My family originated in Iloilo. My father was Vincent Flor and my uncle was Baltazar Flor. My father immigrated to the United States in 1932. His parents were Lino and Marta (Fernandez) Flor. When my father passed away, I came across my uncle’s baptism certificate. He was baptized on February 6, 1900 in los Santos Oleos y Crisma en esta Inglesia. His paternos abuelos were Severino y Petra Alegado and his maternos abuelos were Guillermo y Guillerma Famoro.

I am interested in finding out more about my geneological roots and wondered if there is someone I can communicate with about this.

Well, yeah. If you spell underrated as UNDERATED that already is an undervalue. I think this page is worth than nothing too… take it from me…

There are lots of things to remember about Miag-ao Church. It is the only church in Western Visayas included in UNESCO’s Heritage List. Built in the 17th Century. Please check these data with Miag-ao Parish Convent or Tourism Office or better yet the Phil. Nat’l Heritage Comission.

If, Molo church is dubbed as Women’s Church, Jaro Church which is actually St. Elizabeth Metropolitan Cathedral is known as the Men’s Church. Of course, this church is home to the miraculous Lady of Candles. Just adding more info…Thanks!
