Oswaldo, I had forgot about El Cid. Yes, and Dona Ximena moved to live with the monks of San Pedro de Cardena. The campeador then made his pilgrimage from Burgos to Cardena to promise Ximena that he would oversee the marriage of the two young girls. "Apriessa cantan los gallos e quieren crebar albores, quando llego a San Pedro el buen Campeador" if you studied pre-Castillian Spanish and read "Poema Del Cid". El Poema del Cid....hadn't read it since the 8th grade. The Cuban duel story is very interesting. Geneaology is a fascinating subject for study. Although Lozano is not as common name as Hernandez and Campos (my maternal grandmother was a Hernandez) there have been numerous contacts between the 2 surnames, including at least one reported matrimony in South Carolina noted in the Lozano family Geneaology forum. The Lesesnes are primarily a transplanted PR and USVI French Huguenot family, there were definite possibilities of Cuban contact that Ashley may cast light upon for us. Cuba is such a crossroads of surnames. Even a name like Irvin Wladawsky-Berger is that of a native Cubano who emigrated to the United States and became a well known part of the information technology community.
