Hi, all (again)!
Karlushko gave me names of books to check out, some of which I already
have, and others I will look into. But I still would like answers to the
following questions:
1.) According to Geneall and Azores Genealogy, Abraham Seriqui's mother was
FORTUNATA (no surname given). I did read somewhere that the first son had the
father's surname and the second son had the mother's surname. Would that mean
her surname was SERIQUI? When Abraham died in Boston, his mother's name was
listed as ESTHER MARKS. Which would be correct?
2.) Abraham had a daughter, MIRIAM (MARIANA) BENSABAT (her mother's surname),
BENSAUDE, BENARUS (her father's surname). Two questions: Which first name did
she go by. Miriam or the Jewish version, Mariana? She has BENSAUDE in her
name, but the Bensaudes say we're not related. Why would that be in her name,
when it's not in her siblings' names? This name was found in Geneall and
Azores Genealogy.
3.) Another ancestor (in Geneall and Ancestry) married JOAQUIM AFLALO (ISAAC
OHAMA). Why the two very different names? Which is really "my" ancestor?
(Which tree should I be looking for?)
Thanking you in advance for any information.
