I AM SEEKING INFORMATION FOR AN 85 YEAR OLD FRIEND WHO WANTS TO KNOW HIS FAMILY ANCESTRY COMING FROM CUBA. MY RESEARCH FOR HIM TO DATE TELLS ME THAT MY FRIENDS FATHER WAS RAMON ESTEBAN? DIAZ(FAMILY LORE SAYS THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS MIDDLE NAME BUT HE DIDN'T USE IT NOR DID HE KEEP THE SPELLING OF HIS NAME AS RAMON) BORN
DECEMBER 26, 1896 IN PALMIRA, SANTA CLARA CUBA. HE CAME TO NEW YORK JUNE 14, 1914 AND WAS TO ATTEND BUSINESS SCHOOL IN KINGSTON, N.Y. HE RETURNED TO CUBA AND ON RETURNING IN 1917. ON THE SHIP MANIFEST IT LISTS HIS RELATIVE IN CUBA AS ONE LEOPOLDO DIAZ. ON THE 1820 CENSUS HE IS LIVING IN KINGS COUNTY BROOKLYN N.Y. WITH A WIFE MYRTLE WEEKS AND ALSO ON THE CENSUS MYRTLES SIBLINGS ARE LIVING WITH THEM. THOSE SIBLINGS ARE HOLLY, EARL, GRANT,AND RUTH WEEKS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THESE WEEKS PARENTS ARE BUT THE WEEKS SAID THEY COME FROM THE ULSTER COUNTY KINGSTON-SAUGERTIES N.Y. AREA.
BY THE TIME THE 1930 CENSUS WAS TAKEN THE RAMON & MYRTLE DIAZ FAMILY HAD MOVED TO CHICAGO. GRANT AND RUTH WENT WITH THEM AND LIVED WITH THEM IN 1930, BUT MYRTLES BROTHERS HOLLEY AND EARL WEEKS REMAINED IN BROOKLYN, N.Y. AND MARRIED AND ON THE 1930 CENSUS THERE.
SINCE RAMON DIAZ WAS CATHOLIC I FEEL THAT EVEN IF HE WAS AN ORPHAN HE WAS CHRISTENED AND IN THOSE BAPTISMAL RECORDS COULD LEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF KNOWING HIS PARENTAGE.
ANY AND ALL INFORMATION ON THIS RAMON DIAZ AND MYRTLE WEEKS LINE IS WELCOME. I AM HELPING THIS MAN FOR NOTHING BECAUSE HE WANTS VERY MUCH TO LEAVE WITH HIS TWO SONS INFORMATION ON THEIR FAMILY HISTORY, SINCE HE HAD NONE HIMSELF. PLEASE HELP ME TO HELP HIM.
