Hi everyone,

It's me the newbie...That's great! I love to hear stories like this
especially since I had my own "link-up" this past weekend!

The wonderful purpose of this list is to....

UNITE FAMILIES not DIVDE THEM.

We are all members of the Cuban family...let's keep this in mind and not let
anyone divide us. Ignore those comments that irk you. People will believe
what they want no matter how much information is out there. It's not worth
your time to become upset! There are better things to use your valuable time
such as GENEALOGY!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and that you find one more link to your
ancestors!

Thank you to all who have offered your help and I hope I get to know you all
better in my daily reading of this list.

You're the best!

Eddie
