Cordona, Rosita Maria

  • Add
  • By CarrolUllrich44 | Thu, 2013-06-27 12:15

    This may be the wrong place to ask this and if so, I apologize. I have a problem and since I neither read nor write Spanish, I am in a quandry.

    Rosita Maria Cordona was supposedly born ca Bet. 11 Oct 1909 - 1912 Spanish Honduras,(Bonnacca, Honduras). When she was about 9-10, supposedly her father (no name) died while working on Suez Canal, and she was sent to America with a Fermina Kirkconnell family to get an education. However, after finding the person I believe to be Rosita arriving Apr 4 1920 with that family on Ship: Emma Belliveau (ship sailed March 18 1920 from Bonacco, Honduras), through Cuba arriving in Tampa, FL and again July 11 1925 as Rorsita (last name illegible on original) I have no link of Rosita to the Kirkconnell family in US. Do find Rosita in 1930 maid, living 7709 Central Ave., Tampa, FL; in 1934 as cook 212 East Ross Avenue, Do, Tampa, FL; April 1935 living with the Eatons 80 Vandeventer Place, St Louis, St Louis City, Missouri; April 1940 as a cook living with the Eatons at 80 Vandeventer Place, St Louis, St Louis City, Missouri; married 26 Dec 1940 Hot Springs, Garland, Arkansas to R
    oman Benedict Pike. By 1945, she, Benedict and daugher Ann are back in Temple Terrace, Tampa, Hillsborough Co., FL She died 21 Nov 2004 in Glynn Co., GA. and is buried St Anthony of Padua Cemetery, Palm Ave San Antonio, FL.

    Rosita did have a son Albert Allen Cardona born 12 Dec 1928 in Tampa, FL. Her daughter has no other info on her than that, and would like to know the true story of Rosita's birth year, parents, etc.

    Cordona, Rosita Maria

    A couple of things. It is not a good idea to put your private information
    (address or phone numbers) in emails to the group because the message forums
    are public. Do you want me to delete your message?

    With regards to your statements below:

    1) Make a freedom of information act request for EVERYTHING available for
    your relative
    2) Seems that the closest mainland point to Bannacca (on an island right?)
    is Trujillo and that is where I would start by ordering some film:

    Good luck,
