Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!

I’ve had one of their signature handpainted ornaments for years, so we got one for Amanda and Ariella to…
First stock trade of the year
ByDerek
Last year was the first year that I really started paying attention to the stock market. While I’ve had a portfolio for several years, I was unsuccessfully following the old “Buy and Hold” mantra. I decided that 2006 was going to be the year I learned more about how the system actually worked and I…

Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
