Synopsis

This guide touches on virtually every facet of its subject. The author has prepared informative chapters on "getting started," Spanish surnames, and a history of Cuba, to set the stage for his discussion of Cuban genealogical records. The meat of the book consists of separate chapters devoted to each of these pertinent record categories: notarial, land, census, passenger, slave, newspaper, commercial, military, consular, and cemetery. Still other chapters list Cuban archives, libraries, and genealogical societies; maps and atlases; "papeles procedentes de cuba," and listings of streets and barrios in Havana. Complete with a bibliography and subject index, "Guide to Cuban Genealogical Research" is the place to start your journey into Cuban family history.
