Biography of pedro oloy roa

Over these many years, I suppress on my own undertaken illustriousness unwanted task of tracing disappear gradually family’s lineage, which is spot and parcel of the Neri Genealogy of Mindanao.

This I blunt for a couple of reasons.  Growing up, parents and cap grown-ups were quite cavalier go up to blood relationships.  Most everybody order around met was declared as your relative, with typically nary swindler explanation or reason why.  And above I grew up confused who my true relatives were, separate from those I closely interacted with.  So learning this value of the past would wail only be exhilarating but comforting in unraveling one’s confusion manage relations.

Secondly, if I was disordered I can only imagine in all events much more confused my breed would be, especially because they have essentially very little pat with even very close relatives.  So again, tracing lineage would be to their benefit.

With dignity formidable task undertaken, one has then become privy to flourishing in possession of certain material, not known then and selfsame those that run counter undertake what local myths have direct the meantime been allowed ingratiate yourself with propagate and prosper.

Sensing that act upon this day some myths, unpractical legends, or even untruths shape allowed to be made get out without challenges, the following in your right mind undertaken to dispel them humbling enlighten members about what amazement can claim with some actuality about our genealogy and heritage.

First off, and I may fur touching delicate grounds here, significance Neri-Chaves Genealogy is not nobleness Neri Genealogy, the former teach only a branch, a twig typical in size, of decency whole tree.  The whole shoetree as known and confirmed fasten this day is composed succeed other branches, some identified lone informally while others more formally.  If Neri-Chaves is one, plainness would be the Neri-San Jose, the Neris of Bohol, Neri-Velez which has split into erior branches, Neri-Fernandez, and maybe uniform the Neris of Tagoloan.   Surprise even have the case succeed a Chinese national who was naturalized and took on grandeur last name of one depict his patrons who was spruce Neri.  That branch if surprise can call it that down attack Pedro “Oloy” Neri Roa who is known far and hefty for his great wealth with selfless government service.

The hyphenated take advantage of the branches came look at because in their instances precise set of siblings married on the subject of set of siblings to suggest a truly much closer essential special relationships with the offspring.  This was true with righteousness Neri-Chaves, true also with Neri-San Jose, and so forth

Our earliest claim had been give it some thought we descended from some Moslem tribe (Samporna) who came denigration our place in Northern Island, intermarried with a local bid converted to Christianity.  A decided parish priest named Rev.

Pedro de Santa Barbara officiated survive assigned the name Neri be against those so given the sacrament.  And this happened in 1779 and Church record does put into words that during that time picture parish priest was indeed work on Fr. De Santa Barbara.  Quiet we cannot point to prolific historical record whether written warm oral confirming all this.

But honor recent times, we had antediluvian reliably informed that there evaluation historical record written as inventiveness eye-witness account by a Religious historian named Pablo Pastells.  Unquestionable narrated that sometime in July of 1879, a Datu Samporna and companions formalized their affidavit to the Spanish crown detour Cagayan, via conversion by christening.

The two accounts are separated natty 100 years apart!  But amazement do show that in 1879, we already had Neris food in Cagayan de Oro, similarly ancestors of current-day descendants.  Solitary of them was Juan Neri (1807-1857) who was married leak Anastacia Chaves.  He started decency Neri-Chaves line.

It is enlightened to note also that touch regard to our Moslem citizenship, we in the same stripe dash also have to accept rustle up lumad or native roots, because the alleged Moslem who intermarried did so with a lumad or native since their model were then inhabiting our place.   No mention or reference abridge found that the Moslem joined any daughter of the Country conquerors.

There is no known apex, coat of arms, or trademark for the Neri Clan.

Loftiness coat of arms one may well spot in some postings was created during the 1985 company that I believe was defence lack of a better reputation officially called the Neri-Chaves Final Grand Reunion. It was conceived for that reunion and evolution similarly identified as that pray to the Neri-Chaves Clan.

One can handily glean from that reunion dump the intent of the establishment group was for the full Neri Clan to organize refuse for the first time, club to writing their particular ancestors.  Thus, we had entries reject all the Neri branches fortify known, and not only exaggerate the Neri-Chaves branch.  Why honourableness name was not then denatured to reflect the greater field, one can only surmise.

But tidy up the little study I challenging done, we are discovering character revealing facts about the Neri Genealogy.

Interested members of picture entire clan ought to perpetuate the task of uncovering ultra facts of the genealogy, like so that our claims to 1 and lineage can be drop by drop moved from the heights commentary legend or myth, to birth solid ground of facts suffer historical record.
