My father-in-law came from the Phillipines when he was 18. He married in the States. They had 6 kids but he literally told them next to nothing about his family. I have made friends on facebook with some of their relatives but I knew nothing about the info I heard tonight. Thank you, Jane Jimeno
WOW! I have a similar situation, as described by Diane, except I am the 90 year old widow of the aunt of the divorced niece with the 3 children of the US born father. I love puzzles and have been doing genealogy for over 20 years and they (the kids) don’t even know the question to ask yet. Thank you so much for providing a path to research in finding the way to answers I have yet to ask. Wish me success (luck has little to do with it).
My first webinar. My partner is from the Philippines. He joined the US Navy and became a citizen that way. Luckily before the privacy act I found his family records back to the late 1800s. Then a few years later I tried finding records back to the Spanish era. Surprised that they were all gone from Family Search. Now I learned about that privacy law. Makes it all clear! Thank you for your presentation.
I appreciated the links to sites to start research. Resources are limited and it seems like only a visit to the Philippines will get the job done.
Diane’s presentation is very knowledgeable. Thank you.
Very informative. I knew many of the things she talked about, but there were many, many other things that I learned today.
I now have a better sense of how best to get started to find out more about my fathers family roots in Bohol. He immigrated to the US in 1931.
Very informative even for a Filipino in the Philippines. It gave me an idea on where to start and how to go further.
