He was born on February 5, 1890 at Himamaylan, Negros Occidental, the Philippines. Mathias was the Father of two children, a daughter named Angelita, and a son named Rudolph. On July 13, 1967 grandfather passed away at the age of 77, his memorial is at Los Gatos Cemetary, in California. Grandpa Jugoz rarely spoke of his family in Negros Occidental. To find out who his parents were, a letter was written to the U.S. Social Security Administration. The names listed here are from the documents he filed with SSA in the early 1900's.
Jacento Jugos
Great Grandfather
Jacento was probably a decendent of the first spaniards who settled in Himamaylan, Negros Occidental. The 'Jugos', name was transposed to 'Jugoz' when Grandpa immigrated to Hawaii. I've been in communication with other Jugoses in the Philippines, they also are from the province of Negros Occidental. So far no hard evidence of relations to Mathias. Jacento was husband to Barellona Limsiaco
