I guess we have similar DNA :-). My family comes from Carlos Lorente the youngest son of Juan Lorente de la Rosa (First Marriage). Having travel to Cuba many times I met two of his sisters. They had great stories. My understanding is that his second marriage was with a concubine and he never married her but he recognize all the children. Also all the children from both families got along well. His older brother had 54 children in Oriente and recognize them all as well... Here is a couple of Links to the Museum: I hope you know Spanish... http://www.ecured.cu/index.php/Museo_Municipal_de_Candelaria http://www.candelaria.pinarte.cult.cu/htm/Investigaciones.htm Do you have information on the parents of Juan Lorente de La Rosa and or beyond?
