Generally regarded as the biggest clan in Carcar. And yet, reconstruction of the family tree pointed only to a single couple.  There are other families in Carcar that had already branched out more in the same timeline.

But starting person Felipe’s having 5, maybe 6, sons to carry on the name may explain the exponentiation.

In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 331 voters surnamed Alesna (including 2 Alisna), the 5th most numerous surname in the list.

BREAKING NEWS: Just tonight (25-Sep-2009) I found the marriage record of Victorio Alesna to Benedicta Aldaya.  Dated 20-Jul-1835, the entry identified the previously unlinked Victorio Loverto’s [sic] parents as Luis Mariano and Ma. Agustina.  So, the big branch of Victorio has now been linked.

BREAKING NEWS: And then tonight (13-Nov-2009) was found the marriage record of Saturnina Alesna and Enrique Ybañez, which branch have been consigned to the bottom of this page, waiting for the day Saturnina can be linked to whichever Alesna branch she belongs to. Well, the marriage record for Enrique Ybañis [sic] with Saturnina Antonia was found as 21-Aug-1847. Saturnina was the daughter of, like the previous breaking news above, Luis Mariano and Ma. Agustina. Happily at the same time, this also links for my files Ybañez with his lineage as son of Doroteo Ybañez and Victoria Albarado [sic]. I am going to place Saturnina tentatively after Francisco Silvestre who, born 1818, would have been already 29 at that marriage date–pending the finding of pertinent dates for her and her next siblings in this tree.
