New Year 2009 with 'Kins

Last Christmas Family Fotos (2007)

It took Cely ages to post these beautiful photos of our nieces and nephews taken during her 2007 Christmas holiday. Busy with her last year in class at least she made it to be part of her Nursing Class Graduation (we are happy for her - wrote an article about this in my other blog with this link http://twurl.nl/bmt30k ). These fotos are also posted in our friendster group.

Nom from left with daughter, Nanay (mom) with AmonRa and Tatay (dad) and Cely. Kids from left Emon, Isis and Andre. All the kids are children of Nom and Ce-an.

Amon-ra is crying while the rest are all focused to the camera.

These 'kins (pamangkin - nephews and nieces) are so challenging to contain, a crowd-management team is needed to hold their attention for the camera. So these "Kodak-moments" of them are indeed precious to click and snap their portrait. Watch their antics and other gimmicks. From left with ball is grace, ayen, yanna, isis, eman, vj (and cousin), andre and emon.

well the boys as usual are the more active and full of attention-getting devices.
I could just imagine shouts, coaching and bribing to tell to behave and keep still.



well boys will be boys...



and then one was gone, the other going


aha!, they went in front and closer to the camera


and few were left behind...




poignant... so where have all the others gone?
(sisters ayen and yana and cousins eman and isis)




...then, there were only two of them, still dreaming, wondering? ? ?
(cousins yanna and isis)




okey change costume, let's have a Mad-Hatters Party!

Rahon-Erlano Family Tree On-line

Today I made an online family tree for Rahon-Erlano folks. Well I can't fill the info, i forgot the names of the sons of my auncles and aunts and their children so I hope they found out about it and so they get to correct it. The last time I was at the Archive of the Mormons - 5 years ago and was searching my relatives and found some of them - tracing back the Rahon lineage takes me to the early 1900's but of course the surname was changed and saw its transformation through out time I was told. The Erlano though - I was not able to fully gather all the info. Well you ought to check the birth certificates and death certificates - validate them - it was really a puzzzling experience but it was a good hunting games viewing microfilms and other documents. Now it is available on-line thanks to geni.com.
