CUBA: Untapped Lineages

My father's father, Julio Laurent, was the Chief of Naval Intelligence under Fulgencio Batista. After Castro's regime took over, my grandparents fled with my father and his brother to the United States, and since then, my family tree has been unable to dive into my Cuban roots. I also have found this page on my grandfather:

Hi Chase, tracing our Cuban heritage is starting to become easier with time. Family Search is trying to get in and start indexing on the island and has recently asked for volunteers. Here are some links to help you get started:

Diario de la Marina (To search, under buscar write what you’re searching for. Under titulo put Diario de la Marina.):
http://prensahistorica.mcu.es/es/consulta/busqueda.cmd
Online book archives: archive.org and books.google.com - search using “quotations” ie. “Juan Ponce de Leon” Cuba. There are a lot of books online for researching.
I also suggest if you are not already a member, to join our Facebook Group Cuban Genealogy / Genealogia Cubana

Thank you! A friend of mine got nowhere on Ancestry and Familysearch. Her family came from Spain to Cuba and then to the US due to Castro's regime. This might finally help get through the brick walls!
