To begin find a good genealogy program and start with yourself and work backwards.

You
Your parents
Your grandparents
Great Grandparents
and so forth.

There a many good programs to do genealogy with that vary in price, and some a free.

If you want to establish *your* ethnicity it can only done with solid research, documentation, and/or DNA.

DO NOT make the newbie mistake that family trees and group sheets that can be found on the internet are correct because for the most part they are not. Good solid research takes time, documents, and discipline.

On this board we can help you with research lookups, and advise. If you have a question please be specific with names of deceased ancestors, dates and locations. It helps a lot if you can provide as much info as possible.

Finally, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this page and read the FAQ, Community Guidelines, and Rules.

If you have any questions please do fire away. ☺

Re: Blanco family from Bilbao & Santander, Spain

miguelblanko — 2011-04-14 13:27:36Z

Interesting. My father Lucio met my mother who was from Vera Cruz, Mex. but my grandfather Dionicio met my grandmother (Lucinda DelaRosa) in the northern Mexico/Texas area. My dads brother worked in NY and Florida after WW2. He was Ruben Blanco. They(my grandparents) married about 1917. Although I'm sure it is there, I can't seem to find a connection w/Spain because of poor record keeping and/or lack of communication w/ distant relatives. My father came from a family of nine kids. 7 boys and 2 girls.

Blanco family from Bilbao & Santander, Spain

awblanco — 2011-04-14 11:06:53Z

My grandfather, Odilo Blanco and my grandmother, Rose Tratazor, came to Johnsville, Cal in early 1900's (via Vera Cruz Mexico & overland stage) and married there. My father, Alfred A. Blanco was born in Johnsville, California in 1912 and his sister, Irene was born there in 1914. He worked for the British America Mining Co. (Eureka Mine). I have a great uncle who once lived in Newburgh, NY, and operated a resort hotel. I have more "great-relatives" (Felix Orejos and daughter Lolina & others) who settled in Havana, Cuba - have not heard about them since the Castro take over.
Does anyone out there recognize the names or know the whereabouts of any of these people or their relatives?

pepi_blanco — 2011-04-14 10:55:31Z

I am responding to an old posting, but what the heck. All the research i have done so far indicates that the Blanco name originated in Leon Spain and possibly came over from France. My grandfather and his family is from Ribadesella Spain in the province of Asturias. From there he went to cuba. I live in Tarrytown NY, just north of NYC.

sherrillblanco — 2011-04-14 10:30:23Z

Ferdi,

Since you're from Zambales, do you know any one there who are decendants of Folgeras or Corpus family? They may have relocated because of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

Oh, by the way, is your Blanco family of Spanish decent? My Dad mentioned that my great grandfather Vicente Blanco has Spanish blood. Any info would be great! Please email me scblanco@hotmail.com. Thank you in advance, even to those who read this and think they have a connection.

Re: Francisco Reynoso Blanco of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines

Very interesting, Ferdie. I don't have my family tree in front of me at the moment, but I will check when I get home. I forgot that I signed up for this site! =) It's been so long since I've logged in. Thank you for your reply, Ferdie. Wouldn't it be neat if we were actually related??

Re: Francisco Reynoso Blanco of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines

palaminco — 2011-04-14 10:29:25Z

I hope this is not a mere coincidence but my late father's name was VICENTE BLANCO, son of Francisco Reynoso Blanco of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines. We believe that the earlier Blancos migrated to Palawan from who knows where (probably from mainland Luzon) in maybe the 17th century because my grandfather, Francisco and his siblings were all born and raised there.

I'm thinking that perhaps my father who was born in 1924 could have been named after your grandfather or that their parents may have known each other. My grandfather, Francisco died in 1966, only a few months after I was born in November 1965.

Truly yours,
Ferdie

Re: Francisco Reynoso Blanco of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines

sherrillblanco — 2011-04-14 10:28:57Z

Hi Ferdi,

My great grandfather is Vicente Blanco who married Eugenia Zapata in the Philippines, but that's all I know for now. They had 5 children. My grandfather Silverio Blanco and his wife Maria Britos are currently alive and well in Dolores, Abra. Do you think we have a connection?

Oh, I read your early posting about Zambales; my Mom's roots are from there, particularly, San Marcelino. She comes from the Dalit or Espiritu family. Her grandmother Cipriana married twice; her maiden name is Arquero. Anyways, if there is any info you can share, my email is scblanco@hotmail.com. Thank you, Ferdie!

Nice to have your reply to the message I posted before. We, the Blancos in Palawan, Philippines, indeed believe that our ancestors are from Spain, I just don't have the time to trace/research about it.

It's just wonderful to keep in touch with a fellow Blanco. Who knows, There is a great possibility that we may have the same bloodline.

Hello,
My name is Jose Blanco I live in New York. My fathers name was also Jose, he was born in Sancti Espiritus Cuba As I was. My grandfathers name was Ramon, he was born in Ribadesella, Spain and went to Cuba with his father and 2 brothers. I believe his father went back to Spain and his brothers stayed in Cuba. I think there also might be a sister. I do not know the names of the brothers and sister.
Thanks,

Yes, indeed. I have come across Patrocinio Blanco quite a few times. He was the brother of my great, great grandfather Lauro Blanco. Let me try some Spanish --> Yo pienso Patrocinio era hijo de Jose Maria Blanco, y Magdaleno era hermano de Jose Atilano Ramon de Jesus y Juan Francisco. Patrocinio era la hermano de Lauro, uno grande abuelo de mi. Jose Maria era hijo de Mauricio Blanco y Maria de Montenegro.

Re: Blanco; Santo Tomás, Guerrero, Chihuahua, Mexico

Re: Blanco; Santo Tomás, Guerrero, Chihuahua, Mexico

dblan023 — 2011-04-10 22:50:29Z

That is extremely interesting. We have the same paternal lineage. I wasn't sure where Mauricio Blanco was born, but I know his father is listed as Jose Rafael Blanco, and he married Maria Montenegro. Send me your email address and I will give all the information that I have on Jose Maria Blanco, including pictures and other bits of information. By the sound of it, you are a distant cousin.
