Do you know what Jose Capablanca's parents names are?  I have searched everywhere and can not find them.  Also, do you know what his wife name was? I have searched everywhere for that also. 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me an e-mail back with the answers to my questions. Thanks for your time.

Hi, Katie:

To be honest, we do not have an answer to your question about the Capablanca's parents and wife name. It seems that such information is not available through the internet either.

You may try the vast archives from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). The url address is www.familysearch.org 
Click the "Search for Ancestors" link and in the following page just enter the first name (Jose) and last name (Capablanca) fields.    

We hope you find answers.

Thank you for visiting us.

Update by Mr. Charles W. Wilcox:

Katie,

  With regards to your question about the name of Jose Capablanca's wife, according to Fred Waitzkin, on page 23 of his book, "Mortal Games: The Turbulent Genius of Garry Kasparov," the author records her name as "Olga Capablanca."

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Charles W. Wilcox
