ALFAFARA-ALCUESAR
Shirley originally wrote this comment in the Surnames blog. I have re-directed it and future search inquiries to this page.
[December 30, 2008 4:03 am e]
“My husband has ancestors from Carcar that we would like to find out about. His grandmother was Quiteria Alfafara Alquizar(also seen as Alcuisar, Alcuesar, etc.) She was born about 1884. We would love to know who her parents and siblings might be.”
CARCAR FAMILIES: A Genealogy Blog for Carcar 
Quiteria’s parents were Luisa Alfafara and Ysidoro Alcuesar. There are inconsistencies in the record for Ysidoro because in some records his mother was sometimes Alcuesar sometimes a Laoat (Ysidoro’s his father was not recognized). So much so that Quiteria herself was baptized Quiteria Laoat in 1881 but married as Quiteria Alcuesar, but there could not have been two persons.
On the Alfafara side, if you’ve followed my post on cabeza de barangay, Luisa was a daughter of Martin Alfafara mentioned therein.
I wish you would also give me a family tree of at least Quiteria’s line so I can also expand my Alfafara tree. Quid pro quo.

Hello!!!! May I know the roots of my Great grandmother? She is an Alegado and she married a de la Rosa. Both a from Carcar, in a barrio or sitio called Bugtong kawayan.
Even if I don’t have all the records for the Alegado family but I’d need at least the name of your great-grandmother and dela Rosa great-grandfather. And their timeline. It might –I emphasize might–help me if I were to know when they were born. Although offhand I really do not recall a dela Rosa in Carcar.

Hello Vip!!! I’m back. However, my grandmother already lost important memories of her husband. But my father told me that his father was from Bugtong Kawayan, Barili, Cebu, and his middle name is Alegado. Maybe soon, I’ll get a clearer picture of the family of my grandfather soon.

Dear Zoe D., I suspect this is going the way of “How not to find your ancestors…” have you read that?LOL How about you look at this like a novena petition and give me the names of your great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandfather/mother, father/mother, etc–anything I can work on.

(comment in Carcar Houses)
Can anyone help me find my bloodline with the NACUA in Carcar, My mother’s mother is a Nacua who was born in Carcar. Oral transmission of the family tree said that my mother’s grand father was the one who participated in the establishment of St. Catherine’s church in Carcar. Help me please e-mail me. I am in UP Diliman right now. I want to know my roots.
Dear Crisanto, we would need to know the names of your mother, her father and mother and even better, also her father’s father (and mother). That would help trace your bloodline.

Romana Alcuesar born 1856 Carcar, Cebu (married Victor ALCONTIN 1880 Carcar)
Ysidoro Alcuesar born 1856 Carcar, Cebu (married Luisa ALFAFARA 1881 Carcar) OUR LINE…looking for Alcuesar family connections.

@Shirley, my own experience with the Mormon family search is it’s great as a flag, but not as unassailable information source. In one family, one woman was claimed to have been born 1830, but in an actual record search, I found a daughter (second child) of hers born 1839. That would have merited an investigation by the Vatican at that time–and CNN today!
As for your Alcuesar responses, let’s go over just two from Carcar.
1. Leoteria (2d item) born 1852, married Gaudencio Alegado 1782. How was she able to do it? Anyway, whichever of the two dates, but Leoteria Bargamento Alcuesar and Gaudencio Aldaya Alegado (born 1837 per record) were, also per record, married 1859.
2. Ysidoro (your line) born 1856 married Luisa Alfafara 1881. Again, per record, Ysidoro was born and baptized Ysidoro Laoat 1850 and still by that name married Luisa in 1877.
I don’t know who submitted those data to the Mormon database. But like so many like these, I think they’re the result of people just estimating dates and ages and then not qualifiying the figures and just submitting these as if true.
But the Mormon Family Search is a great first guide. Just don’t take the dates there hook, line and sinker. It kind of says to you: make your own genealogy!

magandang araw, anak ako ni Joseph. may idea po ba kayo kung papaano ko mahahanap ang mga kamag-anak ni Joseph Traya Lañas, 53 years old, ng Valencia, Carcar Cebu? si Felicisima Traya at Jacinto Lañas po ang mga magulang nya, at ilan sa mga kapatid nya ay sina Eulogio Lañas, Mercita Lañas at Hernanita Lañas. namatay na po kasi sya nung linggo, dito sa Maynila, at kakalibing lang sa kanya kanina. dati po syang militar at may mga kamag-anak din sya sa Valladolid, Zamboanga Del Sur. nawalan na sya ng komunikasyon sa pamilya Lañas nung sumama sya sa military. pasensya na kayo, hinahanap kasi namin ang kanyang mga kamag-anak para man lang malaman nila na pumanaw na sya. kung may kilala kang kamag-anak nya, pakitext lang ako sa 09062186581. ako nga pala si Jocelyn Lañas, 26 years old, taga-Manila. maraming maraming salamat.
By: Jocelyn Lañas on October 18, 2009
at 3:07 pm
Dear jocelyn, in the 2009 Carcar voters list there is no Lañas with Traya middle name–no Eulogio. Either they are still in Carcar but the women have married and now carry their husbands’ names or have not registered or have moved to another place. Maybe Valladolid, Zambo Sur like you mentioned. I’m sorry.

My mother is Estela Socorro Sauza Dela Cruz Maroney, a resident of Winlock, Washington, USA. Her mother is Dolores Embrado Sauza Dela Cruz who was born on 08 August 1929 in Cebu City.
Dolores’ mother was Criselda Alison Embrado who was born on 08 February 1899 or 1990 in Carcar. Criselda’s siblings were Pedro, Julian, Faustino and Pastor. Their parents were Dolores Alison and Ricardo Embrado. Their relatives were Don Pedro Cui, Archbishop Camomot and Philip F. Alison born 23 August 1926.

hello, just want to know if anybody has heard of the navales family?? I was told theyre from this place naga city or cebu? I myself am filipino/new zealand. I was raised in new zealand & am curious to find this family as they are related to me through Graciano Navales (senior) who is my father (who I dont even know). please if anyone has any links or information on how to contact someone there’ I would be greatly appreciated!
By: Graciano Heke on December 21, 2009
at 9:13 am
@graciano_heke, which serious genealogist working from the whole province of cebu has not heard of the navales family? it’s hands down the most common surname in the town of naga (midway between cebu city and carcar), from which it must have originated, and chances are they must have spread, at least to nearby towns. you can even encounter navales in carcar. if meeting up with your father is your purpose, may i know how old he would be, or how old are you? this is because there may be not just one graciano navales in naga, so if that’s the case, i can narrow the choices through the ages. i can try if i can inquire into the town’s voter list the name if there’s a registered voter there by that name. helping you link up would be a great satisfaction.

I was looking at my deceased father and came accross my grandfather birthplace which is Carcar Cebu.

I’m in the process of tracing our ancestors. If you have any information please feel free to send me an email…I would also like to find out if the carpenter who built the well known bahay na tisa is my unknown relatives..

i would be glad to collaborate with you. Pls send me a family tree reconstruction you’ve done from yourself and siblings, your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents or anyway as far back as you can. Both Enanoria and Paninsoro will be very welcome. Then we’ll compare notes.
BTW, the “old” spelling of Paninsoro (or Paningsoro) was Paningesoro. That is also what appeared in the catalogo de apellidos.
Do keep in touch. My Enanoria files need fine-tuning w/ so many unlinked ends.

Hi VIP,
Can you please if you could, help me trace where my great grand mother was from originally, her name was Gregoria Ybanez married to my great grand father Juan Limchoco. My great grand father was one of the founding member of The Lim Association (Lim Brotherhood) of Cebu. I really would like to know if Im in any way related to the Ybanez of Bogo and surrounding area.
By: Greg Ybanez on January 6, 2010
at 8:36 am
as is, too tall order for me. i always thought all ybañez in cebu were from bantayan or bogo until i saw the main carcar family has no record (yet) i saw indicating they were from that area. other ybañez in carcar were from Opon, dalaguete. here’s a clue: the lim brotherhood may have a record of juan limchoco were he was residing and that’s where gregoria ybañez could have been from.
By: vip on January 9, 2010

there are two racial classifications found for bantayan island ybañez: mestizo español or mestizo sangley. either this is correct, or one is wrong.

By: vip on January 21, 2010
at 10:19 am
I can get you dates for my dad Ricardo Lapates Oamilda and my grandfather. Because I guess when my dad was baptized he took my grandfathers middle name. As far a being a long story I don’t know. As for my grandmother Eusibia I don’t know her last name and when she died. I’ll try to get that information. I thank for looking into this for me. Salamat!
By: gretchen oamilda dayabab on January 23, 2010
at 6:21 am
usually when one is baptized, there is no middle name, except for a second name. thus, your father’s having also lapates as his middle name is by assumption on his part, unless his mother is really also lapates.
By: vip on January 23, 2010

Got information for my grandfather: Pablo Lapates Oamilda born 1892 died 1940 my father Ricardo Lapates Oamilda born 2/11/1917 died 06/14,2002
my grandmother born 1888 Eusibia and died 1938. I dont know grandmas maiden name. I thank you for helping me find my relatives. My father also had a brother, but, died at a young age. Dont know his name, but, also the son of Pablo

I thank you very much for all your help, but, until I get more information I’ll write my response. Because when my dad was baptized the church were his records were kept burned. I don’t know what other resources I might be able to go to. I’ll try the Mormon Family Search.
By: gretchen oamilda dayanan on January 23, 2010
at 1:25 pm
which burned church was this? The carcar church is still very much intact. your father’s mother was eusebia panimdim lapatis. Pablo’s mother was not lapatis but mamerta lapasaran.
By: vip on February 1, 2010
at 6:00 pm
Thank you for reply. But like everyone else we are all in limbo. I have no idea at this point who belongs to who. Maybe, you think that my dad and grandpa’s middle name is my gradma’s maiden name. Will keep in touch,

that’s why i asked about any story why you remember pablo’s middle name to be lapatis when it is actually lapasaran. his wife, eusebia, however was the lapatis. thus, it it is your father ricardo whose middle name is rightfully lapatis. that’s clear so no need to feel being in limbo.
By: vip on February 6, 2010
at 11:25 am
So if that’s case my grandma’s maiden name is lapatis and not lapates. And rightfully it;s Lapasaran. I’m totally confused now. So you;re saying that all through my dad’s childhood and adult life he had the wrong middle name. Everything that was in dad’s name was Lapates. So was it is now?
By: gretchen oamilda dayanan on February 7, 2010
at 2:41 pm
spelling of names has lots of evolutionary inconsistencies in carcar. for instance, while the old records spell it oamelda, that spelling of the name may not exist anymore (at least there is none in the current list of voters). it’s all oamilda and even some wamelda and wamilda. but your father’s baptismal record in 1917 spells it lapatis and the list of voters has no lapates, all are lapatis (30 of them and almost all in the barangay Valladolid). 1868 record already spelled it lapatis, too.
i don’t know how thus informed you can still be confused, maybe because you’re hanging on to errors, like your great-grandfather’s middle name was also lapates and that after your dad was baptized the church was burned. it was not. but if everything in your dad’s name was lapates, i suggest stick to it because you may just need judicial remedy to change all that.

the aleson/alison family may be one of the oldest in carcar and as such is now widespread all over the large town and could be found in at least half of the 15 barangays that make up carcar today.

Thank you for all the help you have supplied me with. It’s only to sad that dad didn’t leave the family enough information about his early days in the philippines. Dad came to the US at a very young age and never went back, even up until he died in 2002. And, for our grandparents (dad’s) parents they too died at an early age. Grandchildren never got to meet them. So, as we grow in age, we’d like to see who are the relatives. We all live in Hawaii, and, we know from dad that there’s no relatives here. Because dad married a local hapa (white) lady we are half visayan, and have white. The Oamildas here are all my brothers (5) and nephews. Had an aunt but she has passed away since (2009) I thank you for whatever information you can still provide.

maybe i can help you instead. my grandfather name is remegio cuizon. but he was an illegitimate son his father was a bacon. my grandmas name is pilar oamilda. they were both from valencia carcar. my grandma and her sisters actually were born in hawaii and they moved back to the philippines prior to the 2nd world war. you wont find too many oamilda in valencia anymore. most of them are in the states. either in stockton california or seattle washington. oamilda is not a common last name so we used to joke a lot about it. also my grandmas side of the family were all girls so naturally when they got married they didnt retained their last name. in seattle they are either perez, alforque, warnac or abella. only ones that i know that still have the oamilda surname are our relatives from stockton. hopefully this helps. armand perez
By: armand perez on June 23, 2011
at 7:09 pm
Oamilda is not too rare a name in Carcar; please see a post regarding the most numerous surnames in carcar and it is no. 34 with 188 registered voters, mostly living in Valladolid, where i think the surname originated. i’m sorry i don’t have the cuizon-oamilda connection. i hope in my never-ending quest we’ll get that.

Good Evening, Armand!
Thank you for the information. Very informative. If I can recall I know at one time my sister Gwen Montibon, whose also married to a Visayan boy did mention that we do have relatives somewhere in the mainland. I don’t know the names of our relatives, but, the woman did call, and if I’m not mistaking she’s was our Apo’s daughter. I know Apo’s name is Pablo, whom died in PI. I’ve had people looking up our family name and came up with nothing. Very interesting. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to visit the birth place of my dad. My mom was half haole and local from Hawaii. Both of my inlaw were also from Bohol. My name is Gretchen Oamilda Dayanan. Would love to keep in touch. You can see that I rarely check this web site. Contact me on my email. gdayanan@hotmail.com Love to hear from you.

i know some in mindanao now spell their name as waper and even wafer, and also pronounced the same way as the thin biscuit and this has misled some younger members to believing they have some german or something origin. in carcar it is spelled mostly as oaper but also as waper.

My mother is a native of Carcar, her name is Maura Varga del Corro, most of the clan still live Carcar, she told us that the priest Fr. Silva was their first cousin…Anybody knows the bro. and sis of my mother : Luis, Mariano, Ramon, Amado, Clara and Sotera. For your information, there is a huge piece of land that an heir should be a del Corro clan.

pls help me with your mother’s parents: was she a varga who married a del corro? which fr. silva is this? if this was fr. filomeno, a half-brother of padre tatyong, then your mother’s line must be of a full sibling of padre tatyong himself. please elaborate, if you want at my email address.

Hello, trying to find out a little about my history and heritage. My Grandfather was Bonifacio Alesna. He married Norma Alesna (formally Lagrimas) daughter of Manuel and Potinciana Lagrimas. Any information on either said would be very helpful and appreciated.
By: Justin on October 2, 2010
at 5:44 am
i have two bonifacio alesnas, none married to norma lagrimas. justin, if you can furnish me more info like when bonifacio was born. i need a timeframe for him to narrow down my search. or if you knew his middle name which can lead us to his mother. Or his brothers and sisters because i may have them. i have no lagrimas file, though but maybe i may have potenciana’s family. so, her surname, too. thanks. i hope we can find your answers.
By: vip on October 2, 2010

Racho was his middle name and Lagrimas was Potinciana’s surname. I believe my grandfather’s mother’s name was Loreta. thanks a lot.

@justin why don’t you make a family tree from your grandfather bonifacio and include all his children, their spouses you grandchildren, etc. if you know siblings of his, better. and i really need a calculation of bonifacio’s date of birth. i have a a racho-alfafara file; bonifacio is not there yet and the wife is not named loreta either.

I have been attempting to locate my father’s relatives. My father was born in Cebu (most likely Carcar) on January 6, 1898. He left during World War I and joined the U.S. Navy. My dad never returned to the Philippines. I believe his father’s name was Mariano Enanoria and his mother, Angela Alfafara (?). He supposedly came from a large family…stories have it that his father was a police chief. I know of two brothers…..Simon (who lived in San Francisco, California, USA) and Cassimere (sp ?) who lived in Hawaii. He had a cousin, Celestino, who also lived in the San Francisco area. All these relatives are deceased, so I have, as you can see, very limited information. Thank you for whatever information you can provide.

Hi:
I think I originally entered this information in the wrong spot, sorry.
I am trying to find family information about my step-grandfather, 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, his parents, grandparents, etc. and any information about his family, please reply.
Thank you,
Markus

Hi! I accidentally saw your link while looking for the History and families of my husband (surname CUI) and we know that we have relatives in Carcar. I also saw that there were some Villarosas who are CUIs. Trying to find how they are related to Don Pedro Cui original owner of the Hospicio de san jose. Maybe you have an idea or can direct me on how to look? we have no dates but we are all related to don pedro and Don Mariano Cui. Hope you can help.
By: JCui on July 30, 2011
at 3:25 pm
there are about 4 lines of cui in carcar, all of them with roots in cebu city. i cannot establish how they are related (and two lines even intermarried). one of the 4 lines is directly related to the family of pedro cui, being the branch of his brother gregorio who was himself buried in carcar and whose children appear to have been born already in carcar. one of gregorio’s sons you mentioned mariano cui. another son, mauricio, married a villarosa and that is the connection of the two families.
By: vip on August 1, 2011

Thank you very much VIP for replying to me inquiry. We’re trying to build the Family tree of the CUIs and we started of with Don Pedro’s line. What you have shared is integral to building this Family Tree of my husband’s family and will definitely enlighten other CUI members on their roots. Thank you again. I’m sure I’ll be asking more questions on this soon.

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!
By: Maribelle on August 12, 2011

if pedro fano-teofista barcenas i know only of children soledad, concepcion (d. 1906) and son anecito fano, married to rosita cuico, whose descendants were our neighbors (and pariente through rosita). do you know date of birth of lita and vicente alegado? would your mother know the names of vicente’s parents?
By: vip on August 12, 2011
at 8:56 pm
Hi,sorry for the late reply coz tinanong ko muna ang mother ko if alam niya ang date of birth ng parents niya and names ng parents ni Lolo Vicente Alegado.My mom told me na itanong muna niya sa pina ka eldest nila kasi ang alam lang niya July ang birthday ni lola Julita,Hulita or Lita Barcenas Fano.My grandfather Vicente Alegado ipinanganak daw po sa Baraca Cebu pero di po niya alam kong anong birthday ni lolo Vicente Alegado..I will get back to you once na may makuha akong konting info.Thanks and God Bless!
By: Maribelle on August 20, 2011
at 7:22 pm
i have a hard time to search for them without the dates of birth because they are not yet in my files. what year were lola julita and lolo vicente? for vicente, since it is very common, it is advisable i know his birth, maybe even just his year. doesn’t your mother know the name of her grandparents in the alegado side? maybe the eldest may know. that would be the most helpful.
By: vip on August 20, 2011

Hi,
My great grandfather Crisanto Yap arrived in Cebu somewhere late 1850’s, married to Josefa Ylananfrom Bogo in 1860 as the record stated. He adopted the catholic name, therefore was not included from the expulsion in later years. My great grandfather had 5children, 2sons were Eugenio Yap and Esteban Yap and 3sisters. Interested tracing the ancestry of Yap, incluidng China. thank you.
By: mayen yap on September 10, 2011
at 2:11 am
i wish the yap families of cebu can make their family trees, so we can compile them. how many yap branches are in bogo. I’m interested in the record for the marriage of crisanto and josefa in 1860, because that seems early. who was the eldest child and when was he/she born. esteban is estimated to have been born 1894, based on the age (31) given in his marriage in 1925. please make the bogo yap tree.
my great-granduncle eleuterio yap was buried in bogo in 1927 and their family was from parian, cebu city.

I am trying to locate a sister that my mother Maxima Barazona Campugan told me that she had to leave in the Philippines in October of 1967 when she moved to the US. I know that my mother was born in Carcar, Cebu but I don’t know exactly where my sister was born. She may have been born in Balibago Angeles City which was where I was born in April 1966. I believe my mother told me that my sister’s name is Evangeline (I am not sure how it is spelled). She may have been born on or around Aug 23rd 1959.
I would also like to make contact with my mother’s family if there are any. She never really talked much about her past but I would really like to try and get to know where she came from.

i’m sorry, you won’t find the birth certificate (a record that belongs to the town hall civil registrar’s office) because the old records there were burned in a fire and present carcar records start only 1946. she’s on the same boat with my own mother (also born 1928) but maybe ponciana’s baptism record can still be found in the carcar parish office.

Hi! Matagal na akong naghahanap ng web page where I can possibly trace my roots. Masyadong masalimuot lang po ang istorya ng aking pinagmulan. Ayon sa kwento ng lola ko, 8 silang magkakapatid, meron dun na kambal. Bunso ang lola goreng ko, gregoria bastida. Nag stow away siya ng carcar cebu early 1920’s or a little earlier.
Sinundan siya ni Lola flora, nakatatandang kapatid niya. Kaya 2 silang magkapatid na napahiwalay at napadpad sa Manila. Pero hindi ko na inabutan buhay ang aking Lola Goreng. Ang kapatid na lang niya na si Lola Flora ang inabutan kong buhay at matagal kami nagkasama. Bago namatay si Lola Flora, nagbilin sya sa kin na puntahan ko ang mga kapatid niya, ulyanin na siya that time. Ang instruction nya sa kin, sasakay ako ng barko, pagbaba ko ng pier, sasakay ako ng kalesa at magapahatid sa talipapa. May uncle daw siya na naging mayor ng carcar pero hindi niya nabanggit ang pangalan. Hindi ko sineryoso ang sinabi niya, kasi may mga apo naman siya sa mga anak niya kaya maaari na may request din siyang ganun sa kanila, yun pala huling pag-uusap na namin. That was 17 years ago. And I found out, ako lang pala ang sinabihan niya na hanapin ang mga kapatid niya. Ngayon, tuwing nagbubukas ako ng internet, naghahanap ako ng site na makakatulong sa akin. Sana po, matulungan nyo ako. You can reach me thru my mobile number 09283820387 or 09395401699. My facebook account is Bong Salvador. I already have friends with Bastida surname but they cannot help me.
By: cynthia "bong" salvador on December 13, 2011
at 10:32 am
if your lola stowed away around 1920s, with no other family, she must have been more than 10 years old, at least, already. and since she was the youngest of 8, would probably make flora the eldest to have been born around mid-1890s. and because they use bastida, either their father was bastida, or they were illegitimate children and their mother was the bastida. other clues: did you ever find out, from their middle names, what was the surname of their mother?
btw, there are no more voters in carcar with the surname bastida, so if flora and gregoria had any brothers, those brothers’ families either tapered down to only girls, or else they also subsequently left carcar, too. and if they did, it’s highly possible they went back to talisay, the town of the bastidas.
i wish there were more clues.

How come I have never seen a list about Campaña (Campania/Campanya) family in this website? I am a Campaña from Brgy. Perrelos. And majority of the people living in this barangay have Campaña in their bloodline.

the reason is the same with campaña and the other bigger families, like the lauron and lapiña, the 2 most numerous in carcar which also do not appear here: there are many many loose links and i cannot tie them up. campaña , if you’ve read “carcar surnames frequency” is no. 16 in the list.
so much so that i urge you to join me to trace the genealogy of the family.

Wow! Now that you mention it, I can’t imagine how to connect the puzzle. I just know of the Campaña clan from 2 or 3 generations ago but tracing down to its roots would really be difficult.
I admire how you do what you do.
From what I know, there are 3 prominent Campaña clans in Perrelos, and of course, I am mostly familiar with my family “,).
1 – Henry Campania
*
2 – Vicente Campaña married to Lucia
a.Mario Campaña married to Fe
Carlih Campaña
Melbourne Campaña
b.Sarima Campaña married to _____
Angel
3 – Saturnino Campaña married to Teresa Dacay (from Labangon)
a.Saturnino Campaña Jr married to Fe Batalla (from Misamis)
Amy Campaña
Geralyn Campaña
Maila Campaña
*** all of whom are residing in Misamis Oriental
b.Celiña Campaña married to “Junior” Alcorcon (from Perrelos)
Catherine Campaña Alcorcon
Richie Campaña Alcorcon
Kenneth Campaña Alcorcon
c.Esmael Campaña married to “Tita”
Niño Campaña
Lovella Campaña
Rochelle Campaña
Marinelle Campaña
Dondon Campaña
Mander Campaña
d.Zenaida Campaña married to Rodolfo Dayanan (frm Valladolid)
Roselyn Campaña Dayanan
Ibarra Campaña Dayanan
Marieknoll Campaña Dayanan
Vladimir Campaña Dayanan
Chiqui Campaña Dayanan
Rasmin Campaña Dayanan
e.Emma Campaña married to Jesus Dorado (frm Roxas City)

Hi!!Can you trace the root of my great grandparents LUCIA ALESNA ALCUDIA who was married to MANUEL ABELLANIDA LAPERA(my great grandfather whom i haven’t seen ever since because my grandfather LORETO ALCUDIA LAPERA(who passed away last april 2014) told me that Manuel his father was killed during the war and they haven’t seen Manuel after the war. Manuel was a Sgt. before in a military force who then killed by the Japanese force during World War 2.Years have passed, my grandfather and her sister tried to trace about their pension of their father but unfortunately somebody claimed it who was unknown and they were not informed who. I was amazed by the story because after what happened it was my grandfather who took care of his 3 siblings.I dont’t want to make the story long.So, I’d like to trace the root of my blood whose perseverance and bravery continue until now.

Hello VIP,
I’d like to inquire about Sophia Regis (who married a Vicente Caragos), my great grandmother whom I knew from Trinidad and Alquizola relatives in Barili. She’s related with the siblings the late Merced Trinidad Alcoseba and the late Mons. Cesar Jose Trinidad Alcoseba from Barili which parents were Domingo Barcelona Alcoseba from Carcar married to Petra Trinidad (I grew up under the care of the late Merced Trinidad Alcoseba and the late Mons. Cesar Jose Alcoseba as my aunt Rita Bonbon was adopted by their mother Lola Petra in the 40’s before the second WW broke).
Sophia Regis bore two children in the names of Pablo and Lourdes. Pablo migrated in Leyte and married there with children but died in the between or mid of the 80’s.
Lourdes Regis Caragos (my grandmother-she died before I was born in the 60’s) stayed in Barili and married my grandfather Vicente Bonbon and had five children Saturnino, Filepe, Jovencia, Fedilina and Rita.
My father being the eldest Saturnino Caragos Bonbon joined the army at age 16 due the the WW11. According to my late father, 2nd Lt. Saturnino Regis Caragos Bonbon; I need to trace his line of family from Carcar as his grandmother, Sophia Regis was originally from Carcar and a Mestiza Sangley as he, Saturnino Caragos Bonbon was informed. Please if you can give or shed a light on this query, will be very appreciated and I promise to give any form of donation needed or any form of appreciation when I can visit you in Carcar early next year. Please email me on ebaltonado@bigpond.com at your most convinient time. My kindest regards.
