Hello Joanne,
I am certain our last name is from Spain, but mine comes via the exploration route of the Phillipines. My father was born in Manila to a Briones family. According to information regarding the orgin of our great last name, I understand it originated in the northwestern part of Spain around the 1400's. I sure would like to know more about our ancestors, let me know if you have any information.

Thanks!

Mario,
