Probably not. I think I remember the ex-governor’s brother telling me that their Calderóns moved from Spain to PR more recently.
My closest blood relation that I know of with a governor of PR is with Diego Menéndez de Valdés, Spanish Governor of PR from 1582 to 1593, who was my 11-great-grandfather. Diego Menéndez de Valdés was the governor who approved the sale of supplies to the English colonists who had stopped in western Puerto Rico in 1587 (where they actually built a small fort, the first documented English building in the New World) on their way to settle Virginia in what ended up being the “lost colony” of Roanoke. Of course, Roanoke was not the first European settlement in the continental United states: Diego Menéndez de Valdés’s cousin, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, had founded St. Augustine, Florida in 1565.
Does that mean you’re gonna be running for Governor before long ? ;-D
Menéndez... I hope that means you’re not related to that certain politico from NJ. :-P
