Hi Doreen,
In case you or your friend didn't know, the last name of this family was originally JOAQUIM with M on the end.
If your friend is spelling it in the Spanish form JOAQUIN, then that's something they changed after emigrating.
Pronunciation of this name might also be wrong, but that's hard to describe without hearing it.
The J has a ZH sound like J in the French "bon jour."
And the M on the end sounds almost like "ing."
This name always gets butchered by Americans and sounds similar to Joe King. Indeed, many named Joaquim became King in the USA.
Even my wife and two oldest children can't quite get the hang of this name yet, which I gave to my youngest son as his second name!

I'm helping a friend start her family tree. I have very little to go on and now there seems to be a large gap in the records for Lajes. I'm looking for Mary Jo Joaquin born on 9/2/1906 in Lajes, Pico. She is the child of Jose Machado Joaquin and Maria Rosa. Jose Machado Joaquin was born 11/1861 in Lajes and his wife was born 2/1868 in the same village. Jose is the child of Antonio Machado Joaquin and Catarina L. Macedo both born in Lajes on unknown dates. Maria Rosa was the daughter of Antonio da Rosa and Catarina da Rosa(?), both born in Lajes on unknown dates. Maybe I'm reading the records wrong but there are not very many pages listed on the CCA site for this village at this time period. Can anyone help me get back on track? Does any one know about the Joaquin family in Lajes? Thanks Doreen Caetano Jungk
