hi! My grandfather's name is Materno Llanes. He claims that his roots came from spain. We are here in the Philippines. All I know is my grandparent's family is in Ilocos region. I am really glad to have stumbled upon this link. It really is nice to have learned of other Llanesses outside our country. Hope to hear more from you and the other Llanesses who posted here. Thanks and God bless
