I am seeking information on the Perez name form TAmpa. My grandfather was Joseph Quirino Morales and married Pricilla Perez. They had 9 children; Joseph, Mabel, Estella, Zoila, Alice and etc. Do you have any info on this line. Thanks.

Mary,
Thanks for asking about my Perez family in Tampa. Unfortunately, there were many many Perez families in Tampa around the time my folks came here, the late 1890's and early 1900's. None of your folks' names are in my family. My great-grandfather Alfredo Perez (b. 1859) came to Tampa in the late 1890's with wife Juana Maria Sosa. They had only 2 males that survived past infancy. One, my grandfather Justo Alfredo Perez b. 1896 had only one child, my dad. The other son of Alfredo was Ricardo Luis Perez b. 1903 in Tampa. He had only two daughters.. The other chidlren of Alfredo Perez and Juana Maria Sosa were Amelia, Juana Maria, Inez, and Otilia. I've accounted for all their children as well. My great-grandfather's parents were Vicente Perez (b. 1835 d. 1889) and Carmen Morales (b. 1841 d. 1920). As far as I know, they never left Cuba, although I have a suspicion that Carmen may have been in Key West when she died. I know nothing else of Vicente & Carmen other then their exact birth and death dates, and the names of their 16 children, which include my great grandfather Alfredo. Of those 16 children, I've only been able to trace descendants of one, Maria Irmenia Perez, sister of Alfredo. And this is only because Maria Irmenia Perez (she married Eladio Lima) had a daughter who married a son of Alfredo (Ricardo Luis), a first cousin marriage. Without the birth year of your Priscilla, I can't really tell if she could be a daughter of one of Alfredo's brothers. (But since I don't have any info on those brothers other than their names and birth dates, all I can do is rule out Priscilla on the basis of her birth year, or say, yes, her age would allow it.) All this you can see at my web page at http://www.members.aol.com/landolutz Sorry I couln't be of more help! -Dan-O

My grandmother was Josefa Grave de Peralta Garcia, She is the great grand daughter of Julio Grave de Peralta, She was married to my Grandfather Ramon Garcia.My father and his brothers and sisters live in Texas

I have Isidoro GRAVE de PARALTA married with Paula GARCIA. Their son is Pedro GRAVE de Peralta y GARCIA married Antonia DUBUCQ RIVERY y BOURY b. 1826 in santiago de Cuba and probably 2th marriage with MUNOZ Isabel. I do not know brothers and sisters of Pedro.
My leads are slims.

I met a Jose Parra in Tampa Florida in 1989. He was elderly and had been US for many years. He was originally from Banes Oriente Cuba.

My family is from Guantanamo. My grandfather was born in Baracoa, Cuba.

To Helene, I saw your message on the board and wonder if you could help me find my ancestors. My grandfather's family was from Santiago de Cuba. His name was Dametrio Ernesto Despaigne Grave de Peralta and his brother was Leoncio Despaigne Grave de Peralta. Please let me know if you know anyone that was related to them.

I'm looking for information about my fathers family. His name was Juan Dotta y Grave de Peralta, he was born in Santiago de Cuba.
He is cousins with Despaigne, Rivery or Riverie

If you care to share information please e-mail me.

Sincerely,
Maria Ward
