Barcelo

BARCELÓ

(22-Jun-2009)

The surname originated in France as Barsalou and established in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands of Spain as the Catalan surname Barcelo.

Carcar, Cebu, Philippines

Four Generations

Abuyog, Leyte, also has a prominent Barcelo family. The achievements of that family compares with those of Carcar’s.  I was told that a seminarian intentionally spent vacation time in Carcar, knowing there was a Barcelo family here, to get acquainted and establish family or at least friendly ties. Opinions of him in Carcar were very high, and Carcar Barcelo  were only too proud to call him one of their own. Meanwhile, two Carcar Barcelo descendants cut, so to speak, from the same cloth with him were Fr. Benjamin Aleonar (1927-1969) and Fr. Sabiniano Aleonar, SVD, a missionary assigned in Chile.

[15-Sep-2015: another descendant of the Carcar Barcelo bloodline is Mons. Rey Manuel S. Monsanto HP JCD. The monsignor is from Cagayan de Oro City]

I looked at a few Abuyog and Dulag (Leyte) records and the oldest Barcelo I could find, Patricio, can be estimated to have been born around 1870, probably the patriarch of the Abuyog-Dulag clan. He may have come from Carcar, but although chances are I should if he had had, yet I have no Carcar record of him. And also, nearly all older Barcelo in Dulag and Abuyog were listed as having been born in Tanauan, Leyte. Again, only closer research can show either the family really originated also from Carcar, or else, that the surname was also distributed in Leyte or maybe elsewhere, independent of Carcar.

I have Carcar Barcelo blood myself but also have a second reason for claiming this Leyte clan since some of them also have de Veyra (Tanauan, Leyte) blood, which I too have.

One more thing. There are two families in Carcar, the Barcelos and the Alfafaras (also as Alcaparas) that are distinct from Barcelo and Alfafara. The two families most probably also got the surnames in Carcar already.  I say they got the names in Carcar because while records say both Alfafaras and Barcelos came from Bohol (Barcelos from Dimiao while one or two indirect records say the Alfafaras were from Loon) yet the two surnames fit with the alphabetical groupings of Carcar.

In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 60 voters surnamed Barcelo, the 209th most numerous surname in the list.
