Lesson Learned: The story of the Puig Family of Cuba

Lesson Learned: The story of the Puig Family of Cuba

Today I interviewed Luis Tomas Puig as he recounts his family search dating back to 1600.  A trip to Blanes, a village only an hour North of Barcelona, Spain  awakened his curiosity further as he reconnects with his Grandfather's family, a family he had never met. During the trip, he visited cemeteries, churches and collected pictures of his great-grandfather and other ancestors. He learned he was related the DiPuig families of France and Italy and that the line connects with the Germans and Austrians. With a sample of his raw DNA, he was able to uncover his ancient ancestors. Luis, a military man with 20 years of service deicide to go further and wrote a memoir about his family and the struggles while living in communist Cuba. A rish family legacy he will leave for his descendants. Don't miss this fascinating episode!
