Teresa, Your posting has prompted me to seek out the genealogy of Jose Julian Marti from the Internet, and present it in a convenient to view format. There are several good websites concerning his family, seemingly reputable and well-researched, but I can't vouch for the accuracy. Most sites seem to agree with this info. I've included source notations also. This can now be viewed at: http://www.gencircles.com/users/dannyperez/4/data/1 I've also included info on his alleged daughter Maria Mantilla; the mother of Cesar Romero the actor. I don't confirm or deny this, only presenting what I've found in some biographical notes. I only learned of this today while gathering Jose Marti's genealogy. As for the church of Jose Marti's baptism, you can see some recent photos of it at: http://www.cubafotos.net/cubafotos5.htm http://www.faithfuldeliveries.com/cubapics6.htm (This page also shows the house in which he was born.) None of the web pages I've seen so far mention any genealogical relationship between Antonio Maceo and Jose Marti. Could be maybe because nobody has undertaken to look for one?
