Aloha Mike, I'm not sure if there are any specific traditions. Both sides of my family were from the Azores and now I have two rosary beads from each side. My paternal grandmother told me that she was leaving her rosary in my care. It was handed down to the first born girl in the family and since my father didn't have any sisters, I was fortunate enough to receive them after my grandmother passed. It has been handed down for at least five generations from the stories I've been told. It's nice to know I hold a part of each of them. So I'll hand them down to my daughter, someday.
