Goanet next meets in Goa: January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). Goanet founder Herman Carneiro will be there. See you there! ------------------------------
Marsh, I am a nut for Goan surnames. My hobby is placing them village-wise. Some of the names bellow you have not spelt as is done in Goa. Please don't mind that I go on to emend them (in brackets) and, add some more, All within brackets and small letters are my additions:
Sorry, none in K, W and Y. K becomes the hard C in Portuguese. W & Y almost non-existant, although there may be some anglicised ones begining with W. thre are quite a few of these, evolved during diaspora, e.g. Coutto - Coutts (Like Bishop Joe's family in Pakistan).
Many more will keep floating up.
next let us have a go at Hindu, Muslim and the neo-Goan monikers. I am with you.
