The following is quite simply a mess.
I have to arrange this into a more organized format, so that it is more easily read by the reader. For now, what I have is an excerpt from my Journals. This will take a while longer to arrange, and eventually I'll have composed a real family tree graph, so that it makes more sense.
Hypothesis: I suspect that my genetics have been somehow refined down through my family on both sides. The gene may actually be in my Father, and both of his parents, as well as my Mother and both of her parents.
My Mother:
We will look at both of her parent's lineage, mother and father.
My Mother's Father is de la Vega:
Translated, de la Vega means "Of the Vega". The Vega is two things; a Spanish Sir name, given by the Spanish Conquistadors when they took over the Philippines. And the word Vega also refers to the name of a Star.
Garcilaso de la Vega was the son of Sebastian de la Vega, a Spanish Conquistador, and Inca Princess, Palla Chimpu Ocllo. Garcilaso became a respected historian and scholor on the mysteries of the Incas, and published the great work, "The Royal Commentaries of the Inca".
"The de la Vega House" as my Uncle Dennis called it is in Cusco, Peru, and later came to be known as the Church of Santa Domingo.
The Church of Santa Domingo, and the Temple of the Sun
The Church of Santa Domingo was built upon the foundations of one of the most important and sacred sites in Peru, Coricancha.
(1.)"Cuzco was laid out on a grid plan in the shape of a puma, a sacred mountain lion. The pre-Inca site of Sacsayhuaman, on a plateau on the northern edge of the city, forms the head of the puma and the Coricancha temple forms the center of the grid.
"The Coricancha was the centerpiece of a vast astronomical observatory and calendrical device for precisely calculating precessional movement.
"Emanating from the temple were forty lines (some sources say 42) called seques, running arrow-straight for hundreds of miles to significant celestial points on the horizon. Between 328 and 365 huacas or shrines were situated along these ceques. Four of the ceques represented the four intercardinal roads to the four quarters of Tawantinsuyu, others pointed to the equinox and solstice points, and still others to the heliacal rise positions of different stars and constellations highly important to the Inca. The Inca also used the Coricancha in conjunction with standing stones called sucancas positioned on the horizon of nearby mountains for determining the dates of the solstices and equinoxes, as well as monitoring the passage of precessional time. The great temple also incorporates a prominent solar alignment using a nearby peak called Pachatusan as a sightline for the June solstice. The elliptical exterior wall of the temple may have served as a model of the celestial ecliptic.
"The Coricancha temple (meaning literally, "the corral of gold") was dedicated primarily to Viracocha, the creator god, and Inti, the Sun god. The Coricancha also had subsidiary shrines to the Moon, Venus, the Pleiades, and various weather deities."
The Church of Santa Domingo, formerly Coricancha, sits on intersecting energy grid ley lines which run all over the earth and intersect at every other ancient site in the world.
It is interesting that Garcilaso is buried there at the Church of Santa Domingo, while many other important people throughout history have also chosen to be buried under intersecting energy ley lines. (Egyptian Pharaoh's buried in pyramids are laid to rest under the convergence of ley lines.) It's said, and I most definitely believe as well that these ley lines act as a gate, or portal to the heavens.
My Mother's Mother's Maiden name is de Loyola.
de Loyola also married into the Incans. I read that the de Loyola family married the -two last living survivors of the Inka royal line. One of the names of the Incan Princesses was, "Nusta Beatriz Clara Cova"
The most major character in history in de Loyola lineage can be traced is Ignatius de Loyola, who founded the Jesuit Order in the 15th ct.
The Marriage of Inca Royalty to de Loyola
My mother is Filipino, and descendant of the Spanish Conquistadors de la Vega and de Loyola, and so that doesn't necessarily mean that we are directly linked to the Inca Royalty strain of the family. We are however directly linked to the Spaniard Conquistadors. We find the Inca connections interesting, because of the Dragon cultures that originated in Peru. At the same time, the lineage between the Inca/Spaniard relating to Garcilasso shouldn't be necessarily counted out, until we find out their respective timelines.
The Marriage of de la Vega and de Loyola
The marrying of de la Vega and de Loyola was not only done in my Mother's generation, but we've found that they have married before, some three or four hundred years back. They seem to stick together throughout history. We are currently looking for more records of genealogy.
Where the Rh Negative is traced
I suspect that the only way that the Rh Negative to have finally shown in my generation is if my Mother married my Father, who has many recessive genes for the Rh- as well, because of his Viking ancestry. (another culture who carries a high percentage of Rh-)
Rh Negative blood is extremely rare. Only 15% of people in the world born with Rh Negative Blood. In Spain, the Basques people have the highest concentration. Of the Basque population, 45% to 55% have RH Negative blood.
Ignatius de Loyola was Basque. This points to my Rh Negative blood, and it's being traced to the Basques, since rh- strictly hereditary.
More on what I found regarding Rh Negative blood can be found HERE
My Father:
Our original name, the given name (listed in records of naturalization) isn't Smith, but was actually Jernquist (It's also written with different spelling, but I'm not sure which is the correct spelling, since I never actually wrote it. I've never really asked my Dad how to spell it.) I don't know why they changed it to "Smith". My dad told me that it was just because it sounded "more American". I guess that's what all people say when they change their last names. "It's more American".
My Father is 3/4 Swedish. Swedish were once the Vikings.- he's always said he had viking blood. The other 1/4 is made up of Mayan, and French.
My Father's Parents are:
Grandfather David: 100% Swedish
Grandmother Liliana: French, Swedish, Mayan
My grandmother Liliana and her heritige:
She is part French, Swedish, and Mayan. I'm not exactly sure of the correct measurements. I think she is 1/8 Mayan. I don't know anymore than that. Again, I have to ask my father about these details. I plan to ask him a series of questions, with out letting on what I am getting to. Right now he has no knowledge of this research. I want to ask him on video, so that I can get fresh, first time answers, and so that we can see him searching his mind, with no previous ideas about what I'm gearing up to unload on him. I don't want his knowledge of my doing this research to sway his answers to my questions.
...and we finally come to the marriage of my Mother and Father, Yvonne Brigida de la Vega, and Eric Dana Smith.
They had a baby born under the "Lion's Gate" with Rh Negative blood. Finally, the Rh Negative shows again. There is also new information that I've found in regards to my birthday. August 17th is a Harmonic Convergence date! More on that Here
About my boyfriend: His last name is also Smith, and that's by coincidence! As I said before, my Father's family's last name used to be Jernquist. When they migrated to the US, they took the name Smith during the Naturalization process. I don't know why they changed it to Smith. I'd like to know about weather or not it was picked, or if the name was given to the Jernquist.
Ryan's last name is also Smith. From England, his family arrived here on the Mayflower, and he is a direct descendant of Ulysses S. Grant. (I'm not at liberty to say anymore about it than that)
(another divine betrothal?)
The first conversation we ever had was about the stars. I was at this dive sitting by myself (my friend went to talk to someone) in the outside patio, and walked up and said, "Have you seen Jupiter tonight?" And pointed it out to me. We connected on that since it was actually an interesting conversation, and didn't separate..By the way, I'm not sure if there is a phrase, "Divine betrothal".... but I'm just trying to make sense of how these connections were made.
An interesting synchronicity within my name:
Bea = Beatriz
Bia - Inca = Bianca
Danae = DNA
"Bianca Danae = the Incan DNA of Bea"
This is an interesting synchronicity that I found with my name, but as I said further up the page; we might not be directly linked to the Inca strain of ancestry, because although both de la Vega and de Loyola married in Peru, they also married in the Philippines, and we are of the Filipino line of descent. We just find interesting, because of the mysterious culture and histories that surround the Inca culture.

Oh my god Bianca.
Stop capitalizing my last name. Stop capitalizing the last name of my mother and your grandmother and your grandfather and all the way back into the furthest reaches of "de"!!!
I cannot read further until you have returned every "De" back to "de".
Let me explain something. When I buried your Grandfather Silverio, we were very upset that the name engraved on his epitaph read "Silverio Duro DeLaVega".
Dennis call it a blatant disrespect.
I agree. Now my father is removed -according- to the grave-site- from the "de la Vegas".
Now get it right or go no further.
Mom.
Ok. You haven't changed the last name so- whatever. Here's some info Bee...
Sixto de la Vega was very stern. He was the Superindant of all schools or some title to that flavor... I'll have to research it but in any case there is a "de la Vega" wing in the University in Manila in his honor. Sixto was my father's father. So then too, your Grandfather or Lolo.
I have to ask Cousin May, perhaps, as not only is she the most informed on my father's generation and their elders, but she also attended Berkley up north where the most extensive library on the very topic: the history of the Philippines in the the United States is available. May, or Alexandria de la Vega is my first cousin and was a baby when her mother died. Her father was my father's closest brother, Alejandro, who cousin May was formally named after. Her mother, Auntie Grace who I'd had the honor to meet in the Philippines back in 1967, passed away upon given birth to Alexandria in 1972, when Alejandro was living with us in my father's home in Carson, California and was attending college here by the grace of my father, his brother of 1 year his senior. You with me?
This really is leading to the actual meeting and now what I am suspecting to be "bethrothal" of Silverio duro dela Vega to my mother Aurelia de Loyola.
It really is Bee, but bear with me... I have to eat something, BRB.
I must add here, that I am witnessing "first hand" the changing of the ancestors' names through time.
In re-reading my last post Bianca, I realized that as I am perturbed at your "mis-caseing" of the de la Vega and de Loyola surnames...
I am guilty of perhaps misspelling "Alexandria" and "Alejandro", as they may easily look just as correct when spelt "Alessandro and Alessandria".
Still eating lunch be back again.
Okay so I ordered some granola and I poured that into a half mango that I got from Sun Valley.
Did you know that the mangos in San Carlos, Pangasinan, on the Island of Luzon where your Lolo is from have been declared by the Government of the Island, "the best mangos in the Country?"
That's what I learned when I went back last year to bury your Lolo.
And indeed, they are suh-weeeeet! So good Bianca, I wish you could experience this very soon.
Okay where was I?
Oh yeah my dad. He and his brother Alex ran away from home when your Lolo Silverio was 17 years old. This is an interesting story, of course told to me by May or Alexis. Yes- these are the western versions of their names and the name by which I have always called them.
They ran away to become sailors in the United States Army, leaving the province of Pangasinan and their only familiar home in San Carlos. My father was angry with Sixto. He blamed his father for the death of his mother and Alex's mother whose name was... I'll be right back, it's in the notes I took of our immediate family tree last year during my visit...
Severina Duro. That is my Lola on my father's side. In the Latin cultures, it is common and reverent that a newborn child of either gender be given the mother's surname as a continuation of the middle name.
So thus your Lolo's full name, Silverio Duro de la Vega.
Your Lola Aurelia Letrondo de Loyola. Ah hah- and here we will soon swerve onto the father of my mother whose name I've yet to research. The de Loyola Family tree.
This is slow work and I don't have your stamina in this, as my blood is not as rare and yet my ability and make up is still the common to bring on the rare... I'm somewhat obligated. But why did the ancestors include such an A.D.H.D in my genius?
I best jump forward to the meetining of my parents as the info above is somewhat beyond my immediate interests...
When my father left port from Manila, embarked upon a whole new life and the "New World", which was during WWII and hardley new any longer, he was forced to leave Alessandro behind.
Sixto was a stern and powerful man. He sent his men to follow the two teens Silverio, his oldest and embittered firstborn son and Alessandro his 2nd born son.
Sixto's men found the two teenagers in Manila minutes before they were to be formally enlisted in the United States Navy. The messengers pleaded with Silverio to come home to his father and bring his younger brother home as well.
My father was a gemini and very sure of his childish man's decision. He would not return, but with compassion toward his father Sixto, he did release his younger brother Alex to the men and said his farewells to them all instructing his father's footmen to extend his love and farewell to the remaining younger brothers and sister.
His farewell included the promise to Allessandro to send for him as soon as he could establish his own fortune in America. As we know by now, indeed, Silverio kept that promise.
Let me correct the name of Alexis' mother and Allejandro's wife. Auntie Velma. Velma was May's mother who died giving birth to Allessandra, Alexis, May.
I vividly remember the phonecall from Manila. When Uncle Alex was here living with us. Yes... however many years it took my father, he kept his promise and sent for Alex who attended college to later become the de la Vega family Attorney.
That phone call was half joy half sorrow: Velma gave birth to a beautiful and healthy little girl. But Velma had passed in the birthing.
But I'll return to years before, when Silverio was alone boarded and stationed on the U.S.S. Nimitz headed for the South China Sea first and the United States next, and was now a Philippine American citizen ready to serve both of his countries, now on his own and gone from the First Clan of the de la Vegas of the Philippines.
It was then that he first saw the photograph of Aurelia. His compadre, which translated is bunkmate, Gani Pastor has Scotch taped the photo of her next to his many other friends and family he'd just left behind.
Silverio became mesmerized by her face. Yet there was something tough about her.
Gani validated this. He told "del" that "Inday" was a tomboy. She was a Physical Education coach at the college and hung out mostly playing sports with the boys. She was one of Gani's "comadres".
Translated, she was a homie.
brb- Mom
Bianca,
My last break was enlightening in 2 ways. I sat on the toilet and pondered as I disposed of the unwanted waste that would never register as value toward any bloodline.
The 2nd enlightenment is this:
When Auntie Velma passed away, she left behind Jojo de la Vega and the newborn Alexis, or once again, my cousin May.
Very soon after Auntie Velma passed, her sister Auntie Inez was flown out to America to marry Uncle Alex.
Yes! that's what I said. I forgot about this but it is very important.
It struck me as totally odd being the American born daughter of Silverio that I was, and first born American de la Vega female of the 21st Century... it struck me as odd that Auntie Inez was sent abroad from the P.I. to take the place of her deceased sister Velma.
My parents explained that this was customary. That when a de la Vega is widowed so young and with children, it is customary that the sister next and after the deceased become the betrothed and next in line to marry the widower.
Think about this Bianca!
More than likely, the ancestors that laid this golden rule and custom had knowledge of bloodline... are you getting it?
With me? Oh the power of the Word! I have always said that the "Word is alive". I was wondering as I pecked away at this simple story of your Lolo and Lola... I wondered why I kept returning to the story of Alex and May...?!! It was a tangent that persisted in order that I be reminded of this odd custom.
Long story short, Uncle Alex had been in America too long to marry his wife's sister. He was not "in love"... he would not accept the betrothal custom.
Wow. Whatever the case, we have here the proof of a "betrothal custom" in the history of the de la Vega family...
Returning to my mother and her photo, another pet/nickname for my father silverio, was "Bering". (So many names, I know).
Bering asked Gani if he could write Aurelia as a penpal, which was a popular trend back then. They didn't have the Internet.
Snail mail was expedient and faaaast. Ha-ha.
I guess Gani wrote Inday, told her of Bering. She returned an answer possibly weeks later and for the next two years Bering - Silverio Duro de la Vega and Inday- Aurelia Let-rondo de Loyola were penpals.
They fell in love on the page. My father proposed on the page before they ever met.
After two years of poetic romance, my mother Aurelia agreed on the page, to marry Silverio.
The rest is history.
Next I'll tell you about how you might not have ever been born. My mom almost died giving birth to your Uncle Dennis who is a year older than me. He came out breached and Mommy lost so much blood. She almost died and I was scheduled by the Gods to be born next.
Once again, the rest is History...
I fixed the De La Vega to de la Vega. How am I supposed to know? I grew up writing Smith all my life. :)
I also added something that I found last night, which is that Garcilaso de la Vega is buried in the Chuch of Santa Domingo, which was originally the Inca Temple of the Sun. What I found last night is that the Temple of the Sun is actually built on the convergence of Energy Grid Ley Lines! This is also the way Egyptian Pharoes lay to rest, under intersecting ley lines! Get it? BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!
Hi Yvonne! (and Bianca!)
I am Henry Leonard Pirante de Loyola, born and raised in Ormoc City, Philippines.
My father ::: Victoriano Letrondo de Loyola
My mother ::: Ma. Dolores Aparis Pirante
Facts: (Thanks to my elder brother, Elmer Gabriel de Loyola for helping me provide these.)
1. Victoriano (Vic or Tolaise as he was fondly called) and Aurelia (or Tiya Inday) are siblings. Oh, Yvonne! That makes us cousins(?), FIRST DEGREE! And Bianca, my niece!
2. Vic and Tiya Inday had another brother, Uncle Lucas "Luking" who married Telesfora "Teling" Carillo. One of their daughters, Ate Amy has since lived in Florida. I havent gotten the chance to meet her personally. Her name (and Tiya Inday's) would just surface during and every de Loyola get-togethers in Ormoc.
3. My memory of Aunt Aurelia (Tiya Inday) rests only on seeing her photos hanging on the wooden tall walls and neatly organized albums at their old Spanish house at Bonifacio Street, Ormoc, two decades ago. Now that blissful house underwent a renovation and was transformed into a business/office settlement. I still have fond memories of Tiyo Luking's house taking elderly advises and teases from big cousins: Kuya Boy, Kuya Eric, Ate Babie, Ate Helen, Ate Charice. All of them except Ate Amy...
3. I am the eighth in the brood of nine. Big family huh! One would know the order of our birth by the first letter of our names, they are arranged alphabetically. Hence, Henry, the 8th.
My sibs, your cousins:
Alden Victoriano
Bopep Peter
Chico Francis Michael
Digna Claire
Elmer Gabriel
Felipa Gisella
Garreth John
Irene Narcissa
4. My mother (your Tiya Loling) and my brothers are in States. I'm not sure if you have met Chico Francis Michael "Kingking" already.
A multiply.com online cousin-contact Grace Letrondo forwarded me this link. And am I grateful to her for finding our paths here at the Web. I owe her big time. We also learned that we're related after we're caught up in "the Web". Thanks to multiply.com
