  6. My husband is Cuban. We want to register our baby, but they're asking for the certificate of the birth certificate. We got married in Cuba and we have the documents. To register, they ask for the certification, but we don't know where to go, whether it's the Cuban consulate in Mexico or the Mexican Foreign Relations office in Cuba. Could you please guide me?
    Thank you!!

    • I think your question, or rather your case, is a bit incomplete and confusing, so I have several questions. First: Where was the baby born and where do they want to register her? And what certificate are they asking for? Since you're not referring to a specific one, and considering that a certificate and a record are relatively the same, they refer to the registry document recorded in a public civil registry. They can be anything from marriage certificates, death certificates, birth certificates, and even criminal records. So, if you could explain that better, I could help you with your case.

  9. Hello, my name is Alma Barada, I am a genealogist and my paternal family is from Cuba, I am Puerto Rican
    My father, Eugenio Barada, was born in Marianao, but I don't have much information to request his birth certificate. He died in 2006 here in Florida. However, I need to have the birth certificate. He was born on November 2, 1939. His mother, or my grandmother, was named Alejandrina Martinez, and my grandfather was Domingo Barada. I actually need several documents from my ancestors, like my great-great-grandfather and his siblings. I want to know who came to Cuba and started my family. Is there any way I can request everything I need?

    Thank you, I look forward to your prompt reply. My email address is [email protected]
