Genealogy and Heritage Societies

From the mountains to the city. In a related development, Cebu heritage buffs are initiating a revival of old Parian traditions.

Trouble with this inward focus is it sets back Cebu Society to the dozen or less families of the Parian of the 1800s. Veloso, Osmeña, Rallos, Garces, Regis, Velez, etc.

Thus, if you want to identify with this old Parian, my guess is you'll just have to establish your lineage to these families. Unless it's back to the fringes for you--not much movement from your ancestors a hundred-forty years ago.
