ALESNA
(31-Aug-2009)
(alesna – awl)
3 Generations
Generally regarded as the biggest clan in Carcar. On a trip to a rural countryside in Valencia, Bukidnon, last year, I even found a 4-generation Alesna family with the ancestor originally from Carcar. And yet, reconstruction of the family tree pointed only to a single couple. There are other families in Carcar that had already branched out more in the same timeline. But starting person Felipe’s having 5, maybe 6, sons to carry on the name may explain the exponentiation of the name.
The Cebu Institute of Technology was formed by a triumvirate of engineers: Fidel Dagani, Amancio Alcordo and Jose Cavan. Alcordo and Cavan are second cousins on the Alesna side, great-grandchildren of Marcelo Alesna here below.
BREAKING NEWS: Just tonight (25-Sep-2009) I found the marriage record of Victorio Alesna to Benedicta Aldaya. Dated 20-Jul-1835, the entry identified the previously unlinked Victorio Loverto’s [sic] parents as Luis Mariano and Ma. Agustina. So, the big branch of Victorio has now been linked.
BREAKING NEWS: And then tonight (13-Nov-2009) was found the marriage record of Saturnina Alesna and Enrique Ybañez, which branch have been consigned to the bottom of this page, waiting for the day Saturnina can be linked to whichever Alesna branch she belongs to. Well, the marriage record for Enrique Ybañis [sic] with Saturnina Antonia was found as 21-Aug-1847. Saturnina was the daughter of, like the previous breaking news above, Luis Mariano and Ma. Agustina. Happily at the same time, this also links for my files Ybañez with his lineage as son of Doroteo Ybañez and Victoria Albarado [sic]. I am going to place Saturnina tentatively after Francisco Silvestre who, born 1818, would have been already 29 at that marriage date–pending the finding of pertinent dates for her and her next siblings in this tree.
[23-Jun-2011: I found the burial record for Ma. Agueda, 66 years, viuda of Santiago Phelipe. The date was 1-May-1834. The record gave her cabeza as D. Luis Mariano, thus her own son.]
In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 331 voters surnamed Alesna (including 2 Alisna), the 5th most numerous surname in the list.

CARCAR FAMILIES: A Genealogy Blog for Carcar 
My father, (Ret. Col.) Dioscoro P. Alesna, originally came from Carcar. His father is Ponciano Alesna married to Eusebia Padolas. He recalled that they moved to Cebu City from Carcar when he was a child so that his father could be closer to his place of work. My father’s siblings were: Delfin, Mariano (who died in his teens), Rosario, Felicing, and Francisco. I do not know from which Alesna branch we came from.

If you can get who Ponciano’s father was or mother or even some siblings of Ponciano, I’m sure I can link you to your branch. Please email me the correct sequence of your father’s brothers and sisters so I can include them in the update. Better if you have their respective spouses, too. Also, where was your father born and when?

Hi, I just read your blog and I was amazed by your quest for your family tree. My husnand is an Alesna too and is from Valencia Carcar, His grandparents were Vicente Alesna who is married to Ysabel Daoba Alesna… I was also trying to locate his clan since He already grew up hre in Cebu City. We are also eager to know and to associate with the Alesna Clan.

if you can give me other information: maybe vicente’s middle name or names of his brothers/sisters. or names of his children and their births, every information that your family know.

haie., i also want to know my family tree. im an Alesna, i only knew my grandfather’s name because he died before i was born. i hope to know more about him and my family, if not a burden can you help me know his family tree?? thanks in advance and your blog was fascinating 🙂

by the way i forgot., my grandfather’s name is Florencio Alesna
By: Mimi Alesna on December 25, 2013
at 6:50 pm
Ponciano’s father was Hernando Sagolili Alesna. My father can no longer recall his grandmother’s name. This is the order of Ponciano and Eusebia Padolas’ offspring:
1) Delfin married to Inday Patalinghug (sister of former Lapulapu mayor Max Patalinghug)
2) Mariano (drowned when he was around 17)
3) Rosario (first married to a Lofranco, was widowed then married a Cenita, both from Bohol)
4) Felicing (was a widower and married twice)
5) Dioscoro (my father)
6) Francisco married to Florence Fortich (of Inabanga, Bohol)
My father was born in Carcar on September 30, 1920 and is married to Esperanza Torrefranca from Inabanga, Bohol. He often talks of a cousin in Carcar nicknamed “Cipring”
By: Dioscoro Alesna Jr. on October 15, 2009
at 6:18 pm
The Sagolili was the link. I had a Ponciano but didn’t know if he was the one, so the names of his parents or siblings would have confirmed it. Ponciano’s parents were Sisenando Alesna and Ana Sagolili. That makes your branch that of Felipe-Samson-Placido-Sisenando-Ponciano-Dioscoro (refer to tree above). Thanks for the list. Cipring would be the former councilor of Carcar, I’m not sure now of his real name.
By: vip on October 15, 2009
at 7:15 pm
Felipe-Samson-Placido-Sisenando-Ponciano-Dioscoro (refer to tree above).
can i have a complete tree on this branch sir ? or can you provide me some photocopy, or electronic copy of old record (e.g. baptismal, marriages, death records for our family’s keeping sir) i am making a tree on facebook geni.com tnx…this would be of great help:)
By: Warren Alesna on July 4, 2010
at 2:18 pm
@warren, that’s a tall request. here, if you can give me a complete tree from your just your grandfather, children, grandchildren, etc., etc. i’ll see what we both can do about your family tree. but i don’t have photocopies, or copies of records, etc. i just sit down and make notes and copy what i can read from either the books or microfilms. some families want actual certifications and so they go to the parish office and request for these.
that is good, in exchange for their allowing me access, i can help the parish by suggesting families to get actual certifications and the parish earns money. one person i accidentally met in barili really has a scrapbook of baptismal, marriage, burial certifications for his family. i admired him for it and from his scrapbook i learned we were related. and because of what i told him, he ordered some more certifications and updated his files. i was so amused but awed by what he was actually doing.

i just would like you to clarify me on this portion sir:
DIOSCORO wrote: Ponciano’s father was Hernando Sagolili Alesna.
VIP wrote: The Sagolili was the link. I had a Ponciano but didn’t know if he was the one, so the names of his parents or siblings would have confirmed it. Ponciano’s parents were Sisenando Alesna and Ana Sagolili.
then this would be the case:
THEORY1
Felipe-Samson-Placido-Sisenando-HERNANDO-Ponciano-Dioscoro.
SISENANDO ALESNA x ANA SAGOLILI = HERNANDO SAGOLILI ALESNA supposedly, hernando is a son of sisenando and ana, they are different person not the same, HERNANDO, should bear his mothers maiden name which is a sagolili, pls correct me if am wrong….
THEORY 2
Felipe-Samson-Placido-(Sisenando as HERNANDO) -Ponciano-Dioscoro.
VIP WROTE : refer to fam tree above
—-Placido Alesna
=(1855) Roberta Alcesto Emvrado
(for sisenando to bear the SAGOLILI maiden name PLACIDO must have married a SAGOLILI, if not ANA SAGOLILI) who is (1855) Roberta Alcesto Emvrado in PLACIDO’s life? )
have we missed something here? pls clarify…maybe this is why you have no records of valentina and valiriano and my lolo dioscoro “coring” does not have the lucia record.
By: Warren Alesna on July 4, 2010
at 2:50 pm
i got the name of sisenando from, among other records, his own marriage to ana sagolili in 1876. so my file has no hernando. it’s possible either dioscoro was mistaken about the two names, or sisenando was also called hernando, that’s also possible. re theory 1 i do not have hernando being a son of sisenando.
anyway sisenando was the son of placido and roberta emvrado (now spelled embrado) and he was the one who married a sagolili and it is ponciano and his siblings who carry the middle name sagolili.
By: vip on July 4, 2010
at 3:06 pm
i guess you got mired in the information from dioscoro that ponciano’s father was hernando sagolili alesna. the mixup started there. it’s sisenando embrado alesna, married to ana alcesto sagolili, instead.
By: vip on July 4, 2010
at 3:18 pm
ON THE SAGOLILI TREE:
VIP WROTE:———Ambrosio Sagolili ( -1873)
———= Roberta Alcesto
————Ana Sagolili (calc. 1858-1898)
=(1875) Sisenando Embrado Alesna (calc. 1854-
This shows that SISENANDO EMVRADO ALESNA married ANA SAGOLILI this might be the missing link, or the misconception of lolo coring….
HE MUST HAVE MEANT HERNANDO EMVRADO ALESNA married to ANA SAGOLILI…not HERNANDO SAGOLILI ALESNA…:)
Amen, Warren! This shows you have the perspicacity to cross-check, something needed for one to make a family tree! – vip

Aloha Char, my name is Darlene(Anguay)Makaiwi and I see a Juian Lobitos. Would that Lobitos be Lobetos or Lovitos?? My grandfather on my moms side is Ciriaco Lobetos, but actually spelled Lovitos from Argao. Just wanted to find out.

Thank you for your response. My father wrote down the names of his father’s siblings which might be useful to you. Here is the list:
1) Valentina
2) Ponciano (my grandfather)
3) Igmedio
4) Valeriano (later migrated to Bukidnon)
5) Norberto
6) Felisa
By: Dioscoro Alesna Jr. on October 16, 2009

Thank him for me. I have Delfin (d. 1879), Francisco (d. 1884), Ponciano (b. 1884), Lucia (m. Teofilo Enanoria), Emigdio (b. 1887), Feliza (b. ?), Roberto (b. 1896), Nemesio (b. 1898). Parents Sisenando and Ana Sagolili were married 1876. Could Valeriano be the grandfather of the Alesnas I met in Pinatilan, Valencia, Bukidnon I mentioned above? My sequence for Lucia and Feliza were just my guess: there’s a daughter of Lucia who died 1906 and Feliza’s husband was born 1889. I wonder why your father does not have Lucia and I do not have Valentina and Valeriano. Norberto was Roberto in his baptismal record.
By: vip on October 16, 2009
at 1:42 pm
Could Valeriano be the grandfather of the Alesna’s I met in Pinatilan, Valencia, Bukidnon I mentioned above? ….
it could be possible sir, Enrique Alesna, a son of VALERIANO, first cousin of my Grandfather RET. COL FRANCISCO ALESNA SR, RIP DEC 2009, daddylo, (father is Ponciano and mother Eusebia Padolas), lives in BARANGAY MANAGOK MALAYBALAY BUKIDNON, the locals fond of saying BARANGAY ALESNA, almost 80% of registered voter’s are ALESNA’s…
LOLO Enrique and his siblings had a banana, pineapple, corn and rice Plantation in barangay Managok, malaybalay bukidnon.
LOLO Enrique’s family inherited in car-car the WATERSOURCE of CARCAR WATER DISTRICT….
i hope i did contribute some helpful information. tnx.

Hello,
When my mom arrived here in Honolulu, Hawaii in the early 1980s, she lived with the Alesna family from Carcar. The elder Alesna’s nickname was”Noy Sipring” and his wife’s nickname was “manang Tilde.” They had two sons: Ponciano and Junior (presumably he has the same name as the elder Alesna). Knowing that Filipinos tend to recycle first names in the family, “Noy Sipring” could be the “Cipring” that your father was referring to as his cousin in Carcar. The elder Alesna and son Ponciano have already passed away. Junior Alesna, on the other hand, has been deported back, so he is in Carcar right now.

Hi Jake, is your Mom’s name Juana? or Juliana? I seem to recall a relative of my grandfather who would always stay with us in Manila whenever she’s in town. She even performed the Hula or Hawaiian dance when she was here one time during a party at our house. It was during the 1980’s

If I am correct sir,the Luis Alesna mentioned at the top of the list married Maria Alumines whose son was Estanislao Alesna who was listed as a Cabeza de Barangay in 1877.He got married to Paulina Barcenilla. Their son, Evaristo Alesna was the father of my great grandmother Josefa Alesna Y Villarosa who married Isabelo Montesclaros. Please inform me if you received the family tree I attached to my third email. Thanks for posting all these.

hello rey…i have been looking at baptismal records from carcar cebu from 1877-1880’s and found Filomena Alesna’s baptismal record. Her father was Evaristo alesna and her paternal grandparents were Estanislao A. and Paulina Barcenilla. I guess this is your great grandmother’s sister. It’s pretty cool huh!

I am one of the grandchildren of PABLO ALESNA. He was from Valencia, Carcar, Cebu. He was married to CATALINA LAUDE, and lived in Naval, Leyte (now Biliran Province). He was a carpenter who was seeking a greener pasture. We do not have much knowledge about his person. Could you help us trace his lineage?

regrading the marriage of record of victorio alesna and benedicta aldaya, were you able to see their bdays as well?
By: Rona Marie C. Alesna on May 2, 2010
at 9:31 am
that would be a very stiff order. From the data given in the marriage record, victorio and benedicta are calculated to have been born 1811 and 1815 resp. but the ages given in the marriages are very imprecise. moreover, i don’t know if the books concerned are still intact, and fishing their names out of host of names still w/o surnames would be the hardest part. it needs perseverance and that was how i found the marriage record itself.

I just traced my great grandfather’s parents to Sabina Alesna and Nasario Guyal. My great grandfather Juan Guyal was born in 1893. Any line to Sabina Alesna? (I’m not even sure if that’s correct spelling)
By: Melanie on May 2, 2010
at 3:09 pm
@melanie, may i ask where the nasario-sabina branch lives? for instance, where was juan guyal born in 1893? if you can make the nasario guyal-sabina alesna family tree, that would be a tremendous addition to our alesna file.

while nag akó-akó in reconstructing carcar family trees, my plea to carcaranons is to complete their own family trees so we can link up their tree with my older one.
more than half of my records for persons from 1900 were contributions of their descendants.
this is also my plea to you @galileo: please complete your family tree. i presume you do not know his parents but if leon is your ancestor, make the tree from him, his spouse, children and spouses, grandchildren, etc. in the meantime, i’ll do my searching for your ancestors, too. fair deal?

@marjorie, since i cannot find leopoldo, it’s possible he was born later than my last records. but it’s also possible i got crosseyed from the many names and generations. if you could give me his date of birth i might be able to more narrowly place my search. or can you ask an older generation in your family what the P. in his name stands for? and maybe could you complete your family tree from him, children and spouses, grandchildren, to update the Alesna Family tree?

By: marjorie on July 6, 2010

it’s horrible, marjorie. i’m in carcar and looked for the baptism of leopoldo. the volume ended at august 1912. the next volume was supposed to start aug 1912 to 1914 but it only started on page 66, 1913 already. nobody there can say where the first 65 pages are, maybe it was the result of having the volumes bookbound. i hope those missing pages will turn up in some other volume.

the burial record for marcelo alesna in 1881 said his parents were felipe and agueda (no second names). as phelipe and maria aquina, they were parents of samson mercado (later samson alesna) in his marriage in 1815 to martiana ysidora (later aledo). i have no record yet to help us what agueda’s family name later turned out to be.

hello vip, i am confuse about the two roberta’s are they not in conflict???
another family story iv heard is that one from our roots was a child of a PADRE DAMASO (SPANISH PRIEST)
pls clarify if there can be records link out from this folks stories thnx…
By: warren alesna on October 5, 2010
at 2:23 am
is the padre damaso the real name? anyway, go over the family tree and look at the alesna women who bore children out of wedlock. they would have (pnc) on the next line. and then try to see if that line is mestizo-looking.
but as for records, i doubt one will surface because that would mean an admission from a spanish priest. if there was, only a dna test may settle that.

another thing will you tell me the codes
such as;
pnc -born out of wedlock
(1860) Juana Bargados Canagan ( -1883) – you mean to say born 1860 then died 1883???
pDn: Francisco Valentin -what does pDn means?
this is helpful in my quest to make our tree as detailed, and geniune data as it could be…
you might check our clan’s website…

my lolos are mestizos…so as his couzins, lolo enrique of malaybalay bukidnon as well it is possible… a PADRE DAMASO is the source…either on the ALESNA side or on the SAGOLILI side
By: warren alesna on October 6, 2010
at 1:38 pm
regarding mestizo: we now have the means to trace which alesna and sagolili women bore children out of wedlock (pnc= padre no conocido, father uunknown) and they would be the ones who’d possibly borne mestizo children. but if we’re really aiming to determine where spanish blood came, if any, you’d have to also examine not just the alesna and sagolili but also the padulas, llanto, embrado, alcesto, etc. trees.
pDn means pre-Decree (Claveria) name, when the individual still did not have a surname.
=(1860) Juana Bargados Canagan ( -1883) means the individual above this married her in 1860, and correct, she died 1883.

@hermilo, i’m sorry i cannot find honorato (yet). would you know more about him–date of birth (even calculation), middle name, brothers and/or sisters, etc.? anything that can help me narrow down my search.
“they have 5 siblings”–by siblings do you mean brothers and sisters of honorato or the children of honorato and carmen?

i wish i could help you, maybe through which you can get closer to the alesna side of your ancestry. i can’t find carmelito, eddie. would you know when your father was born? what middle name did he use? who was your mother? and even if they’re separated, can you try to ask your mother who were your father’s father/mother and their real names, or some more siblings of your father? — anything that can help me search and locate his place in the family.

Hello! I’m researching the Alesna family of Escolastico Alesna. He had 4 children, one of which was Ignasio. They went to Hawaii in 1917. Maria Propios was the wife although I didn’t find a marriage certificate. I found a boat manifest where she returned in 1932 with her daughter, Rosaria. I’m trying to find out who their parents were and where they were from. I know they lived in Carcar.

i have escolastico the son of ysidoro and felipa saucejo who appears above on the tree. Ysidoro was a son of victorio alesna and benedicta alesna. they are found towards the top of the tree. i also do not know when escolastico and maria alcover propios were married but have 7 children of theirs born before ignacio but who also died from 1893 to 1895. ignacio was born 30-aug-1906. i do not have other siblings of escolatico and you mentioned 4.

going back to carcar after 2 months, i dug into the 1911 baptismal. baptized 11-feb-1911 was francisco canoy, son of ramon and gabriela alesna. ramon’s parents were manuel and felipa juan, native and residents of siquijor. gabriela’s were isidro (dec.) and felipa saucejo and padrino celso paraz.
there was, however, a notation at the side in different ink “eraso”.
The record also said he was born doce (12) of the same month but obviously that cannot be.

Hello,
I just found your very interesting site about Carcar families, especially the Alesna family. I’m also an Alesna descendant on my mother’s side. Please help me trace my maternal grandfather’s line. His name is Buenaventura Alesna from CarCar and he married Concepcion “Conching” Roca Alesna (maybe from Carcar too or from Barili, Cebu). They had 5 children who were all born in Carcar, named Corazon, Bert, Josefina, Boy/Buenaventura Jr., and Cesar. My mom- Josefina was born on March 19, 1933. According to my lola Conching, my grandfather Buenaventura Alesna was a guerilla soldier with USAFFE in Cebu during WWII. I believe they separated (before or after the war) and my grandfather also had a second family. I never met my grandfather as he died before I was born. Please help me find my Alesna relatives in CarCar. Cebu. Thank you very much in advance and God bless you for starting and keeping this blog/site.

wow! I’ve just read about this tracing up one’s genealogy from the Alesna of Carcar. I can only trace mine from my greatgandfather, Numeriano Alesna married to Fausta Solon (1st wife) and Numeriano Alesna married to Primitiva Veloso. I don’t know when they were born. Numeriano was Tatay Milian to his children and grandchildren. His siblings were Catalina married to a Dela Cerna believed to be from Misamis Occidental, Prisco Alesna, and another one who died young. My grandfather, Jose Alesna is the 2nd child of Numeriano with his 1st wife Fausta who was born on August 27,1894 and married Beatriz(Sebastiana) Lawas Medel from Liburon, Carcar.
By: Joji Alesna on October 17, 2020

Correction: The siblings of Numeriano Alesna were Catalino, Prisca married to a Dela Cerna from Misamis Occidental and another one who died at a tender age. I don’t know where to post the information about our lineage and hoping I could be of help. In addition, I only have the Birthdays of some members of my direct family. Here is the List:
NUMERIANO Y. ALESNA married to Fausta Solon (1st wife) with 7 offspring
Children: Pedro S. Alesna (in Hawaii known to have been unmarried);
Jose S. Alesna (Aug. 27, 1894 – March 5, 1990) married to
Beatriz(Sebastiana) Lawas Medel(Jan. 2, 1905 – Aug. 24, 1984)
with 5 offspring;
Anselma S. Alesna married to ____ Ignacio of San Carlos City,
Pangasinan with 6 offspring:
Antonia S. Alesna married to Juan Saldana of Misamis Occ.
with 3 offspring, all deceased but one got married;
Susana S. Alesna married to Emiliano left no heir;
Juan S. Alesna (deceased who came from Hawaii, unmarried);
Tomas S. Alesna (March 7, 1905 – Sept. 22, 1997) married to
Severia Canaya with 11 children;
NUMERIANO ALESNA married to Primitiva Veloso (2nd wife) with 7 offspring
Children: Oscar V. Alesna (Dec. 27, 1908 – until 1971) married to
Marcela Baliguat with 4 offspring;
Catalina V. Alesna (April 30, 1910 – death?) died unmarried;
Leon V. Alesna married to Asteria Reluya had raised 8 offspring
in Motibot, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte;
Gregorio V. Alesna married to Maria Fe Kintanar with 10 offspring;
Benjamin V. Alesna(Dec. 28, 1920 – May, 1995) married to
Cecilia Ynot with one child;
Mercedes V. Alesna (March 19, 1923 – 1986) died unmarried
Ruben V. Alesna married to Narcisa F. Alesna with 8 offspring.
