I always thought my father's family was from Aguada de Pasajeros, Las Villas, Cuba. I just received my grandfather's baptismal certificate and discover the following:
His mother was Teresa Leiva (from Camarones, Guantanamo). Teresa's parents were Jose Jesus Leiva and Maria de la Concepcion Rangel (I assume they were also from Camarones). By the way Teresa was born Abt. 1855. Any help!!

Mi bisabuela, Teresa Leiva nacio en Camarones, Guantanamo alrededor de 1855. Sus padres eran Jose Jesus Leiva y Maria de la Concepcion Rangel. Alguna ayuda?!!?

I have a Juan Fernandez-Leyva in one branch, from Oriente province, born 1859. His brother, Antonio, served in the Mambi army, but his name is listed as LEIVA. So be aware of the different possibilities when researching this name.

Thanks for the response.
I have been unable to find any information on the PRUNA's, maybe you can help.
All I have is my grandmother, Gumercinda Pruna, was married to Alfredo Carballosa, around the turn of the century. They lived in Banes, Oriente. I have no idea if she was born there or in Santiago or even Holguin. I was in Banes in November and I knocked on some doors, none of the Prunas would talk to me.
I understand some Prunas went to the US in the 40's and I think they went to PA and the Carolinas.
If you have any more info, let me know,
Thanks,
Martha Moreira

My wife's family is from Santiago de Cuba. Her maternal great grand mother was Maria Concepcion PRUNA y Santa Cruz married in 1860 to Vicente de Jesus Martinez y Betancourt.

Also on her maternal side another great grand mother, also from Santiago de Cuba was Ismaela LEIBA married to Francisco Cruz.

Just wondering if her PRUNA's have any relationship to yours.

My husband's family is from Holguin. He also has family ing Miami.
