About this Site

This blog was created specifically to catalogue my research, thoughts, and opinions about my genealogical research about the Jaucian Family and related family members. I may spend time writing posts related directly or tangentially related to the family but for now, this would serve as my public diary of sorts.

Why are you doing this?

Out of pure curiosity. Family genealogy has always been an intriguing topic to me as individuals and their life stories could tell you so much about the history of the community that they had once lived in. I decided to choose the Jaucians as it was quite a big name that has been repeatedly pressed on me while I was growing up.

Why “The Abaca King”?

I decided to call the page “The Abaca King” after Cirilo Jaucian, my great great great grandfather who was once called “The Abaca King of Bicol” by the people during his time due to his vast Abaca plantations and the wealth he has acquired from it. When I first read about it, it was quite the title that my relatives found hilarious that it definitely stuck, to the point that my mother mentioned that if I were to write any published articles or books about the family, I could name it “The Abaca King” as a homage to Cirilo. I decided against that but I thought it was at least a cheeky name I could use for this blog.

Who are you?

It’s hard to really say if I want to be public about my actual name at the moment but my background and reason for doing this is that I am a grandchild of a daughter of Salvador Guillermo Tell Jaucian who is the eldest son of Roman Alban Jaucian, the eldest son of Cirilo Ynson Jaucian, the renowned Abaca King of Bicol.

I had been invested in history since I was a child and that definitely includes local and familial history and had gone back and forth with this kind of research for years. After a family event, I had decided to find more information about the family and try my best to commit to actually continuing on with my research.
