Now my head is REALLY spinning!! but I jest of course....If it were easy I would get bored and soon quit doing the research. In answer to your question Nancy, Yes I have researched the de Costa, da Costa,(both of which I have in my line) but wow there is so MANY Manuel de Costa. And the odd thing about your question of my spelling GALANTE or could it be Goularte, for a long time I thought it was Goularte. But then My ggg granmother's mother's name listed on california death index was Galante. then ms. Shirley provided me with info that seems to verify his name to be Galante.

Nancy Jean From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Surname change suggestions??? Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 00:16:31 -0500 Hello all. I hope everyone had a great, lovefilled Easter. I am requesting some fresh ideas on a possible surname change of one of my ancestors. My ggg grandmother's brother, Manuel da Costa Galante, from Lagoa, N.S. immigrated with his new bride to Hawaii in 1884 upon the ALBERGELDIE(think thats right). His passport along with information from a book Ms. Shirley has stated his whole name as that which is above. Now my problem is I have searched all the subsequent census records up to 1910 in Hawaii, and I can not find any one with that last name, Galante. Does anyone have any ideas of an alternative spelling of the last name, or maybe if it would be usual for one to drop the last name and just go by "da Costa"?? Any suggestions and / or ideas would be appreciated. Lisa L -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
