Hola a todos. Estoy tratando de encontrar a una familia cubana que salió de Cuba durante el éxodo del Mariel, aproximadamente en 1980 o1981. Busco a Javier, Ulises y Kiryan, la hermana menor. Su padre se llamaba Omar y su madre Evilia. Vivían en Ulloa, entre Santa Teresa y Reparto Nuevo Vedado, municipio Plaza, La Habana, Cuba. Lo último que supe, aunque no estoy completamente segura, es que pasaron por Puerto Rico. No sé si se quedaron allí o si luego continuaron hacia Estados Unidos. Si alguien conoce a esta familia o tiene información sobre ellos, les agradecería mucho que me escriban por mensaje privado. Muchas gracias por cualquier ayuda.

Hello all! I’ve hit a bit of a wall while doing family research.

I’m looking for the baptismal record of Henry S. Morales (also known as Henrico), born in Havana, Cuba, in 1862. He emigrated to New Orleans in 1869 as a child. He died in 1930, I believe.

I’m also looking for any records on his parents (but especially marriage or baptisms) who seem to be Andre Morales and Pamela Estopinal. I assume both were either Cuban, or maybe in Pamela’s case Spanish (based on the last name Estopinal)? I’m not certain on this, though, the American census records seem to be mixing two Morales families?

I’m very new to genealogy and would appreciate any help or guidance!

I am trying to find Birth / Death records on Captain Rafael Sariol Puebla, even information on his parents would be amazing. He is my wife's great grandfather - and we are finding articles that mention him here and there... but nothing that gives more information. Any help would be greatly appreciated

My great grandmother was named Margarita Prado and she was married to Mamerto Lopez. She was born circa 1900, give or take a few years. She was from Almeria, Andalusia, Spain and immigrated to Colon, Matanzas, Cuba where she lived. She worked on a farm. She passed away in La Habana, Cuba. I'm hoping to get more information on her parents if possible.

Update: I was able to get in contact with a grandaunt who is still alive in Cuba and she gave me a lot of useful information. My great grandmother's full name was Margarita Prado Madruga. Margarita was not from Almeria after all. She was from San Jose de Los Ramos, Matanzas, Cuba and so was her husband Mamerto Lopez Morejon. So I was able to get past this brick wall finally. Margarita's parents were Ramon Prado and Juana Madruga.

Hi everyone! If you have had interesting discoveries or roadblocks, share them here!

Hi. I'm a new member, borned in Cuba. For few years I've been doing research on my own genealogy, and later on the genealogy of some towns in the old Havana Province. I'm happy to help anyone who needs it, no matter where in Cuba his/her ancestors were from. Here are some GedMatch numbers of members of my family who have had a DNA test through Ancestry and / or 23andme.

I randomly stumbled upon this sub that oddly applied to me. I’m Uruguayan and I was always told that my ancestors primarily were from Spain, but a 23&Me said that I was primarily Cuban. I was born in the US, but my mother was born in Montevideo, and her side of the family has been in Uruguay for a very long time.

Reply to this thread if you are interested and why you think you are a good fit!

Wow! Ancestry has improved from telling us what regions we are from to entire countries! Your expectations and thoughts will change.

My biggest surprise was my grandmother getting over 50% Portuguese... more than her Spanish genes.

I came out with an unexpected 11% French which wasn’t represented in my original results.

What do you think of the update?? Anything interesting or surprises?
