| I started researching my familytree when my son was born. I have always loved genealogy but I wanted my son to know where his roots were its hard to keep up spanish traditions in America but hopeful he will always remember them. I was born in Havana, Cuba. The areas that I am researching are in Cuba: Pinar del Rio, Consolacion del sur, Bahia Honda, La Prieta, Bauta, San Francisco de Paula, Guanabacoa, Santa Clara The Areas in Spain: Asturias, Parres, Llanes, Penamellera Alta, Puertas de Cabrales, Congas de Onis. Names for Cuba: Bahia Honda-Socarras, Cabezas,Acosta, Perez, Rodriquez Consolacion del Sur-Gutierrez, La Rosa, Gonzalez La Prieta-Socarras Bauta-Gutierrez, Socarras, Perez San Francisco de Paula-Coto, Mesa, Del Bao,Azanza, Fernandez Santa Maria del Rosario-Azanza Guanabacoa- Jimenez, Fernandez Santa Clara- Coto, Mesa Names for Spain/Asturias Parres-Gutierrez, de la Vega, Gonzalez, Mendoza, La Rosa, Junco Penamellera Alta- de la Torre, Torres, Navarre, Noriega, Niembro Congas de Onis- de la Torre Puertas de Cabrales-de la Torre, Niembro Extra places I am looking: France-Socarras Mexico-Gutierrez y Gonzalez Info to trigger someones memory: I am a decendant of Carlos Prio Socarras the last elected president of Cuba by way of the name Socarras. I've made a few connections with people when I tell them this so thats why I put it on my page. Also on the Gutierrez side in Cuba my GGGrandfather, Don Juan Gutierrez y La Rosa had shares in a Tobacco farm near Consolacion del Sur.He also had his workers live there along with his wife and 13 children. It was owned by a man named Cortinas but was burned during the War of Independance because they were from Asturias. Near Bahia Honda before Mariel there was a ranch owned by three brothers called Valentin, Jacinto, Bernandino Perez y Rodriquez. They lived there with their families and worked the land. The ranch was called 'La Cruz' My Granduncle Luis Gutierrez Socarras lives in Bauta he is 81 years old. In his day he was a great business man. He owned many Carnicerias and he called them "La Gloria" The main church that my family was "Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes" in Bauta. The main church in Spain is 'Santa Maria Magdalena de Parres' My family in San Francisco de Paula lived on the same street as Hemingway. My grandaunt worked for him for many years. Please if there might be a connection contact me by email... |
