CANAYA Family
(1-Jul-2009)
[16-Jun-2011]: When first posted, the Canaya Family had an Antonina Canaya and a padre no conocido as the starting persons. Although that was based on records, many other records read later on had a Bibiano Alejandro as the husband of a Ma. Antonina, and I’m now more inclined towards this link and, thus, this revision of the family tree. There are examples of other families where the widowed wives were identified by the family name (Dalmacia Aleonar, Laurencia Sasuman) but if these women were legitimately married, I’d assume that the fact of their children later bearing these surnames was not the result of the maternal line, but rather because the husbands themselves had already died before the entire family received the surname and, naturally, were never known by the surname, and thus, could not to be called retro-actively by it. But the surname did proceed from the male line and, thus, it was the husband’s family. I agree and insist my family trees follow that very sound policy. And not just because there was no retroactive clause in Claveria’s decree, or else, if we insist on appending all our pre-surname ancestors with our 160-year-old surnames, Adam and Eve would have a very serious problem indeed, having to take on all the surnames known to mankind.
The descendants of the Barabas family (now mostly spelled Baraba) will all also have to be appended to the Canaya family because the starting mother, Ma. Ysabel, was buried as Isabel Canaya, married to Laurente Barabas. Although I’d already kept a file for the Barabas family, it was always just Ma. Ysabel and seeing the record (December 1850) was a happy find indeed. However, there is no link found yet how exactly Isabel was related to either Bibiano Alejandro or Agustina. Children of both lines were born about the same period, suggesting that the two may have been siblings. Anyway, just by the surname alone, for sure they were related.]
In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 88 voters surnamed Canaya, the 133d most numerous surname in the list. There is only a Baraba family name (3 voters) in the Carcar 2010 list of voters.

Donny…Consortia Plarisan and Gabriel Canaya were Auntie Daddy’s and Papa Celing’s parents. Tito Beck and Tito Noe and your Mom will probably know which siblings were in which order. I think Tito Manchung was the eldest then Papa Celing, there were some girls, Tito Bill, then Tito Beck, Tito Noe and Auntie
Daddy.

Hello! Just discovered this site. I am in California. I am trying to find information on my mother’s family. My mother is Carolina Canaya Sare (born in Carcar in Nov. 1932). My grandfather is Guillermo A. Canaya and my grandmother is Adela Alcordo Canaya. My uncle Harrison Canaya possibly still lives in Carcar. He was married to Nelly Saducas Canaya (deceased). Hoping to learn more about my relatives.

i will keep demetria on my waitlist until i see a record. meanwhile, why do you have mancao as middle name of margarita cuison? i have either lamno or fantilgan (her name in the burial record of macario). but i have 2 sets of parents for her: bonifacio cuison and alfonsa lamno in her 1893 marriage to macario and toribio mancao and gregoria in the 1892 baptism of their natural daughter, gabina cuison (later canaya).

sori vip. correction it is not demetria. …ITS DOROTEA. CUIZON CANAYA… .. middle name of margarita the mother. . as confirmed in the above list.

this is the intriguing part. in my cuison file, the mother is a mancao, yet in my canaya files, its lamno or fantilgan.
