About Los Pellerano de la Republica Dominicana
I dedicate this page to my grandfather, Arturo J. Pellerano Alfau, who founded the prestigious
Dominican newspaper Listin Diario, on 1 August, 1889.
I have endeavored to include in this work many other descendents 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 to your writing comments or notes 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.
Jacqueline Gómez Pellerano
