GUIANG FAMILY TREE NARRATION

The inseparable cousins, Hilario Pobre Guiang and Mauro Guiang Fuertes, after spending over 30 years in the United States of America and Canada, conducted historical research of the Guiang family from 1956 to 1967.  They started from the traceable time of DON MARTIN GUIANG in 1701.  There was no known information about Don Martin's parents and wife or any possible brothers and sisters or relatives, but history tells that families during that time typically had more than one or two children.  For more than 10 years, the late Hilario and Mauro spent enormous time and effort gathering data in order to present accurate and reliable information about the Guiang ancestry/Family Tree. The Guiang Family Tree was later updated by the late Camilo R. Guiang in 1981 and re-updated by Pascual Pobre Guiang II and Teofilo Guiang in 1985.  As production of the family tree is a continuous endeavor,  names of new Guiang’s offspring not known at the time of production of the Guiang Family Tree were not included.  However, we endeavor to keep our family tree growing and achieve its continued lineal descendant. We hope to provide you with the information to connect you with our ancestors.   

Historians explained that DON MARTIN GUIANG had two children named (1) Vicente and (2) Damiana.

(1) Vicente Guiang sired three children – Marcelino, Melchor and Francisca.

They were said to be the Guiang family’s  Magic Circle of 12.  Saturnina Faustina was married to Mario Fuertes and had five children:  Agatona, Mauro, Ciriaco, Eusebia and Marta.
