Hello. I am looking to find out about the origins of my paternal side of the family which is Popa. My father and his family migrated to the U.S. from Dominican Republic. It is said that his paternal grandfather originated from Cuba, yet had a weird accent- and was believed to have been from Europe. He was of a fair complexion. I am not sure if he was even from Cuba. However, I would like to find out how my family acquired the last name Popa and how they landed in the Dominican Republic.My family are all mixed with European and African descent. I have searched from some random Popa's and some seem to have similar traits as those of my family; such as the smile, eyes, and dimples. If it helps- my paternal grandmother explained that all of the Popa's (at least in our family) have a certain kind of birthmark.
