- International Genealogical Index (IGI) lists the names of many deceased individuals who lived in the Philippines. This index is on microfiche at the library and at each FamilySearch Center.

Family Histories
A few families have produced histories that may have genealogical information, biographies, photographs, and other excellent information. These histories usually tell about several generations of the family. Family histories and genealogies are usually available at larger public libraries and historical societies.
The FamilySearch Library has some published Philippine family histories and newsletters. These are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog, Surname section. Only the main surnames in each family history are listed in the catalog.
If you find your surname in one of these histories, try to determine if it is your family. Not all persons with the same surname are related. Often you need to do some research in original records before you can connect your ancestry to families in these histories.
The purpose of this Arriola website is to rescue the history of our family and ancestors who lived in the Philippines during the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, from their arrival until they returned to Spain definitively, leaving family in Manila and Bacolod City.
Printed Compilations
Many individuals and societies have compiled and published ancestor lists, lineage books, and genealogy tables. These are usually about the ancestry or descent of individuals from a specific time, place, or event. For example, you may find compiled genealogies of immigrant Chinese families, soldiers who served in the War of Resistance, or members of a religious group. An outstanding compiled genealogy is:
Fernandez de Recas Garcia, Guillermo Sergio. Aspirantes americanos a cargos del SantoOficio: sus genealógicas ascendentes (Aspiring Americans in Charge of the HolyOffice: Their Genealogical Ascendancy). Mexico: Librería de Manuel Porrua, 1956. (FS Library book 972 D3fr; film 0283553.) This compilation gives genealogical sketches of 1,208 persons who applied for positions in the Inquisition from the sixteenth-to the nineteenth-centuries in Spanish America and the Philippines.
These types of records are in the locality section of the FamilySearch Catalog under:
PHILIPPINES - GENEALOGY
Manuscript Collections
Many libraries, archives, societies, and individuals have collected unpublished records about families, including the life work of genealogists, records submitted to patriotic or lineage societies, and records submitted to share genealogical information (such as pedigree charts). You will need to search most manuscript collections personally.
