- About half of Tamuning's population (2,049) were non-Chamorro, including 668 statesiders, 377 Hawaiians, 498 Filipinos, 506 others.
- Umatac, on the other hand, had just one non-Chamorro living there; a Filipino. I wouldn't be surprised if that was Tomasa Sinoben's husband. I used to be pastor of Humåtak.
- Yigo had just 950 residents and was second to the last in population (Umatac was last with 653 villagers). My how things have changed.
- You see why Sinajaña, to this day, has a Vice Mayor, even though it isn't one of the more populated villages today. But at one time it was #1 for many years.
