Oops! I just did a search on the complete text of *Mau Tempo do Canal* and discovered TWO spellings for the name of the same person! Nemésio also shows it as "Lauriano" when listing some townspeople of Santo Amaro but "Laureano" when quoting the sister Maria Margarida when she speaks with her brother Laureano. No wonder there's so much confusion about the spelling of names!Yikes!
This second spelling (which we put in azulejos on the façade of the restored building) is the one confirmed for us by the owners of the Escola Regional de Artesenato de Santo Amaro, twins Alzira and Conceição Neves, both of whom knew Laureano when they were children and young adults. (Laureano died in the early 1960s.) Oh well, who ever said genealogical research would be simple?
