Hi Jesse:
I also have *Françisco da Costa Castelo* born 1738 October 8; & *Joanna
Andrade* b. 1739 Feb. 7, in my family tree, twice.
Their children (what I found so far):
* José 1762*
Ignacio 1965
Ign *Francisco 1768 *
*F *Ignacia 1770
MaM Manuel 1773
Ma Manuel 1775
Joao 1780
I believe *Francisco da Costa Castelo*'s father is *Dioniz Teixeira*married to
*Maria
da Costa*.
*Joanna da Conceiçao Andrada*'s parents are: *Martinho de Andrade* and
*Barbara
de Sousa*.
Sometimes, a child is given their mother's maiden surname.
My own grandmother has CASTELO as her maiden surname. The further back I
go, I seem to loose the name CASTELO in the registrations.
I have yet to find the original ancestor with the surname CASTELO.
My father, talked about my grandmother's family as the family CASTELOs.
The name CASTELO, I believe orginated in northern Europe, ie: northern
Spain, France. CASTELO, as well is known as, CASTLE.
Sincerely,
Maria. : )
