Surnames: Carbonnel/O'Fallon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kRC.2ACE/794.821.825.1 Message Board Post: The God father of my great -great-grandfather Ricardo O'Fallon, born on April 10, 1815, in Santiago de Cuba, was Doctor Don Pablo Carbonell. My understanding is that the original Carbonell came from Spain to Cuba, via Puerto Rico. If you recieve more information about the Carbonell, I would appreciate your communication. I can also refer you to an excellent genealogist in Santiago de Cuba, If you would like someone to research the Church archives in Santiago de Cuba for you. Thank you kindly, Ralph William O'Fallon y Rodriguez rwofallon@ij.net
