Marcos and his wife Maria are first cousins.

!Marcos and his wife were French decendants. The biography of Felix Matos Bernier states that they relocated, together with their sons, from France to Coamo, Puerto Rico, where they owned a magnificent ancestral manor. The biography also spells the name Girau, and not Giraud. Their daughter, Eulalia, married Federico Matos Gonzalez.

!CENSUS: 1910 U.S. Federal Census of Coamo, Puerto Rico shows parents of Jose Segundo Bernier Giraud being born in Puerto Rico (father) and France (mother).

!CONFLICT: Marcos Bernier's birth place needs to be verified. One source says he was born in France (probably incorrect), but a 1910 Census shows he was born in Puerto Rico.
