Great. This is certainly progress. Do you have info further back?

The only additional info I can provide is the following:
Luis Felipe Oscar Lay y Rousseau, Fort y Dinguel was from the "French Guarico" on the Dominican Republic on his paternal line and from New Orleans on the maternal.

Francisca Juliana Lynn y Georovich, Addison y Montalvan, was from the U.S.A. on her paternal line and the Republic of Ragusa which was a maritime republic centered on the city of Dubrovnik in Dalmatia (today in southermost Croatia)on her maternal line.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you!

Looking for further info re:

mother of Elena Yurubi Montalvan de Lynn and Mercedes Crecencio Yurubi Montalvan de Fox

said to be Elena Sergene of Ragusa, Dalmatia, Italia who married Andres Giurovich (Yurubi/Georovich) also of Ragusa

and info on husband(s) of Elena Yurubi -- Sr. Spottorno and Sr. Guillermo Sarjant Lynn y Addison

and Elena's daughter, Maria Spotorno de Prats (wife of Capitan Francisco Prats y Cendra / Cindra )

These families were active in the Ten Years' War, 1968-78; Elena seems to have been the mother of revolutionary cabecilla Juan Bautista Spottorno, interim president of Cuba. Any info on him would be appreciated as well. Both were arrested by the Spanish authorities in 1870.

Here's the info I have on Juan Bautista Spotorno. Borne in Trinidad on sept. 13, 1832, died in Trinidad on oct. 29th, 1917. His parents were of italian descent.
Spent some early years in Europe and the United States, where he started medical school but did not finish.
Upon his return to Cuba he was an active participant in the aborted conspiracy of 1851 led by Isidoro de Armenteros in Trinidad. Armenteros and two of his co-conspirators were executed by the spanish authorities. Along with Federico Cavada marched to Camaguey with a force of armed men to join major general Ignacio Agramonte y Loinaz in the war.

He was elected to the Camara de Representantes and later became its president. He replaced Salvador Cisneros as Presidente de la Republica en Armas. After the war of 68 he stayed away from politics for some years and then joined the Partido Autonomista and opposed the revolution of 1895 le by Jose Marti, thinking that it was best for Cuba to co-exist legally with the spanish regime.

One of my ancestors, Tomas Cantero, served as an officer under his command.

I know that I have some information on Guillermo Sarjant Lynn, however I'm going to need a little time to dig it out.

Great, thanks.

I have also learned that his maternal line, from the Republic of Ragusa, Dalmatia (then controlled by Italy), may have been "Giurovich" originally. It was then rendered in various ways in Spanish: sometimes as Yurubi, sometimes Georovich, sometimes Zerubi.

There is some very good information in Historia de Trinidad, available on the web, demontrating connections between the families Fox, Lynn, Spotorno, Yurubi, Montalvan.

Yes, I have read the information contained in "Historia de Trinidad" by Marin Villafuerte.

I am pretty sure that Guillermo Serjant y Lynn and Elena Yurubi (Georovich)Montalvan were the parents of Francisca Juliana Lynn y Georovich (Yurubi)whose daughter Ana Elena Luisa, married my ancestor Manuel Jesus Cantero e Iznaga.

Manuel Jesus was a cousin of my grandmother.

Ah, then we are related.

In some extremely complicated way.
