According to my late grandmother when her husband died, all ties with his family were cut. he died when my father was a kid. There were no family feud at the time of his death; everyone got along well. The family lost touch right after his death. The only information I know about him is that he was from the Puerto Plata area. His name was Sotero Maldonado, and I think his mother's name was Ramona. Also, one of his sister was named Juana. My grandmother use to tell us about a famous baseball player by the name of "Guayubin" who was related to us. She told us that he was my grandfather's nephew, the son of Juana Maldonado. I think there was an article about him early this year. Does anyone know any descendant of "Guayubin" perhaps I can get more info about that branch of the Maldonado through them.
