I am going to publish some of the comments we've gotten in this post. Hopefully this will make you feel connected and help your own family research!



1. Hello familia. My name is Luis Manuel Cubero Caban. My grandfather was one of the santeros, Manuel Caban. I came across this website looking into my ancestry and am very happy to come across this site. I will be moving to Puerto Rico later this year and I am surely going to look into my Caban family roots over there. Best wishes. Luis.

2. My Name is Marilyn Caban. My Father Waldemar Manuel Caban Garcia was from Aguadilla. My Grandfather Manuel Anotonia Caban was from Moca born 1898, My Great Great Grandfather was Francisco Caban born around 1840.

3. Hi my name is Israel Caban Jr. and i also was always curious about my last name and the only info i ever got from dad Israel Sr. was its french Jr., which left me saying thats not enough info for me to be satisfied. I know dad is from Moca P.R and i have met a few of his cousins which they all gave me similar answers, but i'm still wondering who was our first father

4. Hello, My name is Peter Seguí-Patiño, live in The Netherlands but originally from Puerto Rico. Have Caban ancestors in my family tree, but hardly any dates. My g.g.g.grandfather was José Caban married to Concepsión Marrero. Their son Ebaristo Caban Marrero( born Aguadilla , Puerto Rico) married María Genara Seguí Aldarondo. Their daughter my g.grandmaother was Everalda Caban Seguí born in 1845 in Isabela Puerto Rico. Should you have dates to go with these names it would be greatly appreciated. You can write to me at p.seguipatino@hotmail.com Thank you in advance.

5. Peter, I took a look at the census and think that Everalda probably had two siblings or more in Bo. Arenales Alto, Isabela-- Lugardo b. 1851 (Viudo) and Josefa, b. 1855 who was also married to a Juarbe. On PReb.com there's one child of Francisco Cabal m. Maria Concepcion Marrero Rosalia Cabal Marrero (1807-1827) m. Francisco Oival PReb.com- Aguada- Libro de Defunciones, Parroquia San Francisco de Assis de Aguada http://www.preb.com/documentos/aguada/dag27C.htm There were other Caban & Segui families in Aguadilla and Moca.
