The Portuguese equivalent of DuPont is "da Ponte." I have to agree with John, in that, if a person of Portuguese extraction is using the surname "Pine" then he is most likely to have anglicized the surname "Pinheiro," which literally translates to "Pine." Beyond that, both Cheri and I share a few Portuguese ancestors who had "Pine" added to their traditional "Mello" surname. Their numbers however, would few and far between.

When I grew up in Fresno there was a local undertaker Art Pine who did a lot of business with the Portuguese community and his real last name was "Pinheiro" John Vasconcelos On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 1:22 PM, Elizabeth Migliori <[email protected]> wrote: Hello All, So I've been searching for my daughters grandmother under the wrong name. But I need help now with the correct name. I was just told that it was not Pine but Pont. That's all I was told. They had no idea how to spell it. So would it be Pont or Ponte? Any suggestions at all.
