I am going through birth records of my gr grandfather Joseph da Rosa Furtado's siblings. There are various ways that they list the father and grandfather. The one I am most curious about is this one which says .... Anna, filha de Joze da Roza Furtado, filho d’Antonio da Roza, digo, d’Antonio Pereira d’Avilla e de Roza da Conceição,.....
1. My question is when they say Joze da Roza Furtado, filho d’Antonio da Roza, digo, d’Antonio Pereira d’Avilla --- does this mean that antonio da Roza also goes by antonio Pereira d'Avilla? or does it mean something else? 2. My other bigger family history question re: the above is how the da Roza name comes into the family, because it does not show in the earlier generations so I am thinking Antonio Pereira de Avila -- who they say 'digo..Antonio da Roza - may bewhere this happens... does this seem correct? 3.. Another lesser mystery but interesting is is how the father and grandfather are listed for each of the children - it varies from child to child - some names remain, some are dropped... the grandfather is the same in all the rest of the children but in some cases below the father Joze da Rosa - they include Furtado de Mendonca or not and 1 case call him Jose Pereira da Rosa, sometimes Just Jose da Rosa or Jose da roda Furtado.... Ana - see above Maria: dau of Jose da Rosa Furtado de Mendonca son of Antonio Pereira de Avila Roza: dau of Jose da Rosa Furtado son of Antonio Pereira de Avila Victorina: dau of Jose da Rosa Furtado de Mendonca son of Antonio Pereira de Avila Emilia: dau of Jose Pereira da Rosa son of Antonio Pereira de Avila Miquilina: dau of Jose da Rosa Furtado son of Antonio Pereira de Avila Joze: son of Jose da Rosa son of Antonio Pereira de Avila 4. Is there a specific naming tradition such as the son/daughter first name then whose name goes first, the father's or mother's...
