Hi all, In some ways the same names is helpful to link to families. The Sao Jorge index makes it so easy to skim for "Silveira de Lemos" or variation thereof and "de Jesus" women or in my mom's line "Bernarda"......but, in other cases it's horribly confusing....ie: my great grand father from Candelaria took the surname Cardoso while his brother took Silva.......why? Who know's?
Enjoy the puzzle!

For example Nicolau do Rego's son will be João do Rego Nicolau. On Tue, 19 Mar 2019 at 21:58, 'Sam (Camas, WA)' via Azores Genealogy <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Rick. I get it now. All these same names are driving me nutso. Add to that the marrying of cousins and it sure does get crazy!

If the Bride was Maria and the MIL was Francisca Rosa. The bride might take the name Maria Rosa or Maria Francisca. I cannot recall if I have seen the bride change her baptismal name.

Talk about making our job of tracing our ancestors harder! Not to mention, talk about a “kiss up”! LOL! Mary, Yes, it sure does make it harder to know what is what. I’m trying to fill in the different branches of my tree and didn’t really count on tracking down all the marriages and obits, etc. Was hoping to do it just through births/baptisms. Oh well, I never really expected to finish my tree! Thanks guys, Sam (Mazatlán, MX) From: Richard Francis Pimentel<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 12:04 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Names (Santa Maria) Sam, Yes I have noticed that. I kind of think the bride sometimes took her mother in law’s name as a means to be accepted into the family better.

It just makes me worry that the priest has been “tippling” the vino… I know certain names were very common but; it seems to be more than that…. Just wondering… Sam (Mazatlán, MX) [https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-round-orange-animated-no-repeat-v1.gif]<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient&utm_term=link> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
