My FitzGerald & Butler Ancestries

With beloved friend Ziggy

I am one of the 8th generation descendants in the Philippines from the Noble House of the FitzGerald of Ireland. My 6th great grandfather was Felix Berenguer de Marquina y FitzGerald, the 55th Governor-General of the Philippines (1788-1793) and the Viceroy of New Spain (1800-1803) whose daughter Doña Ysabel Berenguer de Marquina y Sumulong (1799-1900) married Don Santiago Sauza (1777-1880) of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico on 19 November 1809 in Intramuros, Manila, The Philippines. Don Santiago and Doña Ysabel were the Grand Ancestors of the Familia Sauza-Berenguer de Marquina in the Philippines where I descended from their 7th child Don Miguel Juan Santiago Sauza y Berenguer de Marquina, my great great great great grandfather.

I am the 30th great grandson of Her Royal Highness Nest Ferch Rhys, the Princess of Deuhebarth and of Gerald de Windsor.

Nest first spouse was Gerald de Windsor also known as Gerald FitzWalter, the progenitor of the FitzGerald and De Barry Dynasties of Ireland and the son of Walter FitzOtho and Gwladys ferch Ryall. Her second spouse was King Henry I of England. Gerald de Windsor's father was Otho, an honorary baron at the court of King Edward the Confessor and owner of manors in five English counties.

Moreover, yours truly is the 32nd Family Historian / Genealogist / Archivist of Los Herederos delas Familias FitzGerald, Sauza, Berenguer de Marquina y Sumulong since 1727 to present.
