Hello all, I just wanted to add another Tamargo. My family came from the Philippines. I don't exactly know how the Tamargo surname traveled there, but I wanted to indicate that there is another Tamargo out there.

Hi, Clarence. This is Javier Tamargo from Asturias (Spain). First of all, i´d like to say that i´m not the "Javier Tamargo" from the list below. I´m a brand new Tamargo in the list. Dealing with your question.... To my view, your surname has the same origin as others´ outside Spain. It surely comes from the times when The Philipines were Spanish. Maybe an antecessor of us went to the Ph. Islands to start a new life in pursuit of wellfare and happiness (emigration) ; i can´t reach to know about the outcome though !!!!!. Nevertheless , it´s nice to hear (read) from you and i wonder if you know any words or a little of spanish language, which was spoken in your country not so many decades ago.
Bye and greetings from northern Spain.
Javi Tamargo.

Javier, Thanks for the email. I'm sure that's how the Filipino Tamargo came to be, with the travels of the Spanish eplorers. With that in mind, there are numerous words that are similar in form and in meaning with the Spanish language.

I have no doubt that my last name orignated from another place in this world. I don't think the indeginous filipinos had souch surnames. The Spanish did have a great influence, there are the language roots, in culture and achitecture. It's nice to hear that there are more Tamargo's out there.

my name is Leopoldo Tamargo and I live in Miami FL USA. We came from Cuba in 1962 because of Castro as well. I believe there is a town in Spain called Tamargo in Asturias. I intend to visit the area this summer. My Grand mothers name was Rosa on my fathers side and Conchita on my mothers side. I believe my Granfathers name was Migel Angel Tamargo on my fathers side.

Leo, my husband is Jorge Tamargo and for years i have been trying to make a connection between all of the tamargos, unfortunately, since the records in cuba are unavailable, i am unable to link it all back to the area of spain of which you speak. i am attaching some fotos of Tamargo from our visit there in 2004. The mayor of Candamo is Miguuel (i think) Tamargo. We tried in vain to meet him. The worst part is that the names repeat themselves. Jose, Manuel, Rosa, Ramon, Antonio are used over and over. It might be due to popularity or because they are all related. I hope one day to find the connection. In the mean time, we live in Tampa where there are 4 Tamargo families, none of us related, that I can link. Some of my husband's family moved to Jacksonville and then on to Indiana and California. I would love to compare names with you to see if we have any connections between us.
Coincidently, my paternal line is from that same area, Grado (actually a little bitty "town" outside of Grado)where my aunt and cousins still live. I think you will fall in love with the area.

Cindy - we need to compare notes about our families. I am also a Tamargo in Tampa - my great-grandfather Jose Antonio Tamargo came to Ybor City from Spain around 1900, probably stopping in Cuba for a while along the way.
I suspect that the Tamargos in Tampa are linked by brothers or cousins who left Asturias about the same time but separated and arrived here decades apart. Like you said, though, records are hard to come by.

I am also a Tamargo and my family orginally is from Spain and Cuba so I would like to see if by chance we are linked. The majority of our family is currently in Florida.

the entire tree is posted here on ancestry. feel free to send me information that you would like to compare.
