The Autajay family ( Antique, Philippines). Close relatives are the Moscoso, Javier (formerly Moscoso), Escaro, Zabala, Fornier, Cornelio, Lotilla, Cabrera...(No information of the Gonzales side from Zambales). Originally thought to have started as PeTaJai, traced back to "Inkong Ome" from Amoi, Fukien, China. Migrated to the Philippines and married "Imang" Gonzales of Iba, Zambales, Philippines. The couple settled in Antique, Philippines and had three children: Ciriaco Autajay, Pedro Autajay and Maria Autajay (married to Moscoso). Inkong Ome once owned a ship that travels from the port of Amoy, Fukien to the Philippines.
The Autajay's in the Philipppines are all related and their roots all trace back to Inkong Ome PeTaJai of Amoy (Xiamen), China (Fukien Province).
As of now, we are still trying to reconnect with the PeTaJai's if they still exists. One record in Minnesotta (USA) mentioned of Samuel PeTaJai who passed away in 1931. He may be a relative who knows...
