I started the BONOAN Family Tree more than 20 years ago, using an ancient word processing program then. I've graduated to the Family Tree Maker 2006 this year which was reallya big help. From 450+ individuals, the tree grew to 650+ this year. A big plus was when another BONOAN genealogist hooked up with me to share very important information about family ancestors. Currently, the tree is 8 generations high, but it still has a lot of blanks and a lot of BONOANS I still can't connect.

I've also discovered that family members have married other BONOAN family members. This is why the tree also grew quite large. My own branch appears twice since one of my male Bonoan ancestors married one of my female BONOAN ancestors.

I am finding many BONOANS through the web in different countries but I have difficulty finding them in my own. Philippine records for more than a 100 years ago are not readily available. The BONOANS are from San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. Owing to the fact that the place is quite far from Manila where I am based, I have not been able to visit it yet, although I plan to a few years from now.
