[edit] Children

Hello, I'm trying to find more info about José Martí's family. I know he had siblings, but did he have children? - --Rev. Austin 03:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he had children. I think the actor Cesar Romero was related. -- Beardo 22:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Jose Martí was his Romero's godfather. He (Romero) always claimed Marti was his grandfather but his legal parents were Carmen and Manuel Mantilla. Marti boarded with Romero's parents.[1].--Tales of the Gold Monkey 06:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Here http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/marti-1.htm regards Maria as his daughter.

Her two grand-daughters came to Cuba for a visit and were treated like descendants of Marti. (Though who were they - http://www.cubanow.net/global/loader.php?secc=5&cont=stories/num11/01.htm says daughters of Cesar Romero, but our article has him as a confirmed bachelor. -- Beardo 03:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

Jose Marti actually was born in Havana, in Calle Paula there is a museum at the house where he was born and is marked even the room where it happened.

That's true. He's born in Havanna! Please change that!

(141.76.176.45 15:41, 7 June 2007 (UTC))

Now changed. Thanks. Unnoticed vandalism. -- Beardo 05:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Jose Marti

There is some additional evidence that Marti and Maceo argued vigorously; this is based on first hand testimony of General Loynaz del Castillo. General del Castillo was very long lived and talked a lot. Some of this is mentioned in:

de Justiz y del Valle, Tomas 1953. Mayo 19 de 1895 Academia de la Historia de Cuba. Imprenta Sigle XX Havana.

I have more but you will need to wait for my book, Xe xe El Jigue 1-2-07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.65.188.149 (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Proposed merger

For the purposes of centralized discussion, please post your comments here. John Carter 19:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Internacional Meeting I have been reliably told of a meeting of International Republicans that took place in North America 1880-1890s between Jose Marti, Irish Republicans and others. Does anyone have information (outside of the 'Conferencias Internacionales Americanas') ?

For information on the IRB:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Republican_Brotherhood

[edit] why is this protected? and just where was he born?

first of all, why is the article protected? and just where was he born, the article says mexico with no city mentioned, and the sidebar says havana, Cuba -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.4.208.105 (talk • contribs) on 22:24, 10 June 2007

Protected because of frequent vandalism by anon ips. It is comon that vandalism reduces when an article is semi-protected.

The place of birth was wrong because a piece of vandalism had not been noticed. Thanks for the alert. -- Beardo 05:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

This page has been merged:

• 1) A prudent amount of time was given for this discussion
• 2) More importantly, we will honor Martí by working together for improving this article's quality for the Editorial 1.0

[edit] Untranslated Martί quotes

Would someone mind translating the four Martí quotes that are cited in the "as a translator" section? Many English-language readers of this article aren't proficient in Spanish.--Pinko1977 20:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
