My great grandparents were Benito Guillermo (Chinese immigrant who adopted the Catholic priest's name from what I understand) and Benedicta Dagta Guillermo (Filipina). I was hoping to find out our Chinese last name which got changed to Guillermo. My grandfather Leon Dagta Guillermo (one of the sons of Benito and Benedicta) was born in 1912 and most of the Guillermo's now reside in Legazpi, Albay, Philippines, nowadays. If anyone knows of a link to the Guillermo family, please send me an email to mhybork@gmail.com. Thank you.

Same here. Great grandpa died a long time ago. Great grandma died last year, we got the bit of intel from her. I had the priviledge of meeting some pretty old Guillermo, such as one of my fathers uncle Frank Guillermo, he was 110. Died around 1999 if not mistaken. But if you go to San Jose de las Matas a campo in Santiago you will find a lot of Guillermo. Just mentioning the lastname will get you plenty of info.

No problem. If I find any more info i will post it. I cannot get facebook due to occupation restrictions not a personal choice. If you find any more information from your grandfather it will also be helpful to know because it helps me know more of my origins. I am located in NYC and there are quite a few of us up here. I have met a few with our last name who I did not know and been able to trace them back through their parents and grandparents to the guillermo family from the cibao region.

Hey whats up I just received your message. I asked my father who knows a bit of intel and he agrees. I am a direct descendant of Cesareo Guillermo by my fathers side. Cesareo was my fathers grandfathers grandpa, if you can put that together. Candido Guillermo who was my fathers grandpa. Jacinto Guillermo was Candidos grandfather. And yes Cesareo was a caudillo for a very short period of time as i am told.

Hello Nelia:
Saw your message. I don't really have much more info than you saw in my original post (from 2001). For laughs, I have become a Facebook friend of a Cesareo R. Guillermo who resides in SD, DR. We have communicated a little bit over my paternal grandfather Federico's membership in a fraternal organization in DR (Odd Fellows).

I am a descendant of cesareo guillermo from dominican republic, he was a caudillo, technically a president... back in 1879 we didnt have any presidents in the island. i would love to get in contact with you, it seems we might be related. my grandpa's name is tomas antonio guillermo and he's still alive, although he is in his 90's.

Re: Looking for information on surname Guillermo from Puerto Rico, Dom. Rep.

neliaperez1 — 2010-11-16 07:00:54Z

Hi, my name is nelia perez guillermo. Im from dominican republic and a guillermo from my mom's side. While i dont know exact years, my grandfather has told me that there is only one guillermo family in the dominican rep., he says that there were 2 brothers that came to DR from spain, they both settled in the cibao region, specifically the city of santiago and san francisco de macoris. I am from san francisco de macoris, and all guillermo's in my town can be easily traced back to my granpa or one of his brothers. What i found most interesting about your post is that u mention a man named cesario, we also have a "cesareo" in my family, he was my grandfather's grandfather, he was also a dominican "caudillo" (they used to be kinda like presidents before the term 'president' was being used in the island) around 1879, he is briefly mentioned in dominican history. i know that the guillermo's from santiago are distant cousins, but i dont know much about them besides that; However, my grandpa is still alive so i have a chance at asking him more about the family. My family used to be very powerful in my town when my mom was a child, they used to own a lot of land, and they didnt migrate much so i really dont know if we had other ancesters in the USA. hopefully this can help you, who knows! maybe we are distant cousins too.
My grandfather's name is tomas antonio guillermo.

Keoni,
The Guillermo surname appears in my family tree. My grandfather was from the PI, his full name was Louis Guillermo Vicente. Children born to Filipino couples usually were given their mother's maiden name as the child's middle name. This makes my greatgrandother a Guillermo. I believe her first name was Saturnina. Contact me if you have any connections at madkat143@aol.com
