Thank you Cheri.
Philippe: > Thank you for all the information. Do you have a document that has > Barthomeu Pacheco using the Galhado surname?

All other records I have found for Antonio show his name > as Antonio Fernandes Pacheco. All records I have found for Bartholomeu > only show him as Bartholomeu Pacheco. I am especially interested in this because Antonio Fernandes Pacheco and his wife Iria de Azevedo are great grandparents to my 4G-grandfather Manuel Vaz Diniz (married to Catharina Ignacia) through their son João Vaz Pacheco. Antonio Fernandes Galhado and his wife Iria de Azevedo are great grandparents to my 4G-grandmother Catharina Ignacia (married to Manuel Vaz Diniz) through their son Bartholomeu Pacheco. My contention is that Antonio Frz Pacheco and Antonio Frz Galhado are the same person married to the same Iria de Azevedo, which would make Manuel Vaz Diniz and his wife Catharina Ignacia 2nd cousins. In their marriage the priest mentions a 3rd degree dispensation. Another point of confusion I faced was with Pedro Alves/Alvares Rebello because Alves and Alvares seemed to be used interchangeably. I did find a Portuguese Wikipedia entry that seems to explain that Alves originated as an abbreviation for Alvares. Today, I think Alves and Alvares are separate surnames, but I guess that wasn't always the case; they were the same name.
