I am also related to him as well. I know in Cuba his house is a Museum. I dont know if your father told you he was against the American Intervention in Cuba's independence. That is why Fidel made the main house in Candelaria a Museum. My mom has his General Stars made out of gold and were given to him at the end of the Independence.
