I am hoping someone may be familiar with their family and be able to help. My husband's grandfather was Alberto Aulet Fernandez who was born in 1917 in Havanna, Cuba. He had many siblings and half siblings and owned Aulet Lamparas Fluorescentes in Havanna. I found a phone book from 1958 that listed the shop and some of his brothers in Havanna. His mother was Aurora Fernandez Morales and his father was Carlos Aulet Caudal. I only know his mother's name and nothing else. His father Carlos was born in 1869 in Cuba and may have had a brother Bartolome. He may have also been a firefighter in Havanna. Alberto loved to travel to the US, so I have a few manifests listing his arrival, plus some listed with Bartolome and Alberto's brothers and one of his sisters. Through these manifests I found that Carlos' mom may have been Rosa Caudal, but I can only guess that Carlos' ! father was also Carlos Aulet. Alberto left Cuba in the late 1950s or early 1960s with his wife and children. Does anyone have any information regarding this family and where they may have emigrated from? We believe they are from the Basque region of Spain, but do not know for sure. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
