Hello, Mr. Rosales. I am researching this same group! I believe my grandfather's family is from that group. The mobile Spanish Creoles. Im a direct descendant of The Arenals of Spain and Colonial Cuba.
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather's great grandfather Simon Arenal arrived in New Orleans in 1847 a tobacco planter from old havana. His heirs are from Mobile. The del Arenals of Spain. We all relocated from Mobile during the Civil War to an Indian Trading post called Gainestown. Later moving back to New Orleans and Texas. Simon fathered a tri racial lineage. He had a group of 13 Arenal Families show up after the Spanish American War in 1910. All of a sudden they became designated as "Cuban".
You may help me find the answer to what type of Spanish Creole Barrio this was in Mobile. If you can please let me know how I can email you.
Sincerely, Zambo Habanero
