ASPIRAS ANCESTRY: I found a cousin, DIONISIO ORILLE ASPIRAS, JR.

Are we related?

If you are a descendant or a relative of
TEODORO G. ASPIRAS and AMBROSIA ESTACIO FANGONILO
from Agoo, La Union, in the Philippines,
then this is your blog!

I am his direct descendant who wants to know who else is related to me.
He and his wonderful wife had 9 children. His youngest daughter and 7th child, Carmen F. Aspiras, married Adonis R. Lacho and I am their 5th child. I am now married to Charles Mathews and now known as
Carolyn ASPIRAS Mathews.

Join me if you are a blood relative, either distant or direct. Let's see how prolific our lineage truly is!

LITTLE KNOWN FACT:
My mom told me that my grandfather and the mother of the late
JOSE D. ASPIRAS
Former Philippine Minister of Tourism,
are first cousins, so he and my mom are second cousins.
He is known to the family as "Pepito or Peping".

I found a cousin, DIONISIO ORILLE ASPIRAS, JR.

Current Location: USA

A Christmas portrait worth sharing...

He is my first cousin, his dad, DIONISIO FANGONILO ASPIRAS, SR. and my mom are siblings (refer to side tab). Yep, my mom Carmen is Dioni's dad's baby sister. I found him via email because of one of my endless hunts for more Aspiras within our line. It was cool when he responded and quickly found out that we are indeed first cousins. He met my mom only once though he and I have never met in person. Maybe someday, now that we know we live in the same state!

Here are more pictures of his beautiful family:
