The Mira family was represented in Key West as early as 1830/1840s.

My maternal great-great grandmother (my maternal grandfather's grandmother) was Manuela Mira, a resident of Key West prior to 1850. She married Julio Guiterrez. They had several daughters, one was Blanca who married Tomas Reyes. They in turn had numerous children, one of whom was my grandfather, Hector Reyes. He often spoke of being related to the Miras (but we never paid much attention at the time!). They were all life-long residents of Key West. I was born and raised in Key West simultaneously with George Mira & his younger brother Jimmy (The 1950s-60s) though slightly younger. George, in fact, married the first cousin of the huband of my first cousin.

I'm always interested in degrees of separation. Would love to hear from any Key West/Tampa connections to Reyes, Guiterrez, Fraga, Canalejo, Mira, Lopez, Macia, Sola, Valdez.

Most dominant migration appears to have been both Spain to Cuba to Key West & Tampa; and Spain directly to Key West.
