I am pretty sure they are related, but as I understand the story the Trelles went to Ybor City and New
Orleans around the 186...(during the 10 yr war in Cuba) my g-g-grandfather's relatives were exiled either in Ybor City or New
Orleans. My g-g-father went to New
Orleans. I dont really know if they were cousins or brothers, but definetly they were related. My g-g-father was an attorney, but there were a lot of doctors in that family. If you have dates or other information let me know. thanks.
