I'm gathering information on the Martel/Martell family tree that came from Cuba. From what I have gathered so far (and details are still to come) is that two priests went from France in the 1800's to Cuba to spread the word. One of them fell in love with a local Cuban girl and thus began the Martel / Martell line in Cuba. I have a bit of info, details will be comming in as soon as I get together with recent relatives that arrived from Cuba. If you have any info; please contact me to see how it can be incorporated into to bigger picture.
