Will,
Sorry to dissapoint you but the Rootsweb list originates in the US. We
have had no contributions from Cuba and I doubt if anyone reads it from
there (at least I don't see any ".cu" e-mail addresses in our distribution)
Ed

P.S. I suggest you also post a surname query in the Cuba surname query bbs.
You can find instructions at <http://www.cubagenweb.org/bbs.htm>;
