Surnames: Riudavets, Ruidavets, Redavats
Hope to find information on Riudavets family migration from Menorca to Cuba and then possibly to the USA. Looking at the time period 1820-1870. One immigrant was named Josep RIUDAVETS LLADO. Family lore says that he came from Cuba to NYC and made a living as a tobacconist before later returning to Cuba. His brother John Redavats (1802-1864) joined the US navy as a carpenter on a man o' war, and ended up in Dutchess County, NYS.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
