Belisario and Alvarado, my two last names from my genetic roots. These were united to give foundation to a small town called Parapara, whose etymology derived from the papaparo plant, vegetation that was abundant in that town at the time of 1660, the year of its foundation. Doña epiphany Alvarado and Celedonio Emeterio Belisario (my grandparents) being teenagers and natives of this little town called to be unified in marriage and whose origin is the first winery of the town of San Juan de los Morros, capital of the Guárico state, in order to be able to buy provisions and food . So the initiative of this young couple brought the desired well-being for the inhabitants of the town. A warehouse of about two hundred square meters, with 5 large wooden doors, at that time the greatness of a warehouse or supply is mediated by the number of doors it had. That young Celedonio Bélisario (my grandfather) with a prestigious personality, took advantage of his social ties to push the people forward, and it was in 1950 that he managed to build the first coleus sleeve (indigenous sport of the llaneros towns). ) which consists of releasing a bull to run and chase it on horseback, take it by the tail and knock it down and turn it around. That is called coleado bulls and Celedonio was the pioneer of this sport in the town of Parapara Such bullfighting days were the most significant event of those days. And of course that gave Celidonio a modest local fame, who was already known as a "fine horse" due to the skill of the beast who rode on Coleus evenings and his impeccable way of dressing. As well as that exotic way of walking acting. His worthy wife was peppered with the reputation of her sentimental partner and husband Celedonio Belisario. But that social recognition and popular leadership had its roots in the parents of these spouses. Alcadio Belisario father of Celedonio, held the great duty and distinguished task of being in charge of the operation of the Dynamo that supplied electricity to the entire town. It is worth the importance that a dynamo meant at that time, and this could only be managed by the most responsible hand of the people and who better than that gentleman. The administration consisted of maintaining this appliance and turning it on and off. It turned on at 6 in the afternoon and went off at 12 midnight.For his part. Sebastian Alvarado father of Epiphany, wife of Celedonio, fixed his mark on the history of this modest and humble little town when with his initiative to improve himself he made the first television that existed in that town. Upon the arrival of that strange device at Sebastian Alvarado's house, amazement invaded the population, who every day waited for the afternoon to go and concentrate in that house in order to be part of that event that meant watching television. Such was the ingenuity of the inhabitants that many expressed curiosity to uncover that device (the television) in order to see if those characters were being transmitted. They were certainly inside that apparatus. This fact shows how significant it was to have a television at that time and especially in that little town. This event gave rise to the creation of the first community cinema in the town of Parapara. Since for Sebastiano Alvarado, it was uncomfortable, feeling his privacy violated every time half the town went to his house to watch TV.From this union of young Celedio and Epiphany, there was a fruitful factory of people, 18 children were born and whoever writes to them here is the son of one of those pimpoyos (my father). This is a brief account of my family origins
