What is the original spelling of my last name Baldemor in Austria?

I was told that the original spelling of my last name Baldemor is different %26amp; that it originates from Austria. My grandfather I was told was pure Austrian who married a Filipino woman. I don't know why he settled in the Philippines.

What is the original spelling of my last name Baldemor in Austria?
Would you believe that http://www.familysearch.org says this:


"Baldemor--Austria


Exact Spelling: Off


Matches: NO matches "





But, there are 36 listings from the Philippines, and spelled as BALDEMOR.


Ancestral File - 9


鈥?IGI/Asia - over 25


鈥?Pedigree Resource File - 1


鈥?U.S. Social Security Death Index - 1


They date from 1840 to these in 1990:





Juana Atongcol BALDEMOR - Ancestral File


Gender: F; Birth: Abt 1904 ; Death/Burial: Bef 1990 Binan, Laguna, Philippines





Lorenzo BALDEMOR - Ancestral File


Gender: M ; Birth: Abt 1878; Death/Burial: Bef 1990 Binan, Laguna, Philippines ; Juana's father.





I thought maybe you meant AUSTRALIAN instead of Austrian (since it is closer to the Philippines), but there are NO listings there either.





http://www.ancestry.com shows these names:


Dionisio Baldemor--b. abt 1905; lists birthplace as Pennsylvania on 1930 census but original shows "Philippine Islands" and "Race: Filipino". Residence in 1930: Pullman, Whitman, Washington





Name: Teodoro Baldemor


Birth: abt 1888 - Philippines


Residence: 1920 - Kan, Hawaii, Hawaii Territory





http://www.rootsweb.com has 15 listings in their World Connect database, and it seems to all be one family. Says there are 515 additional hits for BALDEMOR at Ancestry.com , and 186 at at Long Lost People.com





Is this you, by any chance, from http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.co... ??

Reply:Until 1755 or thereabouts spelling was variable so choose any way of spelling it you want.





To give you an example there are 44 variations of the name Dickson that I know about
Reply:Visit the Filipino Archives and pull his immigration papers. Then you'll know how HE spelled his name when he still lived in the "old country".
