I dedicate this page to my grandfather, Arturo J. Pellerano Alfau, who founded the prestigious  Dominican newspaper Listin Diario, on 1 August, 1889.

I've made an effort to include many other descendants of Giovanni Battista Pellerano of  Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, who settled in the Dominican Republic in the early 1880's. As in every genealogical project, massive amounts of data are subject to errors and omissions.  Therefore, I would be grateful for your comments regarding any corrections or oversights in the Guest Book, or you may e-mail me directly. 

I wish to thank everyone who has contributed photographs and other material. Special thanks go to my  two cousins: Fedora Pellerano Gomez for her tireless research; and Olga Gomez Cuesta for her help  and encouragement.

 This work could not have been done without help and direction from the listed Dominican  genealogists, whose consultations have been invaluable:
  
 Julio A. Gonzalez Hernandez of the
 Instituto Dominicano de Genealogía, Inc.;
  
 Marcos H. Hernandez Brea of the
 Proyecto Genealógico Raíces de Quisqueya;
  
 Dr. Carlos Vicente Larrazabal Blanco, Author of
 Familias Dominicanas; and
  
 Antonio J.I. Guerra Sanchez, Founder-Secretary of the
 Academia Dominicana de Genealogía y Heráldica.
  
 To each and all, I give my heartfelt gratitude for their enduring patience and admirable grace in  answering my seemingly endless number of questions.
