[Cheri Mello]

I've never heard that Jácome translates to Jacob.

My line ends in the Sao Pedro church of Santa Maria island with a Manuel
Jácome m. to Guimar Velha. They are having kids in the 1670s and 1680s. So
they married before that. Sometime in the 1680s they moved to Vila Franca
do Campo and continue having kids there (Sao Miguel Arcanjo church).

I don't have all the kids and of the ones I do have, I don't have a
Sebastiao. I don't have any compounding their names either.

My dad carries Manuel Jácome's Y DNA. I don't know if you had your husband
Y DNA test or not. If you did, he's not matching my dad and it's a
different Jácome line.

Cheri:  

The top of my husband's pedigree chart goes back to the name Jacome.  I went as 
far back as Sebastiao De Resendes Jacome (x Maria da Costa) in Santa Maria.  
Are your Jacome's from there also?  

I looked up the meaning of Jacome and it's "Jacob". I thought of Jacob of the 
House of Israel.

I don't think you will do better than this below:

 

*From:* GoshawkJM
*Date:* Sun, 22 Mar 1998 10:01:28 EST

In a message dated 98-03-22 00:02:56 EST, you write:

<< MEDEIROS--- Nome de muito proveis razes toponmicas, foi contemporneo
e partidrio de Mestre de Avis um Rui Gonalves de Medeiros, que assumiu a
alcaidaria-mor de vora, depois dos tumultos que envolveram esta cidade no
incio da crise 1383-85. Dele descendem os mais Medeiros que se conhecem, um
ramo dos quais se fixou na ilha da Madeira, quando se iniciou a colonizao da
ilha. As suas armas so: de vermelho, cinco cabeas de guia de ouro, em aspa.
Timbre: uma guia de vermelho, sainte, estendida e armada de ouro.

Source: 
Page 248, Dicionrio Das Famlias Portuguesas, by D. Luiz de Lancastre e
Tavora (Marqus de Abrantes), Quetzal Editores, Lisboa, 1989

MEDEIROS--- a name most probably derived from a place name or of 
geographical
origin. Rui Goncalves de Medeiros was a peer and a supporter of the Master 
of
Avis. He was made the chief governing officer of the city of Evora after the
uprisings that enveloped the city during the beginnings of the Crisis of
1383-85. From Rui are descended many with that name, including a branch that
settled on the island of Madeira when it was first colonized. The coat-of-
arms: in the shield, there is a red background with five eagles' heads of
gold. The crest is a red eagle which extends itself and is rimmed in gold.

One of the foremost authorities on the Medeiros name, at least in my 
opinion, is this researcher, Decio Medeiros. His site his here: 
https://sites.google.com/site/deciomedeiros/home/genealogia/medeiros

If you google around you may also find some of his articles in English.

Google User dea.jo.scr...@gmail.com (You may consider getting yourself a
name, most of us use them and it makes communication much easier)  :)

The Azores islands are 9 islands west of Portugal. They are an autonomous
region of Portugal. The Madeira islands is another archipelago of only 2
inhabited islands, more southwest of Portugal. They too are an autonomous
region of Portugal. Madeiran wine does indeed come from Madeira. There's a
region on Terceira in the Azores that makes wine too (possibly Biscoitos -
somewhere around there).

Isn't THAT The truth!

Medeiros comes from the terms Medeiro or Madeira  I know one has to do with
picking/husking (maize) corn or the area of picking maize, which would
typically suggest they were maize/corn farmers. However, Madeira is a
region and a form of wine, isn't it?

Andrew if you go to google and type in Medeiros surname you can see info on the 
origin of the Medeiros surname etc. My surname is also 
Medeiros.There is a town in Northern Portugal called Medeiros, Portugal.

I highly recommend Melo Bento, Carlos Eduardo. Origens Geográficas dos Açores, 
Criativaçores, Ponta Delgada: 2015. It gives you not only places of origin but 
also the first person of the particular family name to come to the Azores.

[Cheri Mello]

Andrew M,

However, most families really don't have a coat of arms or armorial. We
were just a bunch of hard working peasants back then!

Also, you are used to the American tradition of naming patterns and you
only *think* your surname is Medeiros. It's not. My surname should have
been Jacome when you go back far enough (where I ran out of records).

Cheri Mello (could have been Cheri de Mello or Cheri Jacome)

Andrew,
There is a book called *Armorial Lusitano *which gives the origins of the
Portuguese names, not necessaryily Azorean. The book is all in Portuguese
but has the coats of arms and a brief history of the names. I bought the
book several years ago from a book dealer in Lisbon.  This is what is on
the bottom of the box that holds the book:

Representacoes Zairol, Lda.
Rue Latino Coelho, 8-5. (degree sign) Dto.

[AZORES-Genealogy] History of Azorean Surames Resources

[Andrew Medeiros]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any reputable resources, 
either in print or online, that provide detailed information about the 
history of Azorean surnames and their origins.  For example, I wanted to 
look up the history of my last name Medeiros, such as its meaning and where 
it came from.  However, I am having a difficult time doing so.  Any 
suggestions?

Many Thanks,
Andrew
