Hi there, my name is Elsa Nieves. I am daughter of Ruth Caban, one of the daughters of Clotilde Caban, who my mom says that they originated in Moca, PR. later on they lived in Añasco, PR I have been searching the Caban family for some time now, to no avail, trying to find at least a 3rd or 4th cousin of my mom. She has always wanted to find a family member of hers. Mom as a little one migrated to NY with her parents and siblings in the late 40"s. I found my grandma Clotilde Caban at the time 25 yrs old in the 1930 census married to Pedro Cordero, my grandfather and living in Santurce, San Juan, I cant find her 1o years before when she was i 15 nor 5 yrs old even more back. but my grandpa yes living with his sister and bro in law, but not in the 1900 census, i guess it want completed that time. When they moved to New York, my mom remembers her mom writiin the 1930 where my mom was born in june 1940. ng to her dad Juan Caban living in Añasco, and receiving letters from him, being that he could not write, written by his other 2 daughters, Flora and Francisca Caban. Being that my mom was too young thats all she has of information. Clotilde pretty young in age,died of a massive heart attack when my mom was about 8 or 9 yrs old. She never had any info from them again and she does not remember her dad talking about them. My mom ruth Caban is 69 sick, her aunts are dead for sure, well that what i guess but her aunts must have had children and she's wants so much to find at least one. My mom is of very light very fair skin, long noses, clear eyes and light brown hair. Do u have any idea how i might be able to find at least hercousins. Please help if you can. I leave in PR for 10 years, all my life i lived in NJ and NY. If only I can reunite at least a cousin before my mom dies would be so awesome. thanks for your time. Dios te bendiga.. Waiting for a response Elsa married Batista
