Salvador was not Spanish mestizo, but rather Spanish criollo. I saw two of his siblings’ baptismal records, indicating that their own parents were Spanish peninsulars. Eulogio’s full name is Eulogio José Fructuoso Martínez, and he was Molina de Segura, Murcia. Ignacia’s maternal family name is González (no need to put “y” between her family names), and she was from Villalón de Campos, Valladolid.
Mariano Novales’ maternal family name is Peralta (you have to put “y” between his family names), and he was of Spanish descent (not mestizo, but rather criollo, just as Salvador’s).
Include Castilian as part of his Spanish ancestry.
Carlos’ nickname is Carling.
Eric’s maternal grandmother was named Carmelita A. Querubin. She was born in Naic, Cavite.
Federico was born in Intramuros, Manila. Ofelia was born in Baliuag, Bulacan.
Carlos was born in Pasay, Rizal (now part of Metro Manila).
To be specific, he has four children from his wife and a son from his previous relationship.
Correct one of his great-great-grandfather’s given name from “Januario” to “Hilario”. And, correct Raymundo Magdaluyo’s maternal family name from “Jarabe” to “Rabé”.
Ambrosio R. Santos’ “R.” stands for “Raquel”.
