This is a product of my painstaking research. I hope that by posting it here, I could also help some of the Fiel families out there to trace their roots in the Fiel Family Tree. If you know some of the personalities in my family tree, please leave some message for me.
First Generation – There were only two Brothers:
Elias Fiel and
Isaac Fiel. Nobody could give me the name of their parents, but I learned that they lived in Guimbangco-an, Sibonga,
Cebu. I have never been to that place. I hope to visit that place some day.
Sana may mga Fiel pa doon so that I could devote more time to get to know my roots.
Second Generation – Elias Fiel had a son named Julian Fiel. I did not know how many were the sons and daughters of Elias Fiel. Aside from Julian Fiel, I also know that Donato Fiel is also Elias’ son. I could not provide the details on the lineage of Isaac Fiel since I only concentrated my research on Elias Fiel. However, I also met some Fiel whose lineage I traced from Isaac Fiel. If they could provide me a list of names, I will be happy to post it here…
Third Generation – Julian Fiel married Timothea Mirafuentes. One of their sons was my lolo named Feliciano Fiel. According to Lolo Feliciano, they were 13 brothers and sisters but he could remember only 11 of them:
(1) Mathilde Fiel
(2) Ingracia Fiel
(3) Catalino Fiel
(4) Lupe Fiel
(5) Arsenio Fiel
(6) Regina Fiel
(7) Felisa Fiel
(8) Aurelio Fiel
(9) Feliciano Fiel
(10) “Leyang” Fiel
(11) Pedro Fiel (youngest)
Some of my lolo’s brothers were familiar to me since many of them lived in Davao. Lolo Lupe Fiel died last January 2, 2009. My lolo Feliciano “Pesing” Fiel and Lolo Pedro “Pendong” Fiel are neighbors in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur. Lolo Pesing died recently, September 3, 2008.
Fourth Generation – my Lolo Feliciano Fiel married Marcelina Merontos. Lola Celing, as we called her, died on June 30, 1989, when I was in second grade in elementary school. They owned lands in San Pedro, Kiblawan, Davao del Sur, just like the other Fiel in the place. The Fiel Clan is a very popular here in Kiblawan (one of Lolo Pesing’s cousins, Bonifacio Fiel was even a vice-mayor here before). Lolo Pesing and Lola Celing had three daughters (Remedios Fiel, Fe Fiel, Cita Fiel) and a unico hijo (Silvano Fiel).
Fifth Generation – Silvano Fiel married Catherine Castrodes. Contrary to Lolo Pesing and Lola Celing, they had four sons (Felmar Fiel [ako ito], Friam Fiel, Feliam Fiel and Francis Isaac Fiel) and a unica hija (Farrah Fiel). Interestingly, all our names start with letter “F.”
