• The Sustache's are neither from France nor Corsica, they are from Spain. The vast majority that immmigrated to Puerto Rico settled down in the town of Yabucoa in the Eastern coast of the island. The Sustache surname is listed in the "1980 Census List of Spanish Surnames."Tony the Marine (talk) 05:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello I copy your mention and happy to hear from you. I'm sorry that is taking me so long to write. My great grandfather Modesto Quinones Y Sustache who lived at Cameno Yabucoa Puerto Rico till his death stated on all of the census that I copied that his father was from Spain. My brother who lives in Puerto Rico stated that there is a street name after our name "Sustache" in France. Other than that. That is all I know about our name. I was wondering if you would not mind tellin your father parents and your mother parents name and were they are from. Maybe I have them in my ancestry tree?. I really don't know much about our last name. I do know that at three brothers came to Puerto Rico and split up. One of them is my great grandfather father. I hope to hear from you soon. Sorry for writing in english. As you can see my spanish is horriable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.105.191.131 (talk) 20:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
