In 1849, Governor-General Narciso Clavería issued a decree that would have a lasting impact on Filipino identity: the Clavería Decree. This decree required Filipino families’ systematic adoption of Spanish surnames, fundamentally changing how names were recorded and inherited. Understanding the Clavería Decree is crucial for genealogists to trace Filipino ancestry within the Philippines and among those who have migrated worldwide.
