As I take down notes from old Carcar records with the goal to outline the genealogy of as many Carcar families as I can, I shall be thinking aloud…
And consequently, as my education on the history of the town, which one can read from between the lines on the pages of those books, continues, I can only hope my blog will have been jampacked with facts, ideas, doubts, questions, choler and hosannas worthy of what has been my privilege to experience. Attitude with an edge–two negatives which multiplied, like mathematics, will hopefully produce a positive.
I was sent off on the genealogy path by getting earnest answers from historian Mike Cullinane to the inanest questions I asked him about my own families’ histories. About Carcar, Claveria, Cebu City–Cullinane gave me my first real history lessons. The product of my research is his for the asking.
I must acknowledge my indebtedness to the graciousness of Mormon members who persevered in their calling to tolerate my almost daily readings at their family history centers in Lahug and Sikatuna. I got most of my Carcar records right out of their microfilm readers.
Meanwhile, for some months now, Msgr. Rolando Jimenez, Carcar ministry moderator, has allowed me access to the convent books. At the same time, he also invited me to partake of lunch at the convento with the other office staff whenever I’m in Carcar for my research. What can top that?
There have been many inquiries my way about people’s ancestors, in which they give only the name of one ancestor, usually a grandparent. That will prove to be very difficult to verify from my records. One, in innumerable cases, several persons, in the same family, have the same name, and it is foolhardy to point to one with some certainty without other references, like the person’s siblings, or a timeline. Two, since it is my project to outline the genealogy of Carcar families, I would like nothing better than to also get the family tree of the person making the inquiry. That way, quid pro quo, I can help with the personal search and at the same time my file for such family gets updated and the project makes progress.
Join the project. Please fill me in with your family lines. Bookmark this site.

I am a descendant of a Yap family in Bogo. My grandfather’s name is Eugenio Yap married to Gregoria Lumapas. He has a brother named Esteban Yap. They have sisters who lived in Bantayan I think. We are a big family too in Bogo, Cebu.

Hi!
My mother’s name is Estela Socorro Sauza Dela Cruz Maroney (a resident of Winlock, Washington, USA) whose mother is Dolores Embrado Sauza Dela Cruz (born 08 August 1929 Cebu City) whose mother was Criselda Alison Embrado (born 08 February 1899 or 1900 Carcar) whose parents were Dolores Alison and Ricardo Embrado.
Please help more to research the parents and ancestors of Dolores Alison and Ricardo Embrado.
I really would like to connect with my Carcaranon roots.
Thanks. God bless you!

please uncover cresilda embrado’s ancestry in the aleson family. with reference to evangelista aleson-Ynocenta rangcajo, they are the parents of dolores aleson who was married to gerardo (not ricardo) alcover embrado in 1888. cresilda was born 1900. Thus, she was a second cousin of archbishop teofilo camomot in the aleson family.
took a long time with researches going on simultaneously, but we got there.

Good morning! I think the last time I corresponded with you was back in March or April 2010, inquiring about my dad’s family. My dad was Ricardo Oamilda, His father was Pablo Oamilda, and his mom was Eusibia Oamilda. My dad was born in 1917, and died 2002. My grandpa was born 1892, and died 1940, my grandma was born 1888, and died 1938. I know there’s some relatives in Cebu, but, don’t know anyone. I would like to visit sometime next year, and see if I could find any of my relatives. My mom was not of filipina race so there’s no record of her. I would like for you to follow up on my dad’s relatives.

Hi:
I am trying to find family information about Ciriaco Aledo from Carcar. He was born in 1896/1897. Ciriaco left Carcar and traveled to Hawaii; arriving in Honolulu and working for the Sugar Plantation.
In Hawaii, Ciriaco married Teofila Fernandez, who was from Cebu City.
Ceriaco Aledo’s first cousins were: Patricio Aledo, Margarito Aledo, and Bartolome “Omeng” Aledo. They also left Carcar and traveled to Hawaii to work. Margarito was married to Severina Alcones as listed on a Honolulu, Hawaii Passenger List and also recorded on a Carcar marriage record.
The parents of Patricio, Margarito, and Bartolome were: Inocente Aledo and his wife, Ana Alcoy.
If you know of any information about Ceriaco Aledo and his family, please reply. Thank you.

Hi po ask ko lang if pwede po ma trace ang family ng mother ko.Her father’s name is Vicente Alegado and her mother’s name is Lita Fano (my grandparents born in Cebu). Nasa Davao po lumaki ang mother ko at mga kapatid niya.Pero laging naikwento sa amin ng mother ko ang about sa family niya na may mga kapatid lolla ko sa Cebu.And may mga cousins ang mother ko sa Cebu na di nila nakikita kasi sa Davao na po sila lumaki.Since mahirap lang ang family ng mother ko it’s hard for them to travel sa Cebu.I’m just wishing na ma trace ang mga family and relatives ng mother ko.Si Lita Fano (my grandmother)ay ipinanganak sa Carcar Cebu na anak daw po ni Pedro Fano and Teofista Barcenas (my great grandparents) Thanks and God Bless po!
