These Pimientas en Guane can also be related to the Diaz-Pimientas who settle in Guane, Mantua, las Catalinas, Grifa, and Cortes since the 1600s perhaps ealier. The hero Maria Isabel Rubio Diaz was the daughter of Maria Prudencia Diaz y Diaz-Pimienta and Dr. Rubio.

Hi, just started searching. My paternal grandmothers name was Clodomira de Armas Pimienta and she was born in 1905. She was born Guane. She was separated from parents at an early age and brought up my a family called Duarte. Needless to say do not have much information. I do know that she meet up with a sister by the name of Cristina in Miami later in life. Please let me know if you have any information that can help, and will keep you posted on what I find out. PS I did hear that my great grandmother did move to Guatemala and married a man called Julio Iglesias and lived into her 90s. However I do not know her name.

Thanks,

Marc

Looking for information regarding my grandfather Atanasio (Nacho) Pimienta. He was born May 2, 1904 or 1906 in Tecolotlan, Jal., Mexico. His father's name I believe was Cristobal Pimienta who came from Spain or maybe the Canary Islands. I know he had siblings that were still in Mexico but as now I don't have any info on them. If anyone can help I would love it.

Hello - I too am researching family... My husband's grandfather was Alexander Marcos Pimienta. It is our understanding that he was born in 1911 in South America (possibly Columbia) and came to the US, lived in New York before relocating to CA. He died in 1970, was a war veteran and is buried in the Veteran Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA.

IF you have any additional information, I'd LOVE to have it! I am only able to find a SS death information and nothing else on him! Also searching for information on his daughter, Evelyn Marie Pimienta, my Mother-In-Law, born in France. I've just begun my search and I'm very excited to find the number of people doing these searches and locating "missing" relatives!

My grandmother's mother was Andrea Pimienta. The Pimientas lived in or around the Guane/Mendoza/Mantua region of Pinar del Rio. There may be other Pimientas in other parts of Cuba. The ones in the area I mentioned are related.

I have been trying to research my family for years this is the the first time I heard about the Jewish heritage.
My grandfather was Ralphael Pimienta from a small village in Colombia. He came to the US with the merchant marines in around 1910 or so. Please tell me how you found the Jewish connection, Im very interested.

Pimienta information

Well I began to do a little more indepth research into the my mother's family name and I came out with some intresting stuff.
Apparently the name Pimienta is Spanish (duh) and the family came from Portugal. They were Jewish and were forced into exile or they had to change there
name in accordance with the law. This name was a single famile and anyone with the name Pimienta is related. Afterwards the family got big into the military
because this would give them power. They immigrated to Cuba, Mexico, and South America because they would be given a higher status in these newly forming countries.
The family also liked to gamble and they lost a lot of money and power because of this problem. Perhapes that is why the immigrated to these new colonies?
If anyone has any further information please contact me at Bluephox@aol.com.
Thank You.
