*Caroline and Celeste,* *Celeste's last post just hit me like a ton of bricks *************** Francisco INACIO da Sousa ****************** INACIO in Portuguese records often becomes ENOS when it gets to the US. I don't think I've ever seen ENOS in a Portuguese record. I suppose it could happen in a case when an Inacio gets changed to Enos when a person first immigrates to the US but if that person or a descendant goes back to Portugal, it DOES NOT get changed back to Inacio! Try Looking for a Manual INACIO Gome when you search Portuguese records.* *John Vasconcelos*
