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'm still looking...

To find all the Aspiras names out there that originated in Agoo, La Union, Philippines.

If you have ties to Agoo, I hope you find this blog because we might just be related. Wouldn't that be great?

"Read" from you soon!

Hi,

My name is Ervin Aspiras. My roots can be traced from the lineage of my grandfather, Juan Jarabata Aspiras who married Gregoria Galvan Lopez. He came from Agoo, La Union but migrated to Zamboanga City during the term of President Quirino. I am also trying to trace my roots. Please follow the link -

Joe Aspiras, former Tourism Secretary was the second cousin of my father. My grandfather Juan Aspiras is related to the former Archbishop Mariano Madriaga (I think they were first cousins.).

I'm JOANA RIZZA ASPIRAS BAGANO from La Trinidad, Benguet. I don't know how we are related but I'll give a few things about my ancestry. My grandfather is Teodoro M. Aspiras, well, the middle name is Mendoza. He passed away last 2001. My grandmother's name is Fortunata D. Aspiras (the D stands for Dacanay). My grandfather is a native of Agoo, La Union. Some of my relatives say that we are somehow related o Philippine TV broadcast journalist, Jessica A. Soho. Well they say her A stands for Aspiras. I'm not sure but her family lives quite near us in Agoo.

I'm Harlene Shane Aspiras from Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. I don't know how we are related, but my grandfather told me that we came from the Aspiras of Northern part of Luzon. Most of our families there are "Ilocanos". They also said that all aspiras families are related but have lived to different places.

Hello, my name is Grace M. Estacio,33, single.. My Father, Manuel N. Estacio hails from Agoo,La Union. According to him, we are distant relative of the Aspiras-Estacio clan. I know the house of Your Lolo Jose,coz whenever we visit our uncles when i was young, we pass by that house, near the park.. my Father's ancestral house is just few streets from your lolo Jose's house... I hope this would be the start of a great friendship. We are now leaving here in SOlano,nueva Vizcaya, region 2, Philippines.. Thanks and God Bless.
