It is actually Ciénfüegos (with the umlauted ü, so that it is pronounced, and not be silent which it would be if it did not have the "umlaut." I do not where she might be now, but there was a very attractive bank official at the Bank of Tokyo, in Coral Gables, Florida, named Elizabeth Parets, and she was from Ciénfüegos. She might now be working at another bank, but I have not seen her in a long time, or know something about her. Oswaldo F.

After I speak with my cousin, Ricardo Campos Dufau, in the next 36 hours, and question him about his O'Farrill lineage, I will forward the information to you. I know quite well his Dufau and Záyas lineages, but he has mentioned his O'Farrill lineage sporadically to me. He was born in Santa Clara, but his mother, Margarita (Maggie) Dufau Záyas was from Havana. Oswaldo F.

My great-great grandfather (tatarabuelo) was named Manuel Hernández Capiró. His son was Jesús Hernández Sarduy, and my grandfather was Manuel Hernández Leal, who was born in San Juán de las Yeras, in Las Villas Province. The birth records for my grandfather and grandmother I located in La Esperanza, nearby. I understand that San Juán de los Yeras did not have a Catholic church, and that at times the records were kept in Ranchuelo and at times in La Esperanza. According to what my father has told me, it seems that the main origin for the name Capiró in Las Villas Province was Cabaigüan, where the Capirós established and operated the only movie house in the area. My father narrates to me how when my grandfather- who had been elected to the House of Representatives of the Cuban Congress- managed to create the municipality/county of Cabaigüan, which had belonged to the municipality of Sancti Spiritus, he did not re-elected due to this matter. He was a member of the Partido Liberal, and was also a business partner of General Gerardo Machado, later elected president (they used to own a sugar mill Carmita), located near the capital of Santa Clara. One of the Capirós became very well known, and the hill which overlooks the city of Santa Clara was named after him (information of the book collection titled, Enciclopedia de Cuba). I believe that he was a newsman, and that he perhaps established the first newspaper in the city of Santa Clara. I know this little bit of information thru word-of-mouth from my father. Oswaldo F.
