My grandmother born in 1854, Los Angeles, CA married a
Fernando de Celis.Thus my interest in the Celis family.
My father's notes indicate that the family had Spainish
landgrants, which brought part of the family to America
in 1824 (the late 1700's is also mentioned as a 1st visit)
A landgrant was also issued in the Phillipines.Don Miquel
Gutierrez in Manilla was a family connection in 1916?, when
my grandmother and father spent 9 months visiting.
Coats of arms?My Dad says there were 4 issued to the family.I'll have to look them up, but I know their is a
good sketch of one of them.There are smaller sketches, too, and they may represent some of the other 3.I don't
recall the details.
This may or not be helpful to you.If you think that it is
I have other information.I certainly hope this note finds
you!your posting is dated 3/29/02.
