Mirelis Peraza, CGC Director, has authored and shared a report on the Pope’s Cuban Ancestry.
“Within hours of his election, the world became immediately immersed in finding out more about the new Supreme Pontif. Efforts to know and understand the man who had just become the new global leader of the Catholic Church absorbed the media.
The ancestry reports we came across uncovered seven generations of relatives that ended with Manuel José Ramos y Bastos, son of Vicente Ignacio Ramos and María Bastos. They are the Cuban-born fourth and fifth great-grandparents of Pope Leo XIV. In this report, we expand that line, uncovering three more generations of Cuban ancestors and the corners of the world from where they originated.”
