Well, I've just Started my research of my family and I have found some interesting facts. First of all, most of my family either lives in Miami,FL or Cuba. My Last name, Corzo, is said to be Italian so I guess I have Italian blood, along with Spanish and of course Cuban blood. The most interesting thing I have found out so far is that one of my ancestors was President of Cuba for a couple of hours. His name: General Alberto Herrera and he was my grandmothers Great Grand-Uncle. Apperantly, during the early 1900's (Roosevelt Administration) he agreed to temporarily govern Cuba until the conflict between U.S. Ambassador Benjamin Sumner Welles, Machado, and Carlos Cespedes was resolved. Machado resigned, then, after a couple of hours Gen. Herrera resigned, then Cespedes was administered the oath of office and became President of Cuba. If you or anyone you know think you might be related to our family, please e-mail us!
