*L*Miguel, I KNOW we are related.And, we're probably related in more than one way.
I just sent some info. to this guy named Ernie.I was trying to verify how we're related since his last name is Padilla and apparently I am also a Padilla descendant, but I couldn't verify that.Instead it was HE who showed me that Kintanar website I showed you and that's how I found out we were related.

But although we are related distantly like you and I, we are related 3 ways.
And yes, you are right.You DO have an edge if you know a bit more and in that case, that would also apply w/ knowing the language.
My uncle who lives here in Los Angeles is the youngest out of 9 children.He tells me that he regrets not knowing Cebuano.His wife used to laugh b/c when they'd come to visit us in Hawai'i, my uncle would always ask me to translate what his own mother said to him.My grandmother could not speak English, although we tend to speak "Pidigin", the creole language of Hawai'i which is different from Hawaiian.Anyway, he said that the reason why he didn't understand it as much is b/c everyone else translated what my grandmother said.My grandmother was the only one who spoke Cebuano in the household.The oldest child could speak it.It seems that my grandfather could also speak Cebuano although his first language was Waray.

The first 2 links above are about my genealogy and the history of my family.The 3rd one is just the main page of my home page.I mention things that affect my life, although I don't go into detail about not learning the language, there is a section that talks about that and briefly mentions assimilation.
