Objectives of the Research Project
The study generally aimed at tracing the peopling of Cotabato and its immediate environs with Spaniards starting from the latter part of the Spanish rule (1859's -1900). More specifically, it aimed to:
1. Trace the families of Spanish roots and document the events or circumstances that led them to settle in
the Cotabato region.
2. Find out how these families feel being progenies of Spanish nationals and identify those traits they have
that "make them Spanish".
3. Determine the size of their clan by way of plotting their family tree or genealogy.
4. Determine how their Spanish progenitors affected or influenced life in the community where they lived.
