Dear Ms. Gomez:

I had a great grandmother, Carmen Herrera, from Spain. She was over 100
when she appeared on the "Queen for a Day" television show, nominated by
her daughter, Blanca Aurora Fernandez Herrera (my paternal grandmother),
also from Santiago de Cuba but living in Havana by then (the 1950).

Carmen Herrera was rather eccentric, short and slight as I remember her and
quite fond of flamenco. Her daughter Blanca seemed to me beautifully
Sephardic in her features, fair skin and thick hair.

Do you have any information on the Spanish Herreras who came to Santiago?

Thank you for your research, Ines Diaz-Owen
