                      Filipinos Gone 2 California

This is a genealogical research of the Pilipinos migration to California. This website honors the struggles & achievements of all who immigrated to California from the Philippines.

This website will always be a work in progress
 
 
The first entry is my research about the Pilipinos in the the Unclaimed California Property (UCP), a website of the California State Controller's Office
 
 
 

      When I found $4,404.00 unclaimed property of my co-worker’s grandparents, who died several years ago, the family decided to waive their claim in favor of an elderly aunt who could very well benefit from the unexpected financial windfall. I was touched by such generosity that I began my research on the unclaimed property website using my own database of Pilipino names.

 

      Hundreds of individuals with Philippine connections are listed in the UCP website. Comparing some of these names with the Social Security Death Index, I found out that many of these individuals had died years ago. However, the existence of heirs is a good possibility after my research in the websites like the peoplefinders, whitepages, clusty.com, etc. Many had also provided Philippine addresses which may have included some non-Pilipino residents in the Philippines. Individuals related to them thru marriage are also included in my website.

 

       The Master Lists of Individuals and Business totaled to $4,184,374.00

 

                             Criteria used in creating the Master Lists:

 

  • $1,000.00 or more of unclaimed property in Master Lists #1a & #1b (Philippine & U.S. address).
  • $100.00 to $900.00 of unclaimed property in Master Lists #2a & #2b (Philippine address only).
  • Diversity in ethnicity-Malay/Spanish/American/Chinese/Muslim.
  • Diversity in geographical locations-Metro Manila, northern, southern Philippines, etc.
  • Diversity in occupations-military, political, farming/business, medical, legal, etc. 

 

 

        Additionally, I created a Who’s Who List in the Pilipino community whose names appeared in the UCP website. Please note that some of these individuals have unclaimed property less than $100.00 & their names do not appear in Master Lists #1 and #2.
