Hi; When my great grandfather died in 1909, leaving my ggrandmother with 4 children, she remarried within a year. The children, including my grandmother, took their stepfather's last name as theirs. They even put the wrong name on their marriage certificates until someone made them cross it out and write in their birth last name. My guess is that someone knew the family story or required their baptismal certificate. So, it's not unusual for kids to change their names with stepparents. It happened to my grandfather too, when his mother divorced and remarried.
As for the Social Security application, you can' get SS if you're not a citizen can you? Or if you're not "legally" married to the man whom you state is your husband. Maybe, she needed the money to survive and "fibbed". So, I wouldn't be surprised about name inconsistency's if their are deaths of the father or the mother. P.S.: I live in San Luis Obispo, if I can help, let me know.l Ronnie ----- Original Message ----- From: nancy jean baptiste To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 9:53 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Questions (Names in Azores?)

To: [email protected] Hi, From what my Grandmother Marie Holmes wrote it looks like Frank Holmes was her Father and he was killed by someone or something and that is when Isabel married Primo? Now I do not know if who you found is the right people. I have searched the immigration records under the names you gave me for the U.S. and could not find them. Elaine helped me and found them in the census records and WWI and WWII draft registrations for the children. All the death cert. for the boys (Frank, Joseph & John Holmes) stated that Frank Holmes was their father and Isabel Enos or Enucina was their Mother. They also had that they were born in Calif. Even my Grandmother Marie Holmes put on her Social Security papers she was born in Oso Flaco, California. I know that is not true as she told me she was born in Portugal. So I am not sure of anything now? I am trying to find some of the childrens marriage certificates to see what they say. Thank you for all your help. I really do appreciate any advice. Let me know what you think? Vivian --- On Sat, 10/25/08, Marcio Borba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Marcio Borba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Questions (Names in Azores?) To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, October 25, 2008, 6:03 PM Looking at the Rol de Confessados (Census), they are still living there in 1884. In the 1890 they are not there. Isabel's mother died March 1889. I believe Isabel emmigrated right after that ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Novos endereços, o Yahoo! que você conhece.
