History[editedit source]

Source: Lanao del Sur LGU

Lanao del Sur has a long and colorful history to share. The Darangen epic, famous among the Maranao, relates about the events and people and gives description to the old towns during pre-colonial times. Lanao is the home of the Maranao Sultanate known today as the four principalities or Pat a Pangampong sa Ranao, namely Masiu, Unayan, Balo-i and Bayabao. The Sultanate governs independently through an unwritten code referred to as Igma Ago Taritib (literally: Order and Consensus). Its political power and domain is equally recognized by the state like those in Sulu and Maguindanao. In the heyday of colonialism, Lanao is proud to have resisted the succeeding foray of Spanish, American and Japanese intrusions.

The creation of Lanao del Sur is dated during the height of the Commonwealth government campaign for settlement in Mindanao. The undivided Lanao was administratively part and a political unit of the Moro province by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 787. Thereafter, in May 27, 1959 by virtue of Republic Act No. 2228, the unified Lanao was divided into two distinct provinces, namely Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Sur. Lanao del Sur was officially chartered on July 4, 1959.AsiaPhilippines Lanao del Sur Province

Research Methods[editedit source]

The vast majority of your family research will be in civil registration and church records. This article explains different methods for obtaining these records.

Civil Registration (Registros Civiles)[editedit source]

• The recording births, marriages and deaths, provides important information of events in a person's life and required valid evidence, making these records very important.
• Most vital records from before 1889 come from Catholic parish and diocesan archives.
• In 1889, the Spanish government created the Central Office of Statistics, which required each parish priest to give the government a detailed list of the births, marriages, and deaths in his area.
• After the Philippine Revolution of 1898, the church and state became separate. Within the first few years, officials responsible for civil registration were appointed in each municipality.
• In 1930, civil registration became mandatory and, in 1932, the Bureau of Census and Statistics was created to oversee all civil registration in the Philippines. It was not until 1940 that most registrations began to be recorded.
• Contents:
  • Births: Child’s name, birth date and place; parents’ names, residence, and occupation; witnesses’ ages, relationships, residences.
  • Marriages: Bride and groom names, ages, residences, occupations, marriage date and place; sometimes ages and/or birth dates and places; parents' names; residences, occupations; witnesses and officer who performed ceremony; former spouses.
  • Death registers: Name of deceased, age, death date and place, occupation, name of surviving spouse, informant’s name and residence, cause of death, sometimes birth date and place, parents’ names, children’s names.
  • Fetal deaths: Record of all stillbirths, includes information similar to birth and death data shown above.
• Population coverage: Before 1922, 20%; after 1922, 90%.

Church Records[editedit source]

Church records are very important for family research. Civil authorities did not consistently register vital events in the Philippines until the nineteenth century. Church records, on the other hand, were well kept from 1569 (in accordance with the directives of the Council of Trent), with some records dating even earlier. They are generally an excellent source—and many times the only source—of names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. Key records are baptisms/christenings, marriages, and deaths/burials.

Generally registers exist for the following denominations:

Other religious groups in the Philippines:

• Islam (Muslim immigrants and converts 11th-15th centuries, also called Moros)
• Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian (Some Chinese immigrants arrived in the 16th-19th centuries, but many more arrived in the 20th century)
• Hindu (East Indian immigrants arrived in the 20th century)
• Jews (Arrived in the 20th century)

Contents:

• Baptismal records: Baptism dates; children’s names; parents’ residence and names (sometimes mother's maiden name is given); witnesses’ and godparents’ names, and sometimes their residence and relationship to infants; sometimes grandparents’ names.
• Marriage records: Candidates’ names; marriage and/or proclamation dates; often birth places, residence, witnesses, former spouses and parents’ names.
• Death/burial records: Name of deceased; burial date; often age and cause of death; residence; spouse’s name, especially for women; parents’ names for deceased children.

3. Writing to Request Records[editedit source]

Unless you know your ancestor was of another religion, begin by searching Catholic records. Lanao del Sur Province is in the Prelature of Marawi. Write or telephone to inquire whether the diocese holds the parish records:

Prelature of Marawi
Bishop's House
Saint Mary's Church Compound
0251-A Bato Ali St.
Moncado Colony, 9700 Marawi City
Philippines

Telephone: (0908)884-9833

Or write directly or call the parish. See The Catholic Directory for addresses and telephone numbers for parishes.

For other religions, Google the denomination and the location. Many churches maintain websites.

Write, call, or personally visit the parish or church. Ask for permission to study their records or make arrangements for them to search for you. It is usual to pay for their help in the form of a donation to the church. When you write, send the following:

• Full name and the gender of the person sought.
• Names of the parents, if known.
• Approximate date and place of the event.
• Your relationship to the person.
• Reason for the request (family history, medical, etc.).
• Request for a photocopy of the complete original record.
• Check or cash for the search fee (usually about $10.00).

English is the official language of the Philippines. This Letter Writing Guide will help you with organizing your letter and phrasing your requests.

Reading the Records[editedit source]

• Many records are written in Spanish. You do not have to be fluent in Spanish to read your documents. Genealogical records usually contain a limited vocabulary. Use this Spanish Genealogical Word List to translate the important points in the document. Handwriting skills are taught in BYU Spanish Script Tutorial.

• Online interactive slideshow lessons are available to help you learn to read these records:

• Detailed instructions for reading Spanish records, examples of common documents, and practice exercises for developing skills in translating them can be found in the Spanish Records Extraction Manual.
• The Spanish Documents Script Tutorial also provides lessons and examples.
  

Tips for finding your ancestor in the records[editedit source]

Effective use of church records includes the following strategies.

• Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his brothers and sisters.
• Next, search for the marriage of his parents. The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.
• You can estimate the ages of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records.
• Then repeat the process for both the father and the mother.
• If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes.
• Search the death registers for all known family members.
