Talk:German immigration to Puerto Rico

message: As I understand it, Prinze Sr.'s father was not a descendant of the German migration to Puerto Rico, but rather was a German immigrant to the United States who never lived in Puerto Rico, so therefore I don't think the example is valid for this article. -- Okupat 19:10 (UTC), 19 April 2006
* I'll answer since I have written most of the Puerto Rican immigration articles.  The section clearly states "Famous Puerto Ricans with German surnames".   Even if Prinze's father was not a "German-Puerto Rican". he still qualifies as a famous Puerto Rican with a "German" surname.  Oh by the way, thanks for clearing up the Catalan surnames in the French immigration to Puerto Rico article.  Tony the Marine 18:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Ivonne Goderich is the daughter of a Cuban television producer, Ivan Goderich, who married Esther Sandoval. If the intention of the article is to depict her as a descendant of German immigrants to Puerto Rico, then the premise is wrong (unless, of course, the article stated "German immigrant to Puerto Rico by the way of Cuba" ;-) ). In fact Goderich might be from somewhere else (I dunno). However, as per Tony's take above, it might be left in the article. OTOH, Angela Meyer is a stage name for Angela Maurano, her real name. Her ancestry is actually Puerto Rican by the way of Colombia. I'll wait a day or so; if no one objects or does it first, I'll remove the Meyer reference. Demf 18:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 10-4, but does Angela Meyer stay? I don't think she deserves to be here... That would be the same as me changing my last name to, say, Schmidt. Agree? Demf 15:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Crcam, Thank you for your positive contributions to both of these articles which I wrote.  After verifing the orgins of the names that you added to the "Common German surnames in Puerto Rico" section, I found out that you were right in some cases.  Those surnames will remain in that section.  However, the following surnames will be removed because they are not German surnames, these are the following.
"Baldrich"-English origin; "Christian"-Scottish origin; "Lage"-Dutch origin; "Michaelson"-English, Norwegian origin; "Thorsen"-Swedish origin and "Vans Derby"-Dutch origin.
You can use the following site to help you determine the origin of a name:
