Hi Miguel, The Alvarezes and Perezes of Kabankalan share a common ancestor, Manuel Perez y Fernandez from Vigo, Spain. He was a spanish soldier stationed in Ilog town,married Tomasa and were parents of Ysidro, Pilar, and 5 other Perez siblings.Pilar married Rafael Alvarez. I don't know if he was also from Vigo. Their son Manuel married Amparo Penaflorida. Manuel and Amparo were parents of your dad, the 3rd Manuel in the family. You dad married Lourdes Montenegro (so far right?} then there were you and your sisters.Now where do I belong, a Perez? My dad's father was Ysidro, older brother of your lola Pilar.My dad and your Lolo Manoling were first cousins therefore your dad and I are second cousins.
