This might just be coincidence, but just before reading this NG I was looking in soc.genealogiy.france and saw the post below ( it caught my attention because I have Suárez relatives, born in Cuba around 1880-90). Good luck, Gene Alvarez - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am a 19 year old male looking for information on last name Suarez. I've been trying to look for info but what I know about it is that the last name appears in my family about 2 generations back. I was told that, is my great grand fathers last name and that he came from Europe, somewhere around France. I was told that he was looking for his son which was my grandfather. He was looking for him in Puerto Rico so he could take him to France I think. If you have any info please email me at [email protected] or [email protected] I just want to know whats my back round. I would like to find out what other nationalities make me who I am. Please help or if you have anything that may help me please email me.
