Listers,
I am traveling to Cuba soon and hope to do more research on site for my
genealogy project. Can anyone give me tips on where exactly to search
records for info in Oriente province? (Specifically, the towns of Banes and
Puerto Padre.) Would the older records be found in Santiago?
Thanks for your help.

Hello all --
Below is a list of the libraries that supposedly have the Levi Morrero book
entitled "Cuba, Isla Abierta," according to the First Search database of
library holdings. If someone manages to look at the book and learn things
about Italians, I hope you'll share what you learned with me and others.

I believe that the excellent book by Levi Marrero, "Cuba: Isla Abierta"
has an extensive list of surnames with date of arrival to the Cuba, and
does address the migration of Italian nationals to the island as well as
from other nations. It is obviously in Spanish but it is rather straight
forward in its presentation of the material, and therefore, not very
hard to decipher the pertinent information contained therein.
I also have the surname GREGORY, in Puerto Prmncipe, said to be
from Genoa.

I haven't heard anything other than the several good suggestions that people
posted to the list. I'll try to get to the library soon and scan some books
on Cuban history (including those by Louis Perez) to see if there's any
mention of Italian immigration to Cuba. If you can suggest good books to
consult, I'll be happy to hear about them and search them out.
Unfortunately, I read Spanish only very poorly, so I need books in English.

Hi Pat, Yolayne & Hilda,
I too would appreciate any information regarding the migration of Italian
immigrants to Cuba. My Paternal grandmothers family was from Italy. She was
born in Ciego de Avila, Camaguey but on her birth certificate it states that
her father was originally from Italy, but states no city or town. Their
surnames were Lliraldi-Tocha. I suspect that Lliraldi is an alteration of
Giraldi.
Thanks,
Rolando Tapanes
Hello list --
I'm trying to figure out how my grandfather traveled from Santiago de Cuba
to the US in the period 1909-1915. By 1915 he was living in Brooklyn. What
was the most common route from Santiago to the US at that time? Did almost
everyone travel to Key West and then take ground transportation further
inland? Were there passenger ships from Santiago de Cuba to Key West at
that time? Were there passenger ships from Santiago to New York, Boston, or
other ports on the eastern seaboard?
Thanks in a

In any town contact the parish church pay the fees expected for a paper of
this kind and ADD MORE as help, and to pay for the extra work they will need
to search for Baptismal Records, Wedding Records. In the local Cementery try
to locale the Death Certificate, based all in dates you have to get from yor
own relatives here and there. also expect to pay the fee reqired and to
tip....
Hello all --
I seek information on the migration of Italians to Cuba, especially in the
late 18th and early 19th centuries. Can you suggest books or articles that
treat this subject, especially in English?
Thanks in advance for you help.

I don't know about those trips. However, later in the century, people who
wanted to travel to the US from Cuba usually boarded ships in Havana, because
there was a ferry, cheaper thaan other ships, from Havana to Key West. They
might have travel by train to any port where ships to the US departed.
Probably there were some leaving from Santiago directly but I don't know. If
you have the chance or know how to get the address, write to the Historian of
Santiago; I think that those cultural instittion

My grandparents came via Mexico as the quota was closed from Cuba at that
time (1919).......in fact my Dad was born in Merida, Mexico as they stayed
there several years......just a thought.

Dear Martha,
Would you be able to conduct research for others while you are in Cuba? I
realize this is a gross imposition upon your time, but so few of us listers will
ever have the opportunity to travel to Cuba to conduct our own research. If you
would be willing to help me research, I would be happy to offer monetary
compensation to you for your troubles. Please contact me privately if you would
be so kind as to help me.
Sincerely,
Susan Muzio Conner
