Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey Janice, Not to many Couba's in any web sites. There is no Couba GENFORUM, and a general search has few if any entries of interest to Genealogy. LDS Family Search does have 6 entries in the USA. Ellis Island has 2 entries, one from Port au Prince, Haiti; the other came through Germany. ------------- First Name: Benoit Last Name: Couba Ethnicity: African, Haiti Last Place of Residence: Port au Prince, Haiti Date of Arrival: Sep 05, 1919 Age at Arrival: 25y Gender: M Marital Status: S Ship of Travel: Prins Willem I Port of Departure: Port au Prince Manifest Line Number: 0015 ------------- First Name: Ch. Last Name: Couba Ethnicity: Germany Last Place of Residence: Date of Arrival: Jul 11, 1892 Age at Arrival: 25y Gender: M Marital Status: Ship of Travel: La Bretagne Port of Departure: Havre Manifest Line Number: 0118 ------ There were no direct ties to Africa that were found. There is a passing reference to a village in Niger - link below. "This has worked especially well in Couba, a small southwestern village, whose citizens have come together to expel excisors from Burkina Faso." |
