RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Abbreviation-da Roxa

Hi Diane,

Roxa is an often-used alternate spelling.

Yea, Roxa could trick someone to think Rosa. Just another reason to do your own research.

Hi,

 

Is “da Roxa” an abbreviation for da Rocha or for something else? I have a marriage record from CCA that uses that name, however in the NEPS data for the same marriage, the name is shown as “da Rosa.” It is very clear in the CCA record that it is an “x” and not an “s.”
