Pam, This is very helpful. I gave up on one of my other branches in the 1600's because I couldn't decipher the abbreviations. I am inspired to give it another try.
Thank you again, Erica From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pam Santos Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 2:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Need help with name abbreviations That has some but not all. It would be nice if there was a list for just surname abbreviations. Once you get back into 1600 or earlier abbreviations are common.

I thought I saved it, but I can't find it in my files and did not find it when I looked through the archives for this group. Can someone repost the article or link to it?
