I have been blogging since 2003 and active on social media since 2009. My passions include writing and research, the media, the history of fraternities and sororities, and genealogy.
I am the historian of the Delphic Fraternity which was founded in Geneseo, NY in 1871, re-established in New Paltz, NY in 1987, with history dating back to 1833 in Hamilton, NY.
I have traced my genealogy back 200 years to the towns of San German, Mayaguez, and Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. I plan to research my family history for the remainder of my life.
In my most recent years, I have gained a rejuvenated interest in my Catholic heritage.
I manage a blog about my Puerto Rican genealogy and a website about Portuguese Puerto Ricans. I am also an ambassador for WikiTree.
You can contact me directly via social media networks @PhilVelez and @VelezComm.
I generally like to blog about Puerto Rico, politics, fraternities and sororities, popular culture, genealogy, history, technology, spirituality, social media, and New York.
If you would like me to write about a particular topic, feel free to reach out.
