Re: BORREGO’s and ACOSTA’s Genealogy,
Spain, Cuba, and USA. email: soflam2003@yahoo.com

Any information would be greatly appreciated, research and / or comments. I’m doing this for my daughter Isabella Adelaida Borrego, she is very special to me.

My maternal great grandmother is ANA ACOSTA RAMON, ( decd of Canary islands ) two of her daughters are America ACOSTA and ADELAIDA ACOSTA - BORREGO, my grandmother. She last lived in San Antonio de Los Banos, Cuba. I recall conversation with her, where she stated that her mother was from Santa Cruz de La Palma, Canary Islands. They also owned a grocery store called “El Brillante” in Cuba. My grandfather FELIX Borrego worked at one of the Centrales as a “Maestro Azucar” in the “Provincia de Matanzas”. We lived in San Antonio de Los Banos, and have relatives ( Borrego’s and Acosta’s ) in Santiago de las Vegas and Guira de Melena both in La Havana province.

Statistical migratory patterns for the Borrego’s seems to suggest the following cities; Madrid-Alcalá , Valladolid, Leon, Gijon, Santa Cruz de La Palma-Canary Islands, Cuba - ( San Antonio de Los Banos, Santiago de las Vegas and Guira de Melena ), and the United States ( Florida, Louisiana and California.) We left Cuba from Jose Marti National Airport in 1968. Suggestions on primary and /or secondary sources would be great, i.e. ships / airline - logs manifest, government sources, church records. Thank you, in advance for your response.

Regards,
Santos Alberto Borrego
