Juan and Manuel Zablan arrived on Guam as part of the Spanish Armada in the early 1800s, circa 1825. The Zablan brothers are of French - Malaysian descent and served as Army officers. Both Married Chamorro women of Spanish descent. The Zablan surname was later changed to Sablan by the Spanish government as the Spanish alphabet did not have the letter "Z". Descendants of Juan and Manuel thrived and, to this day, continue to contribute to the communities they are in worldwide especially here in Guam, Northern Marianas, Hawaii and other states.
We will be celebrating the Sablan Family on July 25, 2020 with our Family Reunion. We encourage all descendants to participate in the several activities we have planned. We hope to see you there!
