Welcome Bienvenidos Asencio’s!
We are Aaron, Emily, Diego. Check out the Asencio’s Youtube channel to get to know a little about us. To all the other Asencio’s out there, I would like to thank you for visiting our site and sharing your stories. My great grandfather Antonio Asencio emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico. Antonio’s son, also named Antonio, had four sons: Antonio (Tony), Adrian, Edmond, Joseph, and Johnny and two daughters: Loretta and Doreen. Adrian is my father. To the best of my knowledge all of our relatives live in Southern California. Please feel free to post where your family originates from and anything else you would like to share.

Hello to all the Asencio’s here!!!
I’ve done a little research on our last name. It’s Originally from Spain, and we have segragated ourself around the glove, there are some in Italy, some in Puerto Rico, a large part in Dominican Republic, another portion in Florida, from what I see here, there are some in NY which it is a tipical migration point from the caribbean and south america.
I myself, migrated from DR. to Florida, my grand parents move to NJ from DR then came down to Florida, most of my uncles on my father side are here.
I have some relatives in PR, and my great grand dad migrated from PR to DR a long time ago.
By the way, GRATS ON THE NEWE ADDITION
HELLO EVERYONE I SEE THERE IS ALOT OF “ASENCIO’S ” MY GRANDFATHER WAS MIGUEL DEL CRISTO ASENCIO AND HI WAS BORN IN CUBA AND HE COMES FROM A BIG FAMILY NAME ASENCIO SO I THINK IT JUST A COMMON NAME FROM SPAIN WE ALL ARE JUST A HUGE BIG ASENCIO FAMILY
All Asencio’s Are related… we just have alot of outs in our blood.
they separated into diffirent places…but Asencio men tend to have really big whales…(lol) and they dont always keep to 1 woman usually 1-4 so this is how the name got so popular so fast.most of our woman also like to keep the last name in the family they dont change it to the fathers lastname,and asencio men and woman also tend to have more males then female…giving the name an even more greater fame. asencio’s have many strong traits aswell. the younger males like having very long hair, some keep it some cut it later on.asencio’s have pretty sharp vampire teeth. not meanin we are vampires lol. also they are very very very, athletic, they tend to do “Ok” in school,the key is for them the learn there language before they learn any other language. most asencio men are tall 5′7-6′6 our women also, 5′4-6′1 we also tend to be very dominant both male and female. our traits r also very dominant.and if u happen to fall inlove with another Asencio that no one in your family knows…its not incest it’s ok because there were so many outs in our blood that its ok. iit will just bring the name more fame and strengthin the traits~ Asencio’s come in forms of Very dark black,brown,tan,and white. most have brown and black hair,some are blonde. wether ur cuban mexican puerto rican italian,dominican
somewhere in south america or North america u are still that, but ur blood line originated in spain.
My father, Felix Antonio Asencio Cruz is from Lajas, Puerto Rico, and is son of Felix Juan “Guito” Asencio who lived in Christian Sector, Lajas, Puerto Rico in the 1940’s. My father told me our Asencio branch came from Venezuela and before that from Islas Canarias and Spain. Is good to hear from more Asencio’s. God Bless.
hello! are there any asencio’s from el salvador?? we reside in texas.
from what i understand my great grandfather was from spain, but his great grandfather was originally italian (asecio ends in”io”) and italian last names end in “i” and “o” and “io”.
This is just great……..I guess like all of you I felt that the only Asencio’s came from beautiful Puerto Rico. My grandfather was Julio Asencio and grandmother was Berta Rivera Asencio. My dad was also William F. Asencio and he has three brothers and a sister. We originated from Cabo Rojo, PR and migrated to PR’s capital Manhatten. My mom is Ana Asencio, and still lives in Manhatten. I recently added a gorgeous girl to our family, named Ava. I currently live in Atlanta, Ga. It is great to know that there is more of my blood out there.
well I am an Asencio i live in TX but most of the family is in philadelphia and jacksonville,fl so yea just wanted to point that out just in case we were related some how or not at all but would think you would like to know this information!
My most recent roots migrated from P.R. to NYC. My father was Rogelio who I’m told died in 1971 in PR. His father was Fernando and his mother was Isabel. His grandparents (my great grandparents) were Rafael Asencio (Lamolli) and Modesta Rivera. Im told our original roots go back to Italy with a long line of travel by ship from port to port, with goods for trading/selling and conquering of women . This might explain why our roots are so scattered from various countries. God Bless us all.
Isabel, I have in my chart: Rogelio Asencio [Rivera] who died from what I was told with no known children. Rogelio’s parents were Rafael Asencio a/k/a Rafael Lamoya (Lamolli) married to Modesta, my great grandparents also but he had a brother called Fernando. I also have a Rogelio Asencio [Rosario] known as Algeo, whose father is Rafael Asencio & mother is Cruz Rosario [Velez]. I also have in my chart an Isabel, daughter of Rosein Asencio [Rosario] who died and had 8 or 9 children. I don’t have the name of the person he married but these are the children names that I have.
1. Nilsa
2. Nancy
3. Isabel
4. William
5. Carmen
6. Gladys
7. Roberto

Hi! I’m also from Puerto Rico, my family lives in Lajas, bust my grandfather was from Cabo Rojo. The originals Asencio came from Spain, two brothers, one stayed on Cabo Rojo, the other one moved to Caguas, Puerto Rico, and from there comes all the other Asencios from Puerto Rico, so we are all related. Like somebody says beforre, we are a big family!!!
Hi I’m from the dominican republic, my great-grandfather migrated from P.R. to D.R do not know his name. it was either gregorio asencio or something else. most of us lived in san cristobal. but my family gets around any where from Venezuela, Mexico, all over the U.S. and Brazil. some one should probably ask my grandmother before she dies what was her husband’s dad’s name and all his relatives and where they come from. If we all asks our grand parentsor parents this we will come to a specific country a very long time ago.

Anyone that has any more information please let me know.

My name is charlie Asencio, I was born in NY. My family comes from Cabo Rojo,
Puerto Rico. There’s a great story that we started in spain and then went to Argentina
I was told that the Asencio’s name came from Spain by my father who live til he
was 83 yrs old and Great Grandfather Juan Diego Asencio Seda who live past 100.
He Had 13 wives and 43 children. My Father was one of his sons. We have alot of Asencio’s throughout the world and are connected one way or another. I live in Florida and they are several Asencio’s here. Edwin Asencio Has the same information that I have.
My Fathers Name was Restituto Asencio Born on May 17, 1911-1996 in Cabo Rojo PR.
I am an Asencio by marriage. My husband’s family is from Lajas, PR. I always wondered how many Asencio’s are out there. We now live in Florida. It’s great to know that the name lives on in many different areas of the world.
Wow!!! i was not aware there were so many asencio’s. my gdpa was juan asencio i think dejesus and he lived in luquillo puerto rico when he died and i do not know where he came from or if he had brothers or sisters or who his mom or dad was. it makes me sad to think about it. all i know is that he was warm and gentle and loving and he died young and i think he worked for the elec com in luquillo about the years 1948-49 roughly. his wife died when she gave birth to the last child. my mother is ana maria asencio carrion and my father cristobal robledo carrion both from puerto rico. they were first cousins. if any one out there know anything feel free to let me know!!
Hi there, Asencios. My mother’s maiden name was Alina Margarita Velez de Asencio. She was born in Puerto Rico and resided in San German where I was born on 1/6/50. She had a very large extended family as did my father. My father (Luis Lugo Figueroa) and mother came to New York City in 1952. I recently watched a Sweat Equity show on the DIY network and they featured a Paul Asencio and family. He’s a VP with the NY Mets. There are many Asencios out there, of course. The Lugos are originally from the province of Lugo in Spain. I assume the Asencios also originally came from Spain but I can’t vouch for that since I have not done the research. Anyway, good luck to all the Asencios out there.
hey i was google’n my name nd i came across this site;;

Well I noticed that there are great deal of you that come from PR…just like myself…look me on Facebook…i would to find out more about our last name…like i said before…I am in FL, USA
Felix Alvarez – son of Rosario Asencio and Felix Alvarez – grandson of David (Policarpio) Asencio and Cruz Velez from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. I live in Orange County, California. My aunts on the Asencio side are Gladys, Elsa, Nereida, Lila, Monse, Sonia, Cartmen, Felicita, Antonieta, Migdalia and my mom Rosario. My uncles Santiago, Juan, Castulo, Jorge. Big families back then. My great grandfather was Martin Asencio, also from Cabo Rojo, PR. and he had a few ladies and kids!!!
I see a lot of family and potential family here. My sister and I have been doing research which we take up maybe once a year. It is time consuming and although we formed a list for genealogy purposes, we have of bits and pieces of information which we have yet to decipher due to either time constraints or lack of documentation and yet to meet Asencios whether in person or by e-mail.
According to the comments above:
Felix Alvarez Asencio and I are related, Charles Asencio most probably related, ketty maybe, Reinaldo Ramon Lugo Asencio maybe if there is a relation to Cruz Rosario [Velez] or another person on my list, ketty maybe, Charles Asencio likely, Steve likely, Chrisopher Asencio maybe, Ramon L. Asencio Nieves maybe, Edwin Asencio likely I heard about a fight and I think it was land ownership, Debbie Asencio I’d like to know about the 7 brothers, miguelito asencio maybe, Maritza Asencio likely, Isabel Asencio we are related, WILLIAM ASENCIO, probably, Joel Asencio maybe, Jorge Asecio maybe, Frances L. Asencio Guido probably, Fernando J. Asencio likely, Fernando Asencio likely, Joaquin Asencio of Miami, likely, Asencio from Argentina maybe, sonia asencio likely, Rosi & Bernado maybe.
More past history would be needed on some of the Asencios of those who posted here. You see, the italian’s son Rafael (felo) Asencio had a legal marriage with Modesta del Carmen Rivera Pagan de Asencio and they had children. Rafael also had children with: Dolores Asencio Rivera (there is a unknown family relation with t the Dolores Asencio in common law marriage of the italian), Cruz Rosario [Velez] and Cecilia Mangual [Soler].
All that posted as history from Cabo Rojo, we are all related in some way (whether through a marriage or direct descendant). My family is directly descendant from the italian Lamolli (born 1885 in NE Italy, where his parents were from) and he had a common law marriage with Dolores Asencio born in Cabo Rojo and her name is actually “MARIA de los DOLORES ASENCIO LOPEZ” b. March 19, 1839. She had known parents, aunts, uncles, etc. and their son Rafael (Felo) Asencio in marraige with Modesta. One of the headaches is actually having the time to research and get a hold of documentation. Another is actually getting the documentation and putting relationship together. For instance:
DOLORES ASENCIO LOPEZ father, Antonio Asencio (married to Da. Maria Isabel Asencio (don’t have 2nd surname yet), have a family relationship with Ramon Asencio [Becerra?]. Ramon Asencio [Becerra?] has children: Jose Estanislao Asencio Velasquez, (I mention this child’s full name because he is actually in a genealogy book), Luisa, Diego, Maria Felicia & Vicente. So Dolores father & mother baptizes Diego’s son, Juan Franciso on April 27, 1839 or 1840 I have to look at the document again. (Libro de Bautismos CR 15, folio 57 vuelto) Juan Francisco’s parents are listed as D. Diego Asencio y Da. Maria Ramona Montalvo). So I am thinking Antonio & Ramon might be brothers. We would need to obtain baptism documents of Diego and his father Ramon if they exist in Cabo Rojo or other documentation be it a cemetary, etc.
We have other documentation but need more research & documentation. I have stories regarding Dolores Asencio that I have yet to decipher but one of them is an association with a member(s) migrating from Venezuela to Cabo Rojo. If you go way back in time, families were large and some of the male asencios had children with other females that make connections more difficult and doing research and obtaining records are key to put distant cousins together. I have bits and pieces of information of the Asencio family (a brother I think of this lineage) migrating from PR to DR. Not sure about Cuba. We do have relatives from the tree in California originating from Cabo Rojo and specifically the italian who had 3 children in Cabo which are Fernando, Rosa & Francisco. I am from the Francisco line.
I believe that those who posted as being from New York, in particular Manhattan, we probably already know each other vaguely as that is where I was born. I only found out about the Asencio name connection in my family back in the 1990s when I took an interest in genealogy.
We have yet to make the connection with Asencio Duran but if you have the Asencio name and from Cabo Rojo, betcha there is a relationship !
According to the 1910 census, living in the same household with Dolores Asencio & Pasquale Lamolli (a/k/a pascual lamoya) in Cabo Rojo, PR. are: Luis Luciano Asencio Lopez and Juan Asencio Lopez, age 51, father from Venezuela, mother from P.R., Pensionista and Josefa L. Asencio Nazario, age 34 or 54?, mother & father from PR, Pensionista.
I am posting a new e-mail address for those who wish to be in touch for this purpose is asenciolink1@hotmail.com. I or my sister can check maybe once a month.
I hope you have had fun with this information and anyone willing to do research and obtain documents would be great !! Don’t forget to ask questions of those that are old and very old !
To the owner of this website, a special thanks for your kindness in letting Asencios post. BTW, what a beautiful child ! God bless.
Thank you and we are really excited that Asencio’s (even if we are not related) are getting in touch with each other on our site! Thanks for posting your genealogy in such detail – a great help to other Asencio’s out there. Good luck in your search!

Hello all you Asencio’s!!! Wow, I did’t know there were so many! Congrats to Aaron, Emily, Diego, Elvis, Capone and Diablo, for creating a great site.
I am from Brooklyn, New Jork and my family is from Cabo Rojo, PR (I noticed a bunch from there). My Mom is Blanca Asencio Padilla and My Dad is Jorge Hilario (almost was my name…yikes!) Asencio, son of David and Crucita Asencio Pagan, he grew up in LA Tuna too. I have two sisters and four brothers. I met a kid while I was working at the Navy boot camp that was from the same area (Small World). I am now living in Norfolk Virginia (when I’m not living on a ship or in the desert, Hooyah Navy!!!). My parents are back in Cabo Rojo, PR.
Hello Melvin, yep, Llanos Tuna. I don’t have you in my genealogy but you are most likely related.
It’s easy to make a mistake when in a hurry. Upon looking again at my information, I said I am from the Fransico line (oops) it is from Rafael (felo) Asencio and the reason for my re-post.
All interested Asencios in adding to my chart or yours: If you can identify your ancestors with Dolores Asencio Lopez and Pasquale Lamolli’s children: Rafael or Francsico (Pancho) or Rosa Asencio and their children, etc., that would be the easiest way to trace generations and relationship. You can email me if you wish…kind of funny posting on another family’s website !
If anyone out there is a computer wiz, it would be fun to put up an Asencio website from Llanos Tuna, Cabo Rojo and have people interact with their info in an unofficial family tree.
Good luck to you Melvin and all Asencios!
Hi Myrna and Cabo Rojo/Llanos Tuna Asencio’s,
I can create a page on asencio.net for Cabo Rojo/Llanos Tuna Asencio’s. We can organize the great information we already have in these posts. Of course everyone is welcome to continue posting on this page but I think we have enough critical mass here to create a new Asencio page. Might start a trend here!
Aaron Asencio
Melvin,
You are my cousin. Your dad Jorge is my mother’s brother. Do you have a brother who lives in Oceanside, California?
Felix
Felix, I received your email and I responded. I set up the email as I posted above, however, when I checked email again, your email and my response was no longer there. That was weird. I also noticed that on occasion, hotmail seems to want to verify that I can send email. If it happens again, I will open a different email account not using hotmail and post it. I hope you got my response. Myrna
Primo!!! Felix, my brother Aldo (not Asencio) was a Jarhead in oceanside but he’s back in NY, whats your mom’s name? I have some family in Phoenix too.
Felix Thank Your brother for serving.
I too am a former Marine. Serve In Viet Nam Twice.
