The Records Behind the Identification
Petrona Quimpo — “The Daughter Remembered as Tonang”
The primary and supporting documents on which this case study rests — parish christenings, a civil death report, notarial deeds, and a civil death certificate. Each is presented with its transcribed identification and source citation. The methodology page explains how they fit together into the triangulation argument.
Parentage & Identity
The records that fix Petrona Quimpo’s parents and tie her to the Morales children. The 1896 baptism of Josefa Morales supplies the maternal grandparents — Ponciano Quimpo and Mena Ferrer — that anchor the entire identification.
