Both will mention your grandparents names and place of origen. Once you have that information you can continue your research. Any friend or family on Cuba can get those (baptism certificate) for you. You just need to provide your dad's full name (both surnames) and date and place of birth. Good luck, Maria Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
