Me, too. It makes it difficult sometimes...... I wish they didn't do that! In a message dated 3/16/2016 6:47:05 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, mar [email protected] writes:
Got it, Rosemarie and now it makes sense. Thanks.

We went over this with Personal Ancestry File (PAF) and they finally addressed the issue in LegacyFamily Tree. They should accept what we enter and not 'generalize' and change things as they see fit but I don't believe that is going to happen! They just went ahead a tacked on the husbands surname as a given, it is not the way I entered it into their program!

No, not all Azorean women assumed their husband's name. That didnt' happen until some time after the 1900's....time lines should be paid careful attention to. Women did not take on their husbands surname's on until recent times...around or after the 1900's. My own Grandmothers did not take on my Grandfather's surname on both sides. Slowly after that they were either given to carry on with their parents name or given an heavenly one. When the Franciscan's friars of the 3rd order tookover the islands they began to make women invisible by instilling in them that to be be holy they had too give themselves up and in order to do this they give up their individuality and name rights and become Mary and become Mary of the Angels etc. Most of the rich and spunky women were able and smart enough to carry on with their family names for they brought huge dowries along with them and they alone decided who amongst them was to inherit it. These programs use the terminology of "nee" born or maiden name which is correct for those who may have adopted their husbands name. Something very important to note also was that even in the 1950's and after that a woman who wanted to assume their husband's surname after marriage had to request it, register it and pay for it so to legalize it. And, this is noted in every record of birth.

I was told by a teacher of genealogy to enter my tree in all of the sites that have this available: MyHeritage, PastTimes, FamilySearch and Ancestry as they all have different search parameters and data bases to search (and they all have free access except Ancestry). I decided to start putting my tree into MyHeritage. Now, it's okay except that they list the females by their married name with the maiden name in parenthesis. This is bad for the Azores because most, as we know, do use a married name! This is okay in the US but not okay with our Portuguese names nor my Italian side! I've emailed them but I don't believe that it will make any difference, just wanted you to know this quirk in case you are planning on entering some of your names into these 'other' genealogy sites!
