 Introduction
Through the generosity and effort of Alvaro R. Cosculluela we are pleased to be able to present the work "Family History - Wilson, Miyares & Valiente" by Ricardo Wilson y Miyares (deceased in Habana in 1951). The final manuscript of this unique work was hand produced in ink and illuminated in color by a group of monks in Portugal, in the year 1940. The book was dedicated by the author to his niece, Carmen Villalon y Wilson de Cosculluela.
The original book, consisting of 451 pages, was commercially scanned at his own expense and is now made available for the first time for personal non-commercial use, by Carmen's son and grand-nephew of the author, Alvaro R. Cosculluela.
The book has never been published, although parts of the content may be known by some genealogists to whom the author or his family may have shown some documents.
The book contains, not only data on the principal and related families, but also data about Cuban History and, in particular, data about the original families that populated Santiago de Cuba
Certain parts of the book are written in English, mainly those related to the Wilsons. The rest is written in Spanish.
