    1. Jorge,

      Thanks for visiting the OnGenealogy directory. You can use the links at this page to find the City Diretories and then search within the city directories for the residents you are seeking. Here’s a page where a Herminiglido Hieras appears: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012106103&seq=641&q1=hieras&start=1

      Here’s a link showing search results in the left hand column for the Carballo surname: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012996479&seq=31&q1=carballo

      The Carballo name also occurs in these directories: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015027066524&q1=carballo&start=1
      https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015012105584&q1=carballo&start=1
      but they are not available online. Here is a link to institutions that have Manila City directories onsite (not online): https://www.worldcat.org/title/30857683

      You can also use the links on this site to search free record collections for the Philippines. You’ll need to create an account, but everything at FamilySearch is free to use–there’s never any fee.

      Best with your research,
