When using the Minho site, you must be really careful, because there are so many errors and mistakes in judgement. But I must say the ones done personally by Norberta Amorim are the best and she did the one for Sao Mateus and Sao Joao and also wrote the book on it. They will combine names when they see differences, such as a mother being Maria Josefa one time and Maria de Jesus another time, they combine as Maria Josefa de Jesus, even though she might never once been listed as that. I wrote before that the way I handle that is to write her name as "Maria Josefa ou Maria de Jesus" in my program. About Surra, I've never heard of it, but it's obviously an alcunha (nickname). I haven't bothered to look up the meaning. Apparently they have seen that name listed one time, maybe at death, and if so, that's a nice piece of trivia about this person.

The problem I have is that I can’t figure out how the database entry for “Surra” was derived nor can I find any indication that “Surra” is a Portuguese surname. There are other mysteries revolving around the database entries, but those are for another day. I am hoping that someone can read and translate the two records I found and offer any insights on the “Surra” name. The file names indicate the page number and database of the image on the CCA site. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
