Chicago man reunites with his family after nearly 40 years

CHICAGO (AP) – A Chicago man whose relatives had not heard from in nearly four decades has been reunited with family members, thanks to a nursing home administrator who turned to social media after he entered the home with no known next of kin. The Chicago Tribune reported 77-year-old Antonio Talavera reunited with his long-lost brother outside a nursing home in the Humboldt Park neighborhood two weeks ago. Because his speech is limited, Antonio could not explain why he had lost touch. The family of 14 siblings had come to the Chicago area from Puerto Rico decades ago.
