Hi Rachielle! My late father's father had roots in Santa, Ilocos Sur - his mother was a Benitez and his father was a de Peralta. Also, interesting trivia about the Vergaras! I came across a website written in the 90s by a Filipino who migrated to Australia and tried to trace the entire clan. There are Vergaras in Pampanga (where my line of Vergaras came from), Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, the Ilocos region, and I think even in the Visayas.
Ay nako! Our family name Cariaga is on page 28! Interesting looking at the original 1849 edition. "You children must be informed of their family name....etc"
