I am hoping that you can get that information from your mom. With regards to the Italian connection, I am assured by the genealogist which helped me to obtain these documents that the first Tapanes to reach Cuba was Carlo Tapanes (could have been Tapani/Trapanese) from Genoa Italy. While I can't dispute any hard facts that you may have regarding your particular branch, it would be great to see how the two branches perhaps originated from the same place. In any case, take care and let me know. Rolando Tapanes-Gongar
My grandfather was a CANNAVO born in Havana approx 1875. I cannot find any info on him but would be happy to learn more about the italian/cuban community in Cuba. Does anyone have anything?
