My mother-in-law is a Parreira, but she has mentioned that it is common for families to have nicknames. For example, someone by the name of Antonio Parreira may be known as a 'Galante' yet the surname 'Galante' is no where to be found. Other nicknames I've come across are what appear to be 'rrabola' and 'Ilhars'. Does anyone have an explanation for this? -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores .
