Spanish roots of Yanez families in Philippines

Profile manager: Jesse Alvarez [send private message]

This project aims to determine if there is some truth to our clan oral story that our Yanez ancestor was a Spanish explorer who fought against the natives in the Philippines, and eventually married a native woman (daughter of the local chieftain) as part of their peace pact. This clan is based in Iponan, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
