i need the information on the three brothers mir.one of them
is my gt.gt.grandfather luis ? mir? married to a women by the name of ? garcel i need to know about her ,is very important to us.thank you for that information .delio mir

los tres hermanos (mir)uno es mi familia

My grandfather's name was Raul Ruiz Pupo from Banes, Oriente.His father was from Spain, but his mother was born in Cuba. I don't know anything else about my great grandmother.

will like more info on the garcel family in oriente.

I would love to share the information I have. I made a mistake, though, I am the 2nd great grandson or Tatara nieto of Luis Mir (I think). Until the revolution, our family was still working the land in and around Mir. I recently came from there and have pictures, although I don't think you will agree it is a big, bustling town. My uncle, Ediberto Mir was the last to own any land before the revolution. His father (also Ediberto Mir) had a brother name Belarmino (spelling?) who still has relatives in Mir today. I have pictures of both. My cousin, Hector Jose Mir, may have pictures of Luis Mir. If all this is rings true to you then we are "parientes". I heard of another Mir who was a printer in San German where Don Berlarmino would get his stationary printed(He, Don B., had an almecen or general store). I visited Don Berlarmino's daughter, Amalia, in Havana. She is in her eighties. I visited a lot of relatives and, along with my cousin Hector Jose, we are trying to come up with a family tree of the Mirs. Again I would love the opportunity to share any and all information at my disposal, share with you my trip to Cuba to find out more about my / our family and any pictures I took while traveling there.

Su muy sincero servidor,

Dear Michael
Our great grandfather, Louis Mir, gave the land so the railroad could have a place for a depot and station under one condition that the station be called Mir. From that the town developed as we know the town of Mir which I heard is quite large now. I have much more information which I would love to share with you pertaining to our great grandfather who came from Gerona, Spain. He married a French woman of noble birth and they moved to Holguin, Oriente, Cuba. circa 1848 Please feel free to write to me. mirfamily1@msn.com

I am the great grandson of the Mir's in Cuba for which the town of Mir (between Holguin and Buenaventura) is named. I am looking for information about my ancestory and would be will to share the sparse information I have.

Dear Delio Mir II,

I spoke with my mother, who grew up in Mir and Holguin, and she seems to remember that her father's uncle, Don Berlarmino Mir, donated the land to the rail road company and not Luis. She remembers that it was more out of gratitude, than by condition, that the station was called Mir. Don Berlarmino also lived at Martí 27 in Holguin, one block away from the Galixto Garcia Central Park. My mother can't recall if Luis was Don Berlarmino's brother or cousin, but she seems pretty sure that it wasn't Luis who donated the land. Because many of our relatives names repeat (Ediberto, Belarmino, Luis, Jose etc.) generation after generation, your assistance would be a lot of help to clarify the exact relationships. Thanks.
