<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2676038, member: 76194&quot;]The interesting thing is my aunt has letters from my great-grandfather&#039;s oldest sister who stayed in Spain, written to him and dated from the late 1800s and early 1900s. They survived because my grandfather discovered and kept them after his dad passed away, and eventually passed the letters to his oldest daughter (my aunt) shortly before he died.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the letter exchanges we&#039;ve been able to piece a lot of the story. Apparently my great-grandfather and his youngest sister stole money from their mom so they could run away, and bought passages on a boat to Cuba. And a few years later their younger brother also stole money from her and he too fled to Cuba. For 3 out of her 4 children to have stolen money from her and ran away across the ocean to Cuba, she must have been one dreadful woman.</p><p><br /></p><p>That means that the coin I have was actually my great-great grandmother&#039;s coin before it was stolen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
