Dear Char, No, it's not a typo error. I've seen the name (usually spelled Felizberto ) and a feminine version ending in "a" instead of "o".? I remember them in records from Faial? and Pico. Arline Silveira in Grover Beach, CA I received a letter from a Church today, and it gives the first name of an ancestor's father as something that I have never heard before. The name is Flizberto. Is this a typo error? Anyone else heard or seen this name? It was Ramos as a last name. Char --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Bernadina Furtado b. 1897
Hello Group, After attending the "Tracing Your Portuguese Roots Genealogy Workshop" last weekend, I decided not to waste another minute interviewing my relatives who are still among us. I called my father's cousin today, she's 88 and told more about my grandmother, Bernadina Furtado that I ever knew before now. I never knew my grandmother, but she lived on today with Joanne's memories. Must admit, I had a tear in my eye and a smile on my face, at the same time. lol Joanne told me that my father, was very strict. I replied back " no kidding" remember he was my father and I know all about his rule of thumb. I'm looking forward to meeting up with Joanne & her brother, Manuel in the next few weeks and I'm bringing my tape recorder.
