Hello....my name is José Manuel Carrillo-Muñiz
and I am originally from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico! and now I
live with my wife Leah, and our children J.J. and Kayla in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. Look
at my Yahoo
Profile!
On April 3,1999 I married my beautiful wife Leah at City Hall
in Toronto! Our honeymoon was in Paris, France. Our Church wedding
was on November 13, 1999, and our 2nd honeymoon was in St.
Maarten! (spoiled by Hurricane
Lenny!
)
My ancesters were Spaniards, the Carrillo's originally coming
from Castile, and the Muñiz' from Galicia. My parents are
originally from St. Thomas, USVI (although my grandparents came
from Culebra, PR) and from Adjuntas, PR.
I'm the 7th José Carrillo in my family. (actually now the 8th! after recently finding out that my great-great grandfather was also a José Carrillo, but without middle name) We share the
same first name but we differ in our middle names (one exception).
Starting with my grandfather, José Ismael, then my father
José Manuel, my uncles José Enrique, José
Miguel, José Pilar and José Raul; then the 3rd
generation José's, José Manuel Jr. (me!), my cousins
José Alturo, José Miguel Jr. and José Pilar
Jr., and finally the 4th generation José's, Cristián
José and Joseph Edward (or José Eduardo in Spanish, also known as
J.J. for José Jr.).
That's me! in my old office in Puerto Rico. The bodies to my
right are Leah Rolfe (well, now Leah Carrillo! ) , Millie Yadegar
and Marta González, and their heads were choped off by our
expert photographer!
And this is my wife Leah and I at our wedding on November 13,
1999 in Puerto Rico. Look at our
wedding
album!
This is our baby son Joseph Edward (aka J.J.) who was born
August 21, 2001. Look at our children's photo album!
