Michael, my father's uncle, Mariano Erana was born in the Philippines. His mother, my great-grandmother was Pilar Erana who married Estanislau Cruz. I am interested in tracing our lineage to Spain, as well. (I think our ancestors left due to the Inquisition)
Years ago, my father, Alfredo Ruben Cruz, tried to find ancestors on our visits to Spain.
Perhaps we can help each other.
