Angeline,
I'm not sure!
Actually, this is my husbands family. His grandfather was Ernesto Del Rio (b 14 Oct 1896, Tampa) who married Herminia Hernandez (b 11 Jan 1898, Cuba) in Tampa, Florida, 15 Feb 1915. His father was Atonio Del Rio, born in Madrid, Spain 21 Dec 1869.
Herminia's father was Julian Hernandez (b 24 June 1862, Cuba) and mother Mercedes Villaverde Pages (b 3 Aug 1865, Cuba). They married 5 June 1882 in Key West, Fl.
Mercedes Villaverde Pages had a sister names Tomasa (b 5 Jan 1866, Cuba) who married Rafael Hernandez Noda in New Orleans, La on 26 April 1877 and then Rafael Padron 10 Sept 1918 in Tampa, Fl. She died 20 June 1949 in Tampa, Fl.
Her death certificate says she was born 5 Jan 1866. This would have made her 11 when she married Rafael Hernandez Noda. I think the birth year on the death certificate is probably wrong but Rafael was born in 1942. Of course, this could have been a marriage of convenience!
The death certificate says her father was Francisco (Frank) Pages and mother Carmen Parez)
I still have a lot of work to do and since I don't know Spanish that well, it is very difficult.
(I have a picture of Tomasa and she was beautiful!)
I have a cousin who is also working on the family and says when the family came from Cuba they used the name Pages because it was more anglo! They were cigar makers and traveled wherever there was work. They fled Cuba during the Revolution, going to Louisiana.
Thanks for responding, I hope we have a connection! Please feel free to contact me at gldelrio@bellsouth.net.
