RESEARCH PROJECTS ~ DETAILS

1. Ancestral Parents  (Posted: 04/16/06)

The ancestral father of the family is Camilo N. Lotuaco. What is the middle name of our ancestral father; who are his parents; and did he have brothers and/or sisters? Same inquiry for our ancestral mother.

07/04/13 Update by H. Lotuaco: Based on the verbal statement (presently uncorraborated) of Ms. Nena Parial, a longtime resident of Gapan and whose family have been closely associated with the Lotuacos since the pre-war (World War II, that is) years, the "N" middle initial of the family's ancestral patriarch is for the surname "Navarro", which thus mean that the maiden surname of Camilo's mother is "Navarro".

4. Lotuaco - Villanueva Family Relationship  (Posted: 04/16/06; Last updated 07/04/13)

There is a close and inter-generational familial relationship between the Lotuaco and Villanueva family of Gapan, Nueva Ecija. The matriarch of the Villanueva family was Aurelia Villanueva (deceased). Mrs. Villanueva have three offsprings: Remedios (deceased), Erlinda and Aurora (deceased).

Eldest daughter Remedios Villanueva married Dodong Molano. They have 7 children: Marites, Ramon, Divina, Concepcion, Alberto, Renato and Carmencita. Middle daughter Erlinda Villanueva married Otong Tan. They have 3 children. Youngest daughter Aurora Villanueva married a former mayor of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. They have no child. (Note: The above Villanueva information were provided by Luisa G. Lotuaco).

How exactly are the Lotuacos and the Villanuevas related?

07/04/13 Update by H. Lotuaco: The family's 1st Family Tree documentation (made by the late Trinidad Magno. SEE: Item 7 below) was recently shown the writer by Remedios Malgapo vda. de Lotuaco. Based on the subject document's re-presentation, a new attempt was made by the writer to resolve the age old question: How exactly are the Lotuacos and the Villanuevas related?

To do so, the subject families' parentage and offspring have to first be individually defined and then their downstream developed relationships (i.e., marriages and offspring) tracked and connected. The simplest and clearest way of showing the latter family relationships is visually with a chart (SEE: The Genealogical Chart below). We can now definitively answer the subject question.

 How exactly are the Lotuacos and the Villanuevas related? The Villanuevas' matriarch (i.e., Aurelia Angeles) mother (i.e., Valentina Yuzon) and the Lotuacos' (comprised of the siblings Luisa, Maria, Modesta, Agustin, Nicanor, Raymundo and Galicano) mother (i.e., Julia Yuzon) are sisters. Valentina Yuzon married Benito Angeles and they have one offspring: Aurelia.  Julia Yuzon married Camilo Lotuaco and they have 7 offspring (i.e., the Lotuacos): Luisa, Maria, Modesta, Agustin, Nicanor, Raymundo and Galicano. Therefore, the Lotuacos and the Aurelia Angeles are first cousins. Aurelia Angeles married Getulio Villanueva and they have 3 offspring: Remedios, Erlinda and Aurora. Therefore, the children of Aurelia Angeles Villanueva and the children of the Lotuacos are second cousins. 

Note also that Valentina Yuzon had a second marriage to Renato Magno and they had 3 offspring (i.e., the Magnos): Lauro, Pacita and Trinidad (the latter being the author of the family's 1st Family Tree documentaton). Therefore, the Lotuacos and the Magnos kinship is also at the first cousins category; and the children of the Lotuacos and the children of the Magnos kinship is also at the second cousins category.

In answering the subject question, we have also defined how the Lotuacos are related to Trinidad Magno and the Dayaos (i.e., the offspring of Pacita Magno's marriage to Panfilo Dayao and the children of the Lotuacos are second cousins). 

Note: The above chart was Visio-drawn by Violeta G. Lotuaco based on the hand drawn chart made by Horatio Lotuaco.

5. Lotuaco Names-to-Connect  (Posted: 05/01/06)

The following names are most possibly relatives. The individuals are probably the child or spouse of a Lotuaco. It would make our family records more complete and accurate if we could "connect" the names to their respective family. Thus, if you happen to know the person(s) listed, please email to: .

ANGELITO C. LOTUACO (P.I.)
CHRISTOPHER S. LOTUACO (Resolved)
JEANNE ROSE LOTUACO (U.S.; CA?)
JOSE LYNDON LOTUACO (P.I.)
MARIA KING LOTUACO (U.S.)
PAUL MICHAEL LOTUACO (P.I.; Mapua engineering student; 2005)

Findings:

a. "CHRISTOPHER S. LOTUACO" is the husband of Adelwisa G. Lotuaco (Source: Cora T. Lotuaco; Date: 02/18/07)

6. Meaning of the name "Lotuaco"  (Posted: 04/16/06)

A Chinese-Filipino engineer  (born in the Philippines, grew up in China, speaks-and-writes Chinese, and also a naturalized American), informed this writer (H. Lotuaco) that the name "Lotuaco" is of Chinese origin, that the name carries meaning, and that one of those is that the family originally hailed from the Chinese southern province of Fujian (which sounds similar to "Fujien" and "Fukien").

7. 1st Family Tree Research - Original Manuscript  (Posted: 01/24/2007)

8. The Ancestral House Today  (Posted: 03/01/2007)

The ancestral house is where the family's children of Camilo and Julia Lotuaco (i.e., Luisa, Agustin, Nicanor I, Galicano, Raymundo, Maria & Modesta); the children of Raymundo and Pacita Lotuaco (i.e., Renato I, Felizardo, Crispino and Horacio); and the child of Renato I & Remedios Lotuaco (i.e., Renato II) grew up in. The house is located at J. Malgapo St.; Gapan City, Nueva Ecija (Philippines).  The house is believed to have been constructed either during the late 1800s or early 1900s.  When the house was actually built and whether the Lotuacos were the original owners are presently not known.
