Hi Mary, This afternoon I noticed "Dona" (I'm looking in Topo Baptisms) 1870's, 1873 has quite a few "dona", with the name Silveira de Bettencourt, with the Azevedo name and interesting to me one with the Bettencourt e Castro name....the Castro was from Pico....doesn't say where...could he be one of my Castros?...who knows!
I don't remember seeing any men with the "Dom".....ever. Are the names.....Ennes, Enos and Ignacio all the same name only different spellings? The mystery continues...each one solved leads to 2 more!

I just looked up my Sao Jorge Bettencourt connection. My GGGGG grandmother was Dona Teodora Luisa (b 1756) but her husband, Inácio Jose de Bettencourt was not listed as "Dom" on this record. Their daughter was Dona Inácia Rosa and her daughter was Dona Maria but by the time we get to her daughter, my GG grandmother Maria Rosa (b 1856), we've lost the last name and the "Dona". I do not find any men in my line who use "Dom". Thanks, Nancy, for bringing up the question. I had not looked back to see exactly who in my line might be "Dona".
