FILIPINO AMERICANS SEARCHING FOR THEIR PHILIPPINE ROOTS
Today, thousands of individuals of all races are searching for their
forebears - from American Indians to those whose African, European, Latin
American and yes - Asian, specifically Filipino ancestors that arrived much
later in the country they called their second home.
There are many rewards to be derived from your ancestral quest. One is the
sheer pleasure and excitement of engaging in this fascinating hobby. As
moving as it is to read about the journey of immigrants from all over the
world to this country, consider how much more poignant it would be to find
the story of a great-grand parent's hazardous, months long voyage across
continent and oceans to reach their country of destination.
Another reward for searching your family's past is that: You will come to
know yourself better. What worthier effort, then, can we make than to seek
out the story of our ancestral past and record and preserve it for future
generations in a Family History Book? The benefits are first your own, but
the legacy to your children and grand children will be priceless.
Histrorians will write the biographies of famous families, but possibly no
one but you will trace your family history, the story of your family - a
family whose experiences helped build the world we live in today - must be
written by you. and with each passing year as older family members die, you
risk losing some of your heritage forever.
Your ancestor's recoverable documents like birth and baptismal certificates,
school records, marriage contracts, death certificates and other records wll
lead you to all the romances, adventures, humors, and pride which are your
family treasures. They will also draw the bonds of your own family unit
closer together. And these documents could help you piece together your
family's past.
