I found the birth records of Sylvia Esperanza d'Estrampes. She was born on June 23, 1872. Her father was Dr. Louis A. d'Estrampes and her mother is listed as Adelaide Martina Vegn, who I assume is Adeliada Martin-Vegue born around 1840 in Cuba. Here's a link to her birth record in the US Archives: http://files.usgwarchives.org/la/orleans/vitals/births/index/1872bidg.txt I also have been spending quite a bit of time reading and translating from Cuban history books any information I can find on Francisco Gomez y Estrampes of Matenzas. I even found a picture of him. I'm keeping all my information on him in his profile in my family tree here: http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=5266915&pid=-1035456089 Please check back often - I'm only half done translating and have much more information to enter. I hope this helps you! Tony Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
