Cheri & Rosemarie— thanks for the definition of “Calvo” although it would seem that the Medeiros Grota men in later centuries seemed to retain a full head of hair far into retirement. :) I will say that I have a LOT of Antonio de Medeiros men on my tree and keeping them straight does drive me a bit mad.
Margaret — It didn’t dawn on me that the “Dom” was also a clergy designation. I work of the church and am very familiar with the various ranks and titles. D’oh! As I continue backwards in time I guess I’ll be looking for both the de Medeiros and Calvo names. I just wish the handwriting was better on the eyes… Thanks!

Antonio Calvo could be picking it up from one of the grandparents, you may find continuity as you go back further on this line. Early settlers, among others, named by G. Frutuoso and RR are Bernardim Calvo e Joao Calvo sons of Afonso Anes, da Maia. Rodrigo Rodrigues Cap. 50 section 1.
