The original author was George Pacheco. You can see his email on the original thread. He is still a member of this list. Rose comes from Rosa or da Rosa. The old spelling was Roza and da Roza. Mary is actually Maria. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Genealogy -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
