SEARCHING FOR.....Martinez/Rodriguez

Classification: Query
Surnames: Martinez, Rodriguez, Cooper, Montgomery
I am the fifth generation of Cuban heritage in my family. I am not 100% certain what our surname is because there was miscommunication when my great-great grandfather came to the United States. The last name was either Martinez or Rodriguez, however when he arrived in the United States and imigration asked his last name he responded "Cuba", thinking he was being asked where he came from. Imigration informed him that his name was "Cooper" because they did not understand. He had a daughter that was my great-grandmother. Her name was Marian Claire Cooper-Montgomery. I don't know if she had brothers or sisters, however I think she did. My great-great grandfather did have siblings, unfortunately I don't know their names either. Any clues or help would be greatly appreciated. Even if I don't have any Cuban relatives still living, it would be great to know anyhting about my heritage. I love my culture (African-American with a Cuban background) and want to know more. Much, much more.
