Surnames: CASANOVA Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kRC.2ACE/5207.1.1 Message Board Post: Dear Mr. Pyle, I have a good memory, despite my centuries of age. I remember reading about a comic actress surnamed CASANOVA in TV Guide, in days when I read TV Guide, which in itself dates the occurrence several decades into the past. She played a secondary role in Rhoda, a situation comedy which was a spin-off of the Mary Tyler Moore show, and that show starred: Valerie ____________. OK, my memory is not great, but at least I did not cheat and look it up. This is all off the top of my white-haired head. The supporting actress' name could have been JUDY CASANOVA. She was excellent in her role, by the way, of a young woman, I would say still seeking her role in life. Now I have a complex about not remembering the name of the star. In any case, I used to enjoy the Mary Tyler Moore show and so I hope that you can find that person. The article mentioned that she came from good Cuban lineage, although I paraphrase, of course.

Surnames: OBEN, ALVARES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kRC.2ACE/5272.1 Message Board Post: Dear Nannette, The 1910 census from Puerto Rico is available, transcribed, online. I have been able to find my grandfather in Puerto Rico in 1910. Also, please include in you message the city in Puerto Rico from which they came. Most likely, they lived in Oriente province in Cuba, so you might want to start with researching Santiago de Cuba. There are Municipalidades en Exilio for several cities in Cuba, and of course there is the proud one for the proud city of Santiago de Cuba. If there are any persons remaining who would remember your family, it is worth talking to them. There is an annual fair of the Municipios held in Miami. Some Puerto Rican cities, such as Ponce, have chat rooms on the internet, where you can "spread the word". Look up the web site for the city of origin and read about its history. For example, there was a destructive hurricane in 1899, remembered even in an area known for horrible hurricanes, so that may have motivated your family's move. A decline in the coffee industry caused economic hardship for some, because the United States promoted the sugar industry over the "gourmet coffee" which in those days did not interest them --they could not foresee the future trend of coffee shops catering to lovers of the best coffees of the world. Being informed on your family's trade or business in Puerto Rico will assist you in your research. Where they in coffee, sugar, fruits, retail businesses, government work? That will also narrow down where they lived in Cuba. P.S. My mother's father also moved from Puerto Rico to Cuba and I have spent hundreds of hours researching them. Did you eat Puerto Rican foods in Cuba, especially during the holidays? We did --we loved the pasteles, yum, yum. We had a "taste of the island" although we did not live there, due to my grandfather's cooking. By the way, he was a cook in the Cuban army when he first joined, so many of the first Cuban soldiers ate Puerto Rican style cooking and tasted some of his desserts, too. No wonder he did well in the army --JOSE ALEJANDRO OWEN y ALVARES. He also told good jokes, a new one every day. I hope we can correspond as Puerto Rican Cubans and share experiences. I have wonderful memories growing up with those cultures and a Spanish greatgrandmother in her 90s. Good luck in your search, Ines Diaz-Owen

I hope to spend considerable time researching at that site. I wonder, whether you have come across any connection with the Estrada family of Mexico. I know that Gilberto Owen Estrada, the famous poet, is being celebrated in Mexico this year due to the 100th anniversary of his birth coming soon--Cuatro de Febrero de 1905. Mr. Owen worked in the diplomatic sphere and live in New York City and in Colombia, where he married. "¡Qué más quisiera, ¡triste de mí!, que anclar mi nave! Pero el remanso está lejos de mi dolor; ya el corazón inhóspito arbusto es para el ave, y en mi pecho, pletórico de hieles, ya no cabe el tesoro mil-y-una-nochesco de tu amor. " He too, was a man of constant self-analysis. Please let me know whether the two families connect and how, as it would enrich even mor Mr. Owen's already international story, and of course help to tie President Estrada Palma's legacy to Mexico.

I hope someone can give me any information about some lines of my antecesors tree that I'm looking for in Cuba. First, a sister of my second grandfather called JOSEFA GUTIÉRREZ ALONSO moved from San Miguel de Aras(SAntander) to La Habana before 1890 and married her husband before 1898. Other two relatives of the same generation called RICARDO & JOSE MORLOTE PASCUAL move to Cuba over 1920. The father of my Grandfather , RICARDO SEÑAS RUGARCIA, went to Regla from Tama(SAntander) to manage the store of his uncle Casimiro Rugarcia Rio and his wife Juana Chavez(from Cardenas) while they were at Asturias relaxing theirselves.After this, he returned to Tama and had his son,my grandfather. thanks.
