Our great, great grandparents  lived most of his life in Infanta, Quezon. 

Relying on some information regarding his origins, some said that my grandparents (father side)  sailed from the nearby Bicol region to explore and start a new life away from their nuclear tribe. However, on my mother’s side were of pure Spanish origin migrated from Spain.

Though it is favourable to conclude that the CORALDES and ORTIZ  in Quezon Province are our relatives, descendants from other regions are not  to be discounted especially from the Bicol Region. It is understandable that many CORALDES and ORTIZ are now scattered around the Philippines and abroad - making us  difficult to trace them. It is therefore a real main goal of this site to re-connect and at least capture the missing links of this already huge family clan.

Tracing roots in the Philippines is not so easy. Registered births and connections are not usually gathered - old people may not be  around anymore to provide relevant information. However, there is still a hope that somewhere there are few people who can  relate back those memories.

In behalf of my family in Quezon, I would like to invite all our relations, not only confining to CORALDES and ORTIZ  but to all other clans who  directly influenced, contributed, sacrificed and devoted to make things happen - as we at now today, to please register and  continually contribute. I would also like that you consider start your own site and link to this site - very much appreciated. It should be noted that OROZCO clan are somehow an integral part of ORTIZ clan - however, history is yet to be redefined. 

Hunting, re-connecting, expanding and tracing our roots is not only fun but important to our future generations. 

Bless you all and you are all welcome in the name of our Lord Jesus, our Saviour.
