Climbing Up the Tree

I am talking about the "family tree". Recently an uncle of mine passed away and he passed on his project of the "Vicencio Family Tree" to his son Roget. It was my uncle Roger's brother, Leonardo (my godfather), who pioneered the work. In the mid 0o's he passed away and his son Mario and my uncle Roger took over. The papers I received traced back my first ancestors here in the Philippines as early as 1731. This was a connected tree and each link was traced and researched by my godfather Leonardo. This is what my tree is like;
My father is Jose M. Vicencio
the son of Julian Vicencio ,
who is the son of Ananias Vicencio,
who is the son of Sebastian Vicencio,
who is the son of Pedro Juan C. Vicencio,
who is the son of Roverto Julian Vicencio,
who is the son of Andres P. Vicencio,
who is the son of Juan (the Man) Vicencio (b 1731) from Tonsuya, Malabon.
So with that, it is a verifiable 10 generations to my daughter Clarissa.

My cousin Roget has taken on the project and hopefully, I would be able to give some assistance. It is very interesting as my relatives and the dynamics of the family is very colorful and wide ranging.
