The town of Moca

Is there a town or barrio in Moca called Altamira? If so, does any one knows any one from the Maldonado family there that I can be placed in contact with?

This is the story. My grandfather (Sotero Maldonado) it said to have come from this area. He died when his children were very young and contact with his side of the family was forever lost. Basically, my father, aunts and uncle do not know anything about their father's family. The only information I know about his siblings is that their names were, Juana, Maria Virgen, Altagracia and Jose. His mother's name was Ramona. My grandfather also was good friend with a Colonel (Coronel) Joaquin Cocco Hijo. My interest is to find out more about my grandfather and his family.

Any lead and information will be greatly appreciated.

Everyone thanks for the information. I think Moca is where my grandfather was from. The town of Altamira could be a town that he and my grandmother moved later, since Puerto Plata is where they lived at one point in their marriage. As you know the kids were very young when he died and could have mistaken the location.

Chip,

Thanks for the lead. I might contact you later in case I decide to hire a PI.
