Yes I have seen this before. My mother's father was Joe de Mello. About 1915 he added Pine. I don't know where the Pine came from. One story is that there was a Pine Tree in the yard, and that is why he added Pine.
Shirley in CA ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda McLellan To: Azores Genealogy Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2016 9:51 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Looking for any Fragoso descendants from Sao Miguel I need help with the Fragoso last name and I was wondering if any of you have ever seen this before, where a last name just seems to appear out of nowhere. so, I have discovered something interesting. In all of the records that I have discovered so far on my father's side the last name is always d'Andrade. There are only 2 entries where Fragoso is referenced. 1. Manuel's baptismal certificate has his father's last name as d'Andrade (no mention of Fragoso) but on Maria Jose Cabral's (his wife) baptismal record, there is a margin notation that she married Manuel d'Andrade Fragoso (now they added Fragoso to his last name). 2. The other record which shows Fragoso is on a birth record of Maria who's father's name is Manuel D'Andrade Fragoso (not the same manuel as above but tracing the lineage he was brother of the Manuel above's father). Does that make sense? Anyhow, this is a bit of a mystery. How and why did the Fragoso name just appear? Here is the record for Manuel D'Andrade http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1895-1899/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1895-1899_item1/P239.html Here is the record for Maria Jose (margin notation where Fragoso is now added the Manuel d'Andrade's last name) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1900-1905/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1900-1905_item1/P269.html Here is the record for Maria who's father is Manuel dAndrade Fragoso brother to Jacintho d'Andrade father of the Manuel above http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1900-1905/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-B-1900-1905_item1/P256.html On Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 1:10:03 PM UTC-5, Linda McLellan wrote: Hello All, My name is Linda and my father immigrated from Rabo de Peixe, Azores to Canada.
