Yesterday I came across a distant family member on ancestry that had uploaded a book called The Book of Blood. It is interesting because it documented the deaths of the Cuban people that were killed by the Spanish during the war for independence for Cuba during 1869-1871. The book was matter of fact, written in the early 1900's. What was interesting is that the common ancestor listed that had been killed was Quintillo Villareal, which is probably why I hadn't been able to locate his date and place of death. Hopefully with a little more research I can prove he is the same Villareal as ours.
