Surnames: MORE
We are seeking for any More families. Our ancestors came from South of Spain. They were 3 brothers: one passed away, we beleive in his way back to Spain, some said in Panama other said in Mexico; the other brother went to Cuba and settle there,and we know two names of Mores in Cuba: Lito and Jose R More; the younguest of the brothers went to Colombia and that one is our great grand father. We are tracing our roots and would like to hear your history, because we are related. Our ancestor's name was Jose Elias More Isabona o Isabar. We have advanced in our search a lot, but we would like to know what you have that we do not know. In the name of the More family, thank you.

The meaning of the word Corvo is crow or raven, it's a well known surname in Portugal and Italy, I believe it originates from somewhere in southern europe but I've not been able to find out where from exactly.

My great grandfather is Jose More. He came from Spain to Cuba in the late 1800's or early 1900's. He had a son named Publio More. I'm looking for anyone who has more information on More descendants from Spain.

Hello from Spain.
This name is quite uncomon in Spain but there are a lot in Cuba. Think on the musician Beny Moré. His ancestor was a slave of a certain Moré. when manumisio arived the black got the name of his former master. And like him many more blacks, maybe hundreds. Thus, there are a lot of Moré in Cuba. Just check the telephone listing. So, if you are black or mulatto, your origin could be there.
If you are white, then consider that this Moré family (the slave master) was quite important in Cuba. Around 1850 they even got the nobility title, there is a Count of Casa Moré, quite powerful and prospanish during independence wars. It was a popular name, and many people simply adopted it. There was not social security numbers and cards in that time. When arriving to Cuba, if you wanted to be called anithing christian, nobody could tell you otherwise. Many people did just that, the same as when somebody arrived to Ellis Island. But there it was also a linguistic problem. Maybe your languaje was not understood there and they simply called you Peter.
If it is not your case (that could be in 15%) then you shuld chek in Cuba. I can tell you that i'm not related with you. Sole posibility is a illegitimated relation with a later legalisation without knowledge of my family. Very unlikely. If you know the town of your encastors in Cuba, check the local church registry. Everithing should be there.
can provide you more info in mercadosemergentes@hotmail.com

Surnames: More, Isabona
My grandfather's last name is More and I believe that his 2nd last name was Isabona. Coincidentally, I'm also related to a Jose R. More who was born in Cuba but he had no brothers only 1 sister. Please get in contact with me, I would like to hear about the information you have as I'm also trying to trace my family history.
