There are a number of surnamed Vitorino, Victorino, Victorine in the Sacramento CA area, as my funeral-notice files show. Let me know if you'd like to see them. Lionel

It first appeared as the middle name of my great grandfather Francisco Victorino de Vasconcellos, born in Fazenda das Lages, Flores in 1798, son of Francisco Ignacio de Vasconcellos. He was the only one of 8 siblings to carry Victorino ( nowadays spelled Vitorino) as a middle name. Most of his descendants (male and female) carried it as a middle name including part of my generation. Back in the Azores it almost became an alcunha. My first cousin Father Francisco Vitorino Vasconcelos (now deceased) and former pastor of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao in Santa Cruz, Flores was familiarly known as "Padre Vitorino" by his parishiners. The family is sometimes refered to as "Os Vitorinos" back on Flores. Some of my first cousins back on Flores have Vitorino as a middle name. However, I don't know offhand of any of the next generation which have Vitorino as a middle name. And, as far as i know, it was never used as a surname.

The most interesting thing is how certain names are clustered in certain areas with Machado being the most frequent name on Sao Jorge in all the different areas on line to research. I love the mystery......

I went thru old info I had and found that, yes indeed, both Ritas are the same woman, but I'm not sure where the Victorina name came from, and (so far) that name only appears in Vencelaos death certificate. She is Rita Maria (de) Mendonca everywhere else. So, my hunt continues...I will keep all posted.

So it's possible they could be the same woman, especially given the first name Rita on both. On one of my a male relative's baptism record it lists pai incognito BUT on his son's baptism record it lists his paternal grandfather. That is how I found how who the father of the male relative with pai incognito was--somehow they were willing to admit it later on the grandsons record????? "E" McCain or Obama?
