This is going to sound really crazy but we have a family story that is really similar to a charcter in one of your books. Sharpes Enemy. My question is how much of this character was made up?
Our family history as told by grandfather- Pedro Ducos who arrived in Puerto Rico in the 1800 was from Irun Spain which is a border town between France and Spain. He said he was spanish but his last name is clearly french and his first name Pedro translates to Pierre – then the story like this..he supposedly was really from France betrayed Bonaparte and escaped to the island of San Juan Bautista modern day Puerto Rico. He was able to buy many acres of land which dwindled down in 200 years to 40 acres. My grandfathers pride to this whole story is that this man Pedro Ducos was able to escape and “GOT AWAY” with whatever life journey he was on.
Im searching ancestry looking for any info on my 3x great grandfather Pedro Ducos. So my question again is how much of this charcter in your book is made up?
Thank you
Vanessa Ducos
