Hi,

 

Does anyone know the meaning of the use of quotation marks on surnames in
the NEPS site. Examples are:

 

Manuel Jose "foliao"

Antonio "o cabaco"

Jose "cambado"

 

The English translations are "merrymaker", "the gourd" and "unstable." 

 

I have not located the original records yet, but wanted to see if anyone
knows what this means first.

 

Thanks

 

Diane George
