Obituary of Michael’s uncle – https://www.findagrave.com
That’s the obituary of his uncle and the genealogy of his mother/uncle, and his uncle’s wife. His uncle’s wife probably didn’t have his mother at about nine years old. So I assume the great-grandparents are his grandparents, and his mother is just Puerto Rican.
Yes. You’re right. I didn’t even check the obituary. I just went with what was already in the profile. It clearly says that she’s his sister. Sigh. I really should double-check the existing text better. Especially since the reason I started updating bearboy’s submissions is because they’re severely lacking in information.
Filipino and Cebuano tags missing. Also Native Hawaiian where?
This guy looks very white, considering the “Bantu’ features and 15/40% Afro-Arab mix on his father’s side and all that stuff on his mother’s side. Crazy…

Michael’s maternal grandfather was Carlos Emmanuel Andrew Ruiz (the son of Adello Molina Ruiz and Alice Andrews). Alice was the daughter of John Anduha Andrews and Mary Pineto/Paneto.
I think Carlos’ parents were both born in Hawaii to Puerto Rican parents. Can’t find definite proof for Adello, but there is one Adello Ruiz of right age, son of Puerto Ricans John Ruiz and Maude, born in Hawaii. Anduha/Andujar and Paneto families are deffinitely Puerto Rican.
Michael’s maternal grandmother is Shirley Ann Obatay (the daughter of Pantang Obatay and Anatalia “Duling” Augustiro). Shirley was born in Hawaii. Pantang was born in San Fernando, Cebu, Philippines. Anatalia was born in Hawaii, to Filipino parents, Marcos Augustiro and Sophia Mindoro.
