FUTuro.

Ola, Latino,

Latino USA listener, like moustas.

Today we're going to bring you an episode of a new podcast series by our friends over at

Radio Diaries. It's called The Unmart Graveyard and it's a collection of stories that

want to put a name and a human face on a place known as Hart Island.

It's a burial ground in New York City where more than a million people have been

buried without headstones or plaques. People like Angel Garcia, a New

Eurekan from the Bronx. In this episode we're going to meet Annette Vega who

looked for her biological father, Angel, for more than 30 years.

Through her search, Annette discovered a whole new family, a Tia, several cousins, even

have siblings. None of them had heard from Angels since the late 1980s.

And finally, she found Angel in his resting place at Heart Island. Here's the story of Angel Garcia.

Oh my God, that's the island. It's crazy. It's not a lot of land for that many people to be buried.

At first I thought it was eerie,

but it's kind of pretty because the fog

just like erases the city.

It's just so beautiful.

It's nicer than I thought. My name is Annette Vega. I'm a registered nurse and I am

53 years old. I grew up in the Bronx. I lived with two of my younger sisters and my mom and my dad.

Dad was always working. He was an electrician for Local 3 and he was always the strong guy and a lot of the neighborhood teenagers looked up to him.

Not everybody had their dad in their life, you know.
