He Has children. And Felicia Rose Romero

A longshot, but I'll ask it nonetheless: is he any relation to his namesake who became Cuban President when his brother Fidel became ill?

[edit] Undiscussed, unreferenced and wrong move

This article was moved without discussion, without references or any other evidence, no edit summary, from Raul Hector Castro to Raúl Héctor Castro by User:Gaudio, who has absolutely no edits to this article (not even when he/she moved it) on or about 3 May 2006 UTC.

All the evidence points to Raul as the spelling he has used for the last 80 years at least, and I've seen no evidence whatsoever relevant to the spelling of his name before then either. That's where it belongs under Wikipedia:Naming conventions. I'm moving it back if I can, with help if necessary. Gene Nygaard (talk) 10:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First Hispanic Governor?

Where does the claim come from that no other Hispanic was elected governor before him? How about Ezequiel Cabeza De Baca, Governor of New Mexico of Spanish origin in 1917? He was elected, right? Of course there is a difference between someone in Arizona who is an immigrant from Mexico and someone in New Mexico who can trace his ancestry far in the area. But I think both are Hispanic. Octaviano Ambrosio Larrazolo was another Governor of New Mexico who was Hispanic decades before Castro was Governor of Arizona. He was born in Mexico like Castro. I think he was elected too and his wikipedia page claims he was elected as the first Hispanic Governor of New Mexico, when he in fact was the second. California Governor Romualdo Pacheco was not elected, as he was Lieutenant Governor when the previous Governor resigned to become Senator. In his case it is true that Castro was a Hispanic who won an election and Pacheco wasn't. But Pacheco probably was the first Hispanic Governor of a state. Castro wasn't the only Hispanic elected Governor in 1974, Jerry Apodaca of New Mexico was elected then as well. 128.214.205.5 (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
