to coincide with one of the researchers, and their family lines. It also helped, that my family has documents, such as my great grandfather's birth certificate, and in it, as is typical in the Spanish world, they name his parents as well as his 4 grandparents.And through that, I was able to hitch a genealogical ride with the Canarian researchers.Through all this, I found I have indigenous Canary Island ancestors in my direct line, as well as other interesting ancestors with different backgrounds, which we'll look at.http://geneacanaria.blogspot.comyoutube.com/watch?v=TF1_yKxjUW4
Big Y 700 DNA Part 1 ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-26 | I purchased a Big Y 700 kit from FTDNA. Since I've been working on genealogy for various years, and through that had also taken an autosomal DNA test, I decided to do this one that looks at my paternal line going back into the remote past.This video is part 1 and we'll look at the results in part 2 when they process it and return my results.Our surname is Escagedo, and it originates in Cantabria Spain. Escagedo refers to a thorn like bush. Keep an eye out for part 2, when I review my results when they come in. And we'll compare it with all this, and see what we learn.
Cuban Italians ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-24 | In Las Villas, Cuba, in 1934, the 2 sons of Benito, a wealthy land owner in the town of Aguada, were taken hostage. Jose and Claudio Lliraldi were walking on their way to their father's ranch when they were kidnapped.The kidnappers were well armed and demanded 30 thousand dollars in return for their release. And then they lowered their ransom to 800 dollars, which was handed over to them near Benito's ranch, and his boys were then released. When the The locals, the police, and the military became aware, and the posse went after the abductors.It was made known to the newspaper reporters, by Alejandro Vergara, the Mayor of Aguada de Pasajeros, that these fugitives were part of a well organized crime gang that worked in the area.A violent shootout ensued, capturing one Alejandro Mederos, who was found with weapons, ammunition, and money from the kidnapping.Benito was my great granduncle, brother to my great grandfather Felix Lliraldi Hernandez.Benito Jose de los Dolores Lliraldi Hernandez, was born the 21st of March 1874, in Alacranes, Matanzas, Cuba.He was the son of Domingo Lliraldi Focha and Facunda Hernandez Mendez.His father Domingo was an Italian immigrant to the island, and his mother was born in Cuba.When I was growing up, my father would once in a while recount, that Domingo Lliraldi, when interacting with others, was difficult for the locals to understand, as he only spoke Italian.There is a lot of mysteries surrounding the Lliraldi family in Cuba, The origin of the prior spelling of the name, but we have learned interesting details, in addition to the family history that was passed down.
Grandfather Left Spain for Cuba in 1930 ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-22 | My grandfather Eloy left Spain at the age of 18, on Sept 11 1930, on the Cristobal Colon ship.He settled in Aguada de Pasajeros, Cuba, where his uncle Gregorio Escagedo Salmon lived.There were other Cantabrians living there in the early 1900s. My grandfather Eventually met and married my grandmother Ramona in 1941, she was born there in 1911. In 1942, my dad was born, Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi. The family own a store called La Francia.Back in Spain, my grandfather had left his family behind. His Father Patricio Felix, and his sister Balbina, as well as his aunt and uncle, Benita and Mateo Escagedo Salmon (Benita and Mateo were siblings.)Much of the family never left Spain, we did, through my grandfather.
Handcuff me outside so the child wont see it (A Cuban Exile story) ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-18 | 'Handcuff me outside so the child won't see it.' That's what my father told the two FCC agents standing in the living room of our house as they arrested my Father. This happened here at home one day in 1982. My mother was standing between the office and the dining room, while I watched what was unfolding from the hallway. And then they took him away. Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi was operating a clandestine, anti-Castro radio station called "Radio Antorcha Martiana." This was years before Radio Martí, the broadcast station that was later sponsored by the United States. The programming from my Dad's Station included selections of patriotic music and messages for the Cuban people. My father operated it out of a small room that was packed to the brim with equipment. Outside in the front yard, attached to the porch, we had a huge antenna that could be seen from afar. It was the same antenna that was used to raise the Cuban flag when the Pope visited Miami in 1987.

Cuca's formal name was Evangelina Lliraldi Alvarez, and she had Italian ancestry through her father Felix, Romualda's husband.This is Romualda's story.
30 years since they left Cuba for Miami ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-17 | In the 1990s, I took this photo of my father and grandmother standing on the front porch here in Sweetwater. At that time, more than 30 years had passed since they had left Cuba.My father arrived first at the age of 20 in September 1962, and in October of that same year he joined the US Army.6 years later, on March 27, 1968, my grandparents, Eloy and Ramona, arrived on the Freedom flights.Being here for several years prior, my father had already rented an apartment for them where he lived, in Little Havana, located in front of the Victoria hospital. My father was always proud to mention, that his parents never had to sleep on someone else's couch.
Youre American, Im Cuban, and Grandfather is a Spaniard! ROCK N WOODWORKS 2023-06-16 | Sometime back in the 2nd half of the 1970s, my parents and I were saying goodbye to my grandparents by the sidewalk next to our car one evening, I couldn't have been more than one or two.My paternal grandparents lived in the Little Havana section of Miami and each weekend we'd drive over from Sweetwater where we lived, for a visit.I remember it being after dusk and standing there looking up at the family, my grandfather was also standing there. Then my Dad said to me: you're American, and I looked at him attentively. Then he said: I'm Cuban. And finally, he said: And grandfather is a Spaniard.At that moment I bursted out crying. I remember feeling as if he was distancing my grandfather from me. I reached over and wrapped my arms around my grandfathers leg. Seeing my reaction, My Dad then said: ok, time to go home.A lot is said over Cubans, the history, politics, and other things. In this series we'll explore family stories, revisit DNA results, and maybe do some analysis on various related topics. If you're curious feel free to follow along. Film footage by Eloy J.

1800s Cubans in the U.S. ROCK N WOODWORKS 2022-08-17 | In this video we take a look at Cuban families in the 1800s, that lived in the American Heartland, the Midwest of the United States. Cubans were mainly of Spanish ancestry as well as Portuguese. But some were also fully or in part of British ancestry, likewise French, and from other places, with many being of African ancestry as well. The island was a melting pot to one degree or another, and for a very long time at that. People then traveled more than we might imagine, so we'll take a look at the records in the U.S. in search of these Cuban families.

British vs Spanish Ancient DNA ROCK N WOODWORKS 2022-05-26 | Let's look at British and Spanish Ancient DNA, respectively. We're going to use two modern people, one from the UK, and the other from Spain. Because The UK and Spain are large areas, we'll be more specific than just British and Spanish. We are going to look at the differences between a modern English person with a long standing history in England, and a modern Cantabrian person with a long standing history in Cantabria. The English is a friend, and the Cantabrian is my cousin.A couple of points before we get going, The ancient results for each, only include the ancient samples that have been found and tested for. And these two modern people, the English and the Spanish person, are 2 individuals out of a larger population of people, and there would be different results, at least in part, if other people from their areas were to be tested too. But in a broad sense, these results represent a general picture, on a sliding scale, of what you'd find from people in their respective locations, in an ancient sense, when comparing DNA. But to be very clear, DNA similarities and or differences, are more of a sliding scale between people. There is no solid cut off line from a person from one area or another. Instead, people are a blend of earlier populations back in time, and from multiple ancient people.
Spanish Surnames ROCK N WOODWORKS 2022-05-21 | A few notes on Spanish surnames: The overwhelming rule for Spain has been the use of two surnames (but there are outlier variations that we'll look at). The standard use is that a child receives the fathers first surname in first place, and the mothers first surname in second place, such as mine, example: Eloy Escagedo Gutierrez. But in the United States, where I was born, generally speaking, we only adopt the first, just the paternal surname, as in Eloy Escagedo, omitting the maternal surname. In recent times, Spain now allows for children to be named in the reverse manner, maternal surname first, and paternal surname second, I'm sure that there are some in recent times that have adopted this, but the overwhelming standard is, and has been, Paternal followed by the maternal surname. In the past, in peninsular Spain, there were other variations of this to also keep in mind. At times we'll run into compound surnames which are curious situations, as an example: Gutierrez de Escagedo; Rodriguez de Escagedo; and Diaz de Escagedo (two surnames as one). Things become interesting with people back then, where they would either keep their compound surname, or drop one to keep the other. As an example: Rodriguez de Escagedo, became Rodriguez, and Gutierrez de Escagedo became Escagedo. So in fact, there are some that carry Rodriguez today, that may be related to those that carry Escagedo today. The reason we use "may be", is because there are other circumstances to keep in mind. As an example: Though the surname Escagedo is rare (around 300 people carry it today), it is a toponymic name, likely acquired from a place or location by more than one family. Escagedo, likely comes from (Escajo), a thorny plant that grows wild across Cantabria. Again, the key idea here is, back in time there could have been more than one family that adopted the surname, though in this case, at the very least, the name appears regional to Cantabria. There are other surname variations too, for places, things, and first names becoming surnames such as: Espejo (mirror), De La Riva (rivers edge or seaside), Rodriguez (son of Rodrigo, and the earlier Visigothic form, son of Hrodric). In some towns in the north, surnames also varied from the standard paternal first, maternal second. In some cases, a child would acquire both of their father's surnames, and none from the mother. Likewise, the opposite would occur, where the child would receive both of the mothers surnames, and none from the father. This was noted in the towns of Toranzo and Carriedo, by Mateo Escagedo Salmon, Chronicler for the Province of Santander (my great-granduncle). There are also other considerations such as spelling, for instance: Escagedo is also written as Escajedo, or Escaxedo. Or Ceballos can also be written as Zeballos. In many cases, these different ways of spelling the same surname, would occur within the same family, and among siblings. And to add another layer of complication, the scribes and notaries that recorded church and civil records, at times would write these surnames differently, and sometimes differently, even among the same family members. At this point it is good to note that sometime around 1500, Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros, put into practice the naming convention that became the standard in Spain, Paternal surname first, followed by the maternal. Before this time, many within the same family could have different surnames depending on occupation, gender, and any number of other factors, such as a first born carrying both of his father's surnames, due to inheritance. This new standard with both paternal and maternal surnames being handed down,facilitated the ability to keep track of family lines, and for us today, it helps with our research. All that said, there were still variations that occurred (to a lesser degree)long after the adoption of the paternal/maternal standard we see today, well into the 1800s. What we consider a stable unchanging practice, was actually a process that evolved throughout time. I hope this is useful to someone, and Keeping it in mind when researching our Spanish ancestors.Eloy Escagedo GutierrezMiami, Florida, May of 2022

A Familys Flight From Cuba 1960s ROCK N WOODWORKS 2020-02-03 | Cuba before 1959 the revolution was one of the top developed countries in the Americas. Cuba ranked in the top five per capita income, third in life expectancy, second in per capita ownership of automobiles and telephones. First in the number of televisions per inhabitant, had 358 cinemas surpassing Paris and New York and a literacy rate of 76%. Cuba ranked 11th in the world for the number of doctors per capita. Cuba's economy was fueled by sugar production and export to the United States. Many American companies also had ownership and stakes in Cuba operating large businesses. The social life, beaches, and Casinos in Havana were a draw for Americans just a short distance away along with vacationers from around the world.The American Mafia was drawn to the casinos and there was also corruption among the politicians of the island. Cuba had lived through a series of cues throughout the 1900s. Life for people in the country was not as easy and would have months without work after sugar production was concluded. There were economic disparities as seen in other countries. However, the political trade-off they would soon make would forever change the lives of everyone. After the 1959 revolution, properties, businesses, and factories were confiscated. In short order everyone would become a ward of the state and the life that was, was no more.
Lliraldi Surname Mystery ROCK N WOODWORKS 2020-01-24 | This is an unsolved mystery concerning the Lliraldi name. We'll share with you what we do know and perhaps someone, someday, will come across this and help shed some light on the question. Where, specifically does the Lliraldi name come from and who were those people? The family story or family lore always was that this Lliraldi surname was of Italian origin. It was a well know family fact but not documented. My Father Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi wrote of his great-grandfather saying:According to family history, Lliraldi "the Italian" hardly spoke Spanish,people didn't understand what he would say, so we presumed he had immigrated to Cuba in the 19th (nineteenth) century. We make this assumption based on the fact that one of his grandchildren, Luis Lliraldi Álvarez, son of Félix lliraldi and Romualda Álvarez, was born in 1910.In relation to the last name Lliraldi, there has been questioning by his descendants on whether it was originally Lliraldi, Giraldi, or Geraldine, well it would not be strange that for varying reasons (pronunciation, signature, etc.), one or more letters in the name could change when an immigrant arrived on the American continent in those early years. In this case, the G of Giraldi or Geraldine, from an Italian when spoken with a marked accent, that pronunciation to a Hispanic can be understood more-less, or confused for Lliraldi with a double L. For the moment, everything indicates that the last name Lliraldi "was born", had its origin, in Cuba. When we can go to Bolondrón, Cuba, we may find more information in relation to this last name Lliraldi, because according to the marriage certificate of Ramona "Nena" Lliraldi Álvarez with Eloy Escagedo Valle in Aguada, her Father Félix Lliraldi Hernández was born in Bolondrón, Cuba. On forebears we read that:The surname Lliraldi is carried by more people in the United States than any other country/territory.and: The surname Lliraldi is the 6,136,921st most commonly held family name internationally. It is borne by approximately 1 in 809,681,616 people. The last name is mostly found in The Americas, where 100 percent of Lliraldi reside; 100 percent reside in North America and 100 percent reside in Anglo-North America. The surname Lliraldi is most widely held in The United States, where it is borne by 9 people or 1 in 40,278,945. In The United States Lliraldi is most prevalent in Florida, where 100 percent reside. Let's take a moment to look at The way I'm connected to this name: My Dad Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi was born in Aguada De Pasajeros, Cuba in, 1942 through to his mother and my Grandmother Ramona Lliraldi Alvarez born in Aguada De Pasajeros, Cuba in 1911, married to Eloy Escagedo Valle born 1911 Santander Spain. Ramona had 3 siblings. Luis, Evangelina, and Ramon Lliraldi.Their father and my great-grandfather were Felix Lliraldi born in Bolondron, Matanzas, Cuba, circa the 1880s and married to Romualda Alvarez born in Abreu's, Cienfuegos, Cuba, in 1887. Well, Felix had 3 siblings, Benito, Juan, and Isolina. Their parents were Lliraldi on the paternal side and Hernandez on the maternal. That Lliraldi father as mentioned before in the writings of my Father was said to be Italian and did not speak Spanish. We know nothing more of him or his wife with the surname Hernandez either. They would be my 2nd great-grandparents. Doing research I have had a breakthrough on the origins of this surname recently. Searching on Ancestry I came across 3 search results from the Argentinian census dating back into the 1800s. The surname is clearly written and the country of origin being Italy. In this first census, we can clearly read 3 Lliraldi names and one slightly questionable. the first is a bit faded for the first name, but the Llraldi is clear. That is followed by Angel Lliraldi and then Maria Lliraldi. 2 males and a woman indicated by the V for males and M for ladies. That is followed by their ages which are 22, 1 month and 75 years old for Maria.
The Beating of Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi Cuba 1961 ROCK N WOODWORKS 2020-01-20 | The Beating of Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi 1961 CubaAnother of the events that impacted the Aguadense opinion was the beating given to Eloisito Escagedo. One day in 1961 a fire arose at the chicken farm located in the Federal District, and as an innate thing in human beings, dozens of Aguadenses went to see the fire and among them Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi. While the fire was still raging, Eloy retired from the scene and went to the barbershop owned by Panchito Villavicencio on Calle Real, and sat down to wait for his turn for a haircut. As he waited for almost half an hour, suddenly, a policeman, a militia officer, and a militiaman appeared at the barbershop, and told Eloy to accompany them! When they walked out on the sidewalk in front of the barbershop, the policeman with his regulation uniform said to Eloy: - "So you see worm" -, and with that threw a punch, and the militia officer, as well as the other militiaman, joined the beating. Some passers-by stopped to see, but since the terror of the state was already in operation, and those who struck Eloy were military, they dared not intervene. All this happened in seconds when they had Eloy on the ground, and the police militiaman grabbed his head in order to strike him against the sidewalk curb, suddenly Panchito Villavicencio (the barber) appeared with razor in hand and told them energetically: - "Release him" - The police and other two soldiers stopped beating Eloy and withdrew. They left without following through with what they were there to do, which was to take Eloy away under some supposed accusation. The barber Panchito Villavicencio was always a communist. The news spread throughout the town, since Eloy, apart from being known and a minor, was not a violent youth.Later a sympathizer of the regime, and that until then was supposed to be a fervent religious Catholic believing in justice, she commented to Eloy's relatives in order to justify the beating, that it had happened because he was laughing at the farm fire. But when they took her husband's business from him, only then did this lady apologist for the regime curse the regime. According to the negligence with which the regime did things, it's possible that the chicken farm fire was due to a short circuit, a thrown out cigarette or other causes, but not precisely to sabotage it, since no one, nor any organization took responsibility for the event. The laugh was, of course, an uncertain thing, but if it had been true, that did not justify the police beating a minor, even if he was of legal age.By Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi (1942-2009)Era video footage Public Domainhere's the link:archive.org/details/1959-01-05_Castro_Triumphs

I Have A Thing Or Two To Tell You Before I Go - The Music Of Escagedo ROCK N WOODWORKS 2019-12-15 | A music documentary about the songs, live performances, and videos I've created over the past decades. I was influenced by music as much as by the books and biographies of musicians from the 60s and on. The stories of these people along with their music were inspirational. I began to piece all the little bits of stories and music together and ended up creating a variety of music. I would go from Blues to rock and beyond. Songs are like books, novels, and poems, but in short form. Writing and recording are a craft and like fingerprints, they are unique to the musicians that create them.All words and music by Eloy Escagedo 3rd.Ramses Garica drums on "Bomb The Weak" and "She Ain't Sleazy" Mario Perdomo drums on "Jam Back at Jimbo's" and "Music Man"Andres Natalino Bass on "Jam Back at Jimbo's" and "Music Man"
A Day In The Florida Everglades Captured In 2005 Eloy Escagedo 3rd ROCK N WOODWORKS 2019-12-11 | In 2005 I took my camcorder to work to film my day out in the Everglades. I had been working there since 1999 and would remain there until 2008. Before working in the Everglades, In 1998, I was working at a store called Lechters at International Mall. In that year my mother Berta Maria Gutierrez became ill and passed away. I was heartbroken and quit my job and stopped going to church of which I was a regular member and attendee. I didn't want to be constantly reminded of what had happened and needed a new direction. One day I saw an ad for a tour guide job in the Everglades. So I got in my car and drove out west on the Tamiami Trail, passed Krome Avenue and passed the Miccosukee casino ending up at Gator Park. As I walked to the entrance of the park, I met Les Blanchard standing by the door. We would soon become close friends. I told Les I needed a job, he looked at me and said come back tomorrow and you will get the job. So I did just that. The next day I met with Jon Weisberg. He was the owner of Gator Park. We sat for the interview out front. I was nervous, we talked, I answered questions and he hired me. I would work there for many years to come, learning so many things, and have a lot of great stories to tell. This footage from 2005 was recorded for my Grandmother to see what I did for a living all day.
Miami 1960s Cuban Exiles Film Footage Key Biscayne and Crandon Park Zoo ROCK N WOODWORKS 2019-12-02 | The footage you're about to see was filmed in the late 1960s by my father Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi. At that time my parents were still dating, not yet married. This footage captures a day at Key Biscayne and the Crandon park zoo. There are also various clips driving around Miami and at home. Along with my parents, we also have my immediate family all together enjoying that day at the zoo. This is a snapshot moment in time. It revels Miami as it use to be in the late 1960s and the people that made up my world half a decade later when I was born. This is deeply meaningful to me in so many ways. Most of the people filmed that day, my family, are no longer with us. So to see them again, smiling, walking and enjoying that day in the past, overwhelms me greatly.Family in this film:Eloy Escagedo Lliraldi, Berta Maria Gutierrez, Maria Del Carmen Gutierrez, Luis Gutierrez, Agueda Jimenez, Eloy Escagedo Valle, Ramona Lliraldi, Luis Lliraldi and friend of the family Rosa Toledo.
