My grandfather-Pedro Sabatier, was born in Las Martinas, Cuba in 1912. He was one of 5 or 6 brothers and 2 sisters, I don't have the names in front of me right now, but i can get them. I have a lot of information on my grandfather's immediate family, but not a whole lot on earlier generations. Legend in my family has it, that a good part of Las Martinas was populated by a Colombian woman who had approx. 8 children, all engendered by different men and each child carrying the last name of the respective fathers. One of her children was fathered by a French pirate surnamed "Sabatier." I am not sure how accurate the "legend" is, however we did run into a doctor in Miami who was caring for my grandfather on his deathbed. Her family was from the same area in Cuba as my grandfather, and they traced their roots to the same Columbian woman. I believe the Doctor's last name was Lamas, but again i am not 100% on this ( if you're interested i can find out her name for sure). i would be more than happy to share any further info i have, i am pretty sure that we are somehow related.
