PUERTO RICO and the USA

At the end of the XIX century, Mr Antoni Orobitg, a carpenter from Sabadell (Barcelona), moved to Puerto Rico. In 1898 Puerto Rico got his independence from Spain. Despite this fact, the first Orobitg in this country had already settled in definitely.

Internet has allowed us to contact with the direct descendants of Mr Antoni Orobitg. They have been actively collaborating with us. Nowadays Ms Sisy Orobitg Reyes lives in Miami, whereas her family lives in the south of the USA and Puerto Rico.

We hope we will soon be able to update this web – site by incorporating the information they have provide us with.


ARGENTINA

Nowadays, there are four 'Orobitg' families in Argentina. It is unknown to us how and when did they moved to this country. However, Argentina was a common destination for quite a lot of Catalan people moving to Latin America in the XIX and XX centuries.

Until now we have not succeed in contacting the descendants of those families neither in Argentina nor in Catalonia or other parts of Spain.
