We have Pardo surname , but we are no jewish. I thing my grandfather had surnames Pardo Chicote...If you find some information you can share, maybe we are relatives, but really i think this is VERY difficult...Too many people have surname Pardo in Spain. Good Luck. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My maternal grandfather was born in Havana in the late 1800's. We knew nothing about his history, other than that he was Spanish. Curiously, his surname is Genna. I am looking to find out who his parents were? Some time ago, I looked into this and saw sites that stated it would cost hundreds of dollars to produce a copy of a birth certificate. Can that be true? Is there some less expensive option? Thanks, Michael

Antonio Alcover Jaume was my great grandfather who came originally from Cataluna. My grandfather was Antonio MIguel Alcover y Beltran. He was the oldest of 10 children born in Sagua La Grande. YOu are correct in all your statements except one. He was never married to Micaela Delgado Llerena or had a daughter named Felicia Alcover y Delgado. My grandfather married my grandmother, Nieve Franch y Nin very you in Barcelona Spain and returned to Cuba where they had 3 children. I don't know where the name of Micaela appears married to him because that is an error. The Alcover family traditionally used the names of Antonio Miguel and Jose Luis very often so perhaps there was another Antonio Miguel who married that lady but it was not my grandfather. If you have information as to where you got this data please let me know because I would like to correct i! t.

El ingeniero Francisco de Paula Gelabert tuvo oros tres hijos: 1. Josefa. 2. Mariano, también ingeniero militar, muerto en La Habana en 1848. 3. Antonio, también militar, casó con María Josefa Meyreles y González de la Torre (bautizada en al catedral de La habana, 11 septiembre 1793 - 5 junio 1867, Parroquia Guadalupe), hija de José Luis Meyreles y Cepero, coronel del Regimiento de Infantería de Milicias de la plaza de La Habana y Ana María González de la Torre y Rives. Sobre los hijos de Francisco de Paula (II) Gelabert e Irene Gayarré puedo ampliar datos sobre algunos: a).

Se que es referida en el New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957, si alguíen puediese pasarme los datos de ésta referencia: año, edad, barco...estaría sumamente agradecido.
