I belong to a Dominican genealogy group on facebook, and recently someone posted asking about the history of/ancestry their surname. It happened to be one of Mr AE’s too, so I read all the responses. The administrator of the group apparently also shares that surname, and he said he believes the family (originally from Guayubin In Montecristi) were scattered due to the Devastaciones de Osorio in 1605-6. I never heard of it, and neither did Mr AE, but lo and behold Google had info in Spanish and English. According to this, it’s the reason Haiti even exists today.
