Hello: I have news about your family. Your great grand mother Matilde Downing was not from Ireland. She was born in Saint Louis, MO from Sabina Selva -a Nicaraguan- and Alexander Downing a colonel of Irish descent. Nicaraguan presidents such as Vicente Cuadra Lugo (your great great grand father) Benjamin Lacayo Sacasa, Juan Bautista Sacasa, Luis Somoza Debayle and Anastasio Somoza Debayle, all share one common ancestor: Jose Antonio de la Quadra born in 1718 in Granada, Nicaragua. The origen of the name Cuadra or Quadra or De la Quadra originated in the province of Vizcaya in Spain. One of the noblest of families that came to America, they settled in Cuba, Peru, Chile and Nicaragua. In the early exploration of the British Columbia you will find a Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra and George Vancouver's wonderful relationship despite their goverment differences and how Quadra was the best and noblest of friends. Upon his death, Vancouver was in great distress and his men cried as if they had lost one of their own. To honor their friendship an island was named Quadra Vancouver that was later shortened to Vancouver, but was finally named Quadra Island. Such is the noble character of the Cuadra name. You can contact me at ocdowning@msn.comWarmest regards.

Hi Leonel, gracias por tu respuesta. Yo habia oido hablar de vos de mi padre, no se si sabes que ya fallecio. La vez pasada estuve en contact con Norman Caldera que el or alguien de su familia esta haciendo el arbol geneologico de la familia Etienne y yo le mande todos los nombres de mi parte de la familia. Yo se tambien que mis primos Guillermo y Maria Jose Ramirez Cuadra estuvieron en contacto con el tambien, asi que no estaria mal que la senora Mimiya se pusiera en contacto con el. Mucho gusto de hablar contigo, nosotros vivimos en Tampa Fl por si algun dia andas por aca. La muchacha que conocistes en AAirlines es la hija de mi hermano Donald Cuadra. Hasta luego y buena suerte

In reply to the post of Aj40ibc....in your post you meantion the names Cuadra and Bautista. I have both of the last names my father is Cuadra and my mother is Bautista they are both from a small town called Ario De Rayon in the state of Michoacan in the country of Mexico my father told me that the Cuadra family came from Spain but he did not know much about it. My family lives in St.Louis, Missouri.I am 27 years old You mentioned the countries that the Cuadra ansestors migrated to and I assume that somehow they ended up in Mexico also I am hoping that I have some tipe of connection with you r story being that I have both of those last names that you mentioned. My best wishes. Maria Cuadra Bautista
