Hello Ms. Cooley,
Thank you so much for your message. While I am sure that at some level we are related (I've always been told that all Tapanes' stemmed from the same trunk), I do not have a direct connection to a Eugenio Tapanes. Me may very well be a cousin of my grandfathers given the DOB.B. My grandfathers name was Gabriel Tapanes and he was the son of a Valentin Tapanes-Estupinan. Valentin was born around 1880 and in turn was the son of Gabriel Tapanes and his wife's maiden name was Estupinan ( I have her full name just not presently). If Eugenio was either nephew to Valentin or grandson to Gabriel, then indeed there is a link. Let me know if you have information going back this far that might confirm/deny this information. I am awaiting some documents from a genealogist that I work with which will probably go this far back. If I find anything I will let you know.
Take care,
Rolando Tapanes-Gongar
