Correspondence 10/4/99
I found my ancestor (great grand uncle) Thomas William BEATTIE, merchant. He was born 1853 in Santiago de Cuba. I do not have much information on him, I am searching. He probably married an American lady from South Africa. Perhaps one boy died in the war. Thomas is the son of Richard Hudson Beattie, born probably Dumfries/Scotland and died 1884 Torquay/Devon and Marie Isabel BROOKS. This couple married in Santiago de Cuba and had 9 children. Helene from France
