Chronological History of the Olarte-Olevera Bloodline

Generation II: The Seven Siblings (Late 19th Century)

Don Roman Olarte and Doña Eugenia Olevera established a historic dynasty through their seven children. The marriage alliances of these siblings offer a critical historical insight: most of the spouses carried indigenous, native surnames (such as Angcan, Quipte, Apalisok, Tac-an, Abuton, and Napiñas).

Because these distinct indigenous families were already prominent, titled elites (Principalia) intermarrying with the Olartes, it solidifies the fact that the Olarte-Olevera clan predated the 1849 Clavería Decree. They did not receive their European names from a random colonial list in 1849; their European origins were already firmly established in the region.

1. Don Matias Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1841–1842): The firstborn son and eldest sibling, entering the world at the dawn of the family’s prominence in Misamis. He married Matea (surname unknown).

2. Don Vicente Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1842 – 1844): Served as one of the highly influential Gobernadorcillos (Municipal Governors) of Jimenez within the twilight years (1859-1894)  of the Spanish colonial administration in the Philippines, solidifying the family's entry into supreme civic governance. He married Isabel Angcan.

3. Doña Cipriana Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1845 – 1847): Born into the expanding social status of the Jimenez Principalia. She married Antonio Quipte.

4. Don Inocentes Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1847 – 1849): Expanded the family's extensive agricultural and administrative estates. He married Macaria Apalisok.

5. Doña Teodora Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1849 – 1851): Married Don Gregorio Tac-an who was also the Gobernadorcillo of Jimenez within the twilight years (1859-1894) of the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, uniting the Olartes with the wealthy, land-rich Tac-an dynasty of Misamis.

6. Doña Enesia Olevera Olarte (Born 1852): Married Don Ignacio Abuton , bridging two of the most powerful, land-owning regional clans in Oroquieta and Jimenez.

7. Don Lucresio Olevera Olarte (Born c. 1854-1856): The youngest sibling of the family and the primary ancestor of the Olartes in Tudela. From the Spanish Maura Law inception circa 1894–1895 into the early American era, he served as a Municipal Councilor of Jimenez, finishing his term on September 4, 1908. He married Susana Napiñas, possibly a native descendant from Palilan or Lubungan (now Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte) and together they pioneered the family’s southward migration to establish and build up the settlement of Tudela. Through their legacy, Tudela grew into a major family hub, home to both Lucresio’s direct bloodline and several branches descended from Don Inocentes Olarte.
