My name is Suzanne, I am doing research for a friend at work who has this name, as does his father. There is an oral story in his family that they are descended from the famous freedom fighter of the same name. I am trying to research this for him. Not being of cuban ancestry myself, I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the direction where I can research, or if anyone knows if a family tree already exists for him. I would appreciate any help . thank you. My email is
