Greetings, listers, A friend sent me this post from the Canary Islands List. He thought it might be of interest since it has a Caribbean connection. Hope someone can use it, esp. the website with the 14,000 names.

In 1946 during a very large fire all the civil files were destroyed in Samana and I am trying to find the old information and forming a new data base. See my website www.javado4.tribalpages.com. I have more than 14000 names there and many Buenos family names. I am looking into the family of Simon Carcano and Isabel de Armas mentioned in a list in 1783. Also in that list is a Francisco Bino, I think it is Bueno. Are there any genealogical studies made of these two families? I think Carcano is not from the Canary region, but Simon Calcano married with Alejandra de Armas went to Samana in 1760. It is possible he married in Laguna. I am living in Santo Domingo and maybe we can join resources. Thanks, Jan van Doorn
