Hello,Karen,thanks for noticing my posting.My oldest Marquez relative was Saturnino Marquez,whom I have no idea when he was born or died.My Dad,his grandson,has only told me stories,but no details.My dad was born in 1910,and remembers going with his Father and grandfather to harvest fruit,and to take the animals to high ground for the winter.My dads oldest sibling was my Aunt Juliana,born in 1908,and died 1995.My Dad,Paul is still living well,turning 97 this next Jan.of 2007.The family comes from Baguio,Balaoan,La Union,Philippines.Dads other Grandfather was Telisforo Olande,his grandmother was Shona Belmonte.Dads father was Paulino,and his mother was Augustina Olande.Paulino was said to have taken care of the Spanish Armies horses,during a war.Ggrandfather Marquez is said to have been half spanish,according to my Dad,who,when he came to America was know as ,Apolonio Olande Marquez,but,changed it to Paul A. Marquez,when he became an American citizen in 1977.If you could share some information on the family,please let me know,I would appreciate your help,very much.
