Surnames: Estévez Valdés Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kRC.2ACE/1149.407.408.568.1569.1720.2.1 Message Board Post: Stephen, I know of two other Estévez who lived in Key West around the 1880s (maybe earlier, maybe beyond the 80s): Julia and Sofía Estévez Valdés. Sofía was born in 1848 in Camagüey. Julia was also born in Camagüey but I am not sure of the year though it has to be close. I don´t know whether they are related to Enrique but certainly the year of birth and Camagüey are key similarities that could point to that. Julia was my great-great-grandmother and Sofís, her sister, was a famous poet. Maybe someone in your family has heard of a relative being a famous poet? That´s how I first heard about Sofía and later research helped me find who she was out. Julia married Virgilio Cordero and Sofía married Mariano Rodríguez. Again, in case anyone in your family recalls having distant relatives with those last names.
