Question:

Do you have any idea where the family name CA㑉ZARES came from?

My maiden name is Ca㱩zares and im from the Philippines. I just want to know where the CA㑉ZARES family name originate so i can trace my roots.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Knowing the "origin" of a name is not needed, in order to trace your roots... in fact, it can completely confuse the issues.
You already verify that YOU are from the Phillipines, which is where you start to work your ancestry. ALWAYS work from the present, backwards... proving your own records... then your parents (now you have 2 surnames to consider) then grandparents (4 surnames, since the females are from their own family), so forth.
Think PERSONS, not surnames. At some point, you will find your ancestor, of that name (or others) who may have come to the Phillipines from somewhere else. Now, the goal is to verify his/her place of origin.
