Para: "Azores Genealogy" <[email protected]> Data: Segunda-feira, 12 de Outubro de 2009, 18:03 Hi group. I have an ancestor, Manuel Joaquin Medeiros Quarenta. As far as I know, Quarenta means "forty." Are there other surnames that are numbers or is this a special exception? If anyone is interested, Manuel was born in 1876 in Atalhada SM and died in 1950 in Fall River. He had twelve or thirteen children and was married to Filomena da Gloria Rego (1877-1946). Just this morning, I looked up his obituary in the diario de noticias and Filomena's surname was listed as Rego Mendonca, so I will have to investigate that. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Veja quais são os assuntos do momento no Yahoo! +Buscados http://br.maisbuscados.yahoo.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
