I could not find the etymology of the surname Dumenigo in any of my references. If I was to take a wild guess I would think that its roots are in the word "domingo". Spain's white telephone pages only show one person with that surname in all of Spain, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The US white telephone pages show 54 listings. There are two Cuban composers named Moises Hernandez Dumenigo and Samuel Hernandez Dumenigo. Saludos, Jorge

Señor Diaz-Rodríguez. Pudiera darnos algunos datos más? Algunos nombres ? De encontrar alguna relación con otros de Canarias con gusto me comunicaría. Saludos Blanca Rodriguez

Some data on the Manzana de Gomez building: The Manzada de Gomez, first entire city block built in Cuba in the beginnings of the 20th century complterely for commercial use with two inner diagonal streets that cross the building in all directions integrating the pedestrian circulation with the outer fabric. The building is about 3 or 4 stories high, in the street level were a lot of stores, men's clothing, shoe store, news and book store (speciallized in foreing newspapers and books most of them from USA), a barber shop,. several cafes, etc. etc. The upper floors were office of professional and export/import agents, travel agency, news media, attorneys, accountants, notary, a post office substation, etc. etc. If you go to the search on your computer, entre "manzana de gomez, cuba" and there are about severla pages regarding the subject. The street areound the city block were - Neptuno street, Zulueta street, Egidos o Monserrate street and a one block street (I don't remember the name) with a center plaza with a monument, and parking spaces...This side of the building was facing the "Centro Asturiano" building, across the street.... This is a very good recollection that I have of this building, that 2 o 3 times a week I passed by or walk thru the inner street (only for pedestrians).....In the inner street there were also several benches for the people to sit to eat an icecream or spoke a cigar...or just reading the newspaper, or waiting for that lady to go to lunch or "merienda".... If I found out the year of construction or any other information about this building will pass it along to all of you in the group. Agustin Cantens Miami, Florida cantens@aol.com

Puedo comentarte que, por lo que yo sé gracias a un estudio genealógico encargado por mi abuelo Gregorio del Toro, el origen del apellido radica en cierto ciudadano español, natural de Toro (en la provincia de Zamora, Castilla-León) viajó allá por el siglo XIV a Venezuela, y volvió colmado de riquezas. A su llegada, y en mérito al éxito logrado, le nombraron Marqués de Toro. Se sabe también que durante sus años en Venezuela dejó descendencia, de manera que los Del Toro hemos corrido una historia paralela tanto en América como en España. He encontrado tu dirección por pura casualidad, pero me ha hecho mucha ilusión saber que tengo familiares lejanos a miles de kilómetros de distancia. Si en alguna ocasión visitas Madrid, no dudes en contactar conmigo y tomar una cerveza con este tu "hermano" lejano. Un abrazo, Gonzalo
