Re: the San Diego family name. I was told Obando until 1754 was part of Polo (now Valenzuela). Independent since 1623, Polo’s patron is San Diego de Alcala. Polo even predates San Diego, California.
Comment by Vip Aleonar 10.27.2008 @ 01:58that’s interesting, vip. the church records i have found most helpful are from the san pascual baylon parish. if i were to look for ROQUE SAN DIEGO’s records or that of his parents, polo would be a good alternative target. good stuff!

Comment by Mona Magno-Veluz 10.17.2010 @ 17:02Hi Mona, Alright I just info u that my grandfather Liberato Mendoza San Diego was born in Bunsuran, Pandi, Bulacan in Jan 06, 1891. He’s the son of Pedro San Diego & Ana Mendoza. They worked as fishponds in Bulacan, Malabon & Pampanga. Let’s know i will find Pedro’s middle name. Pedro Yap San Diego or other ?
Thank you very much, Arnel
Comment by Arnel Cruz San Diego 11.09.2010 @ 00:12Hi Arnel. It would be difficult to assume Pedro is also from the Yap family (especially since the Yap’s are based in Cebu). I did a quick search on FamilySearch.org and found multiple Pedro’s — see here: http://bit.ly/bYHmYi. I hope this points you in the right direction.
