The most that my family on my dad’s side has remembered falls all the way back to my Great Grandfather Diego Ornido Valdez and Grandmother and Rosario Castillo. I know that my Great Grandfather Diego was a Roman Catholic priest and was very respected in the Philippines regarding the Catholic Church. He served as a priest for many years and all of his family and children (which includes my grandfather) were Catholic. He lived in the Philippines and was never made a U.S. citizen because of nation laws. He married a woman by the name of Rosario Castillo and it is not remembered the number of children that he had but among them was my grandfather Manuel Valdez.
