Second cousin Ilios found!

For some reason, I bumped into a long-looked for cousin on Facebook who I found in somebody else’s list of friends.  She is Belyn Domingo Wilson, daughter of Nang Belen Ilio Domingo, who is a cousin of our side of the Ilio family.  The sisters Belen and Reginia (I guess of daughters of Julia Ilio?) have been based in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California since the 1950s.

Belyn sent me this picture above through Facebook and wrote:

“Bottom to Top: CJ Ilio, Christy Ilio, children of Cris Ilio, Marcus Frederick (Ilio-Domingo) Wilson, grandson of Nay Belen (Ilio) & Tay Fred Domingo, Darren Andre (Ilio-Gomez) Aliga, grandson of Nay Rening (Ilio) Gomez.
These are the new generation of Malinao Aklanons in California.”

It is sooo great to keep in touch with long-looked for cousins, who are now connected!
