[AZORES-Genealogy] Surname David
It is possible that this name originates from an ancestor who was a foundling, i.e., a baby abandoned at birth, and given the first name David at baptism. His descendants would have taken one of 3 surnames: 1-da Câmara, if David was a ward of the state which paid a stipend for the first year of life to the foster parents, 2- the name of the family that fostered him; e.g. if he was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Machado, then the descendants might have taken Machado as a family name, or, and most likely, 3- David became the surname, e.g., David's son José then becomes José David. I have several examples of all 3 cases in my lineage. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Surname: Dobales
Thanks. That is helpful. The spelling had to have been different because it is very difficult to find people outside of California with the spelling of Dobales. Although, there have been a few in Hawaii and there is a city in Cuba named Dobales.
