Generation 4

Maina, who died in February 1968, lived to see the birth of 4 of her great-grandchildren: Mike and Jeff Lagos, Tracey Vreeland, and Kathleen Carr.  By the end of that year, with Buzz Lagos's marriage to Sarah Beasley, the generation grew and it didn't stop growing until Michelle Naspinski Lagos (Ubben) announced, after the birth of her son Jack in 2000 that the generation was "closed."

If this were an exercise in strict genealogy, where only blood descendancy were counted, we would say that  Maina and Papa had 33 great-grandchildren.  Because this is, in contrast, a familiy history, and therefore Emilito has listed all 48 people that we, Lagoses all, consider members of that generation.  There are legitimate reasons that people might want to distinguish these groups, but Emilito has chosen not to do that in the listing below.  All 48 members of generation 4 are listed, along with the corresponding parent, grandparent and great-grandparent from the Lagos line.  The generation 1 ancestor is Antonio in all cases.  Although he could equally have said Josefa, Emilito sticks here with the patriarchal naming conventions of our society.

Also listed, to illustrate the continuing  geographical spreading of the family is the state of residence of the 48 members of the generation.

They are in 14 states, specifically

1.    Maryland            9
2.    Florida                7
       New Jersey         7
4.    Minnesota           6
5.    Arizona               4
       Massachusetts     4
7.    California             2
       ?????                   2
       Pennsylvania        2
10. Alabama               1.
       Georgia                1
       IIllinois                 1
       Ohio                    1
       New York           1

The table above also notes the number of children of generation 4.  As of 1/1/2005, there were already 47 members of generation 5, with plenty more to come..

Emilito's documentation of the US Lagos history, begun with the immigration of Antonio Lagos, his wife Pepita, and children Carmen, Manuel and Victorina in 1912, ends here, with the 4th generation and the number of their children as of 1/1/2005.  The history itself will go on, and while Emilito will be happy to make minor updates in the near future, hopefully a new historian will be found.
