[AZORES-Genealogy] Searching for Leandro (Mello) surname
Hello, I am new to this whole family history search so please bear with me. I am trying to search for my father's family line. However, I seem to have encountered a snag. My father who is getting on in age has told me that his surname of Leandro was not the real family name. Apparently his grandfather or great grand father was Leandro de Sousa Mello and decided that he didn't want to pass on the Mello name to his children so he passed on his first name of Leandro. The entire family comes from what is now Covoada, San Miguel, Azores. However, the Village did not have it's own hurch until recently so most records were recorded either in Arrifes or Relva. I seem to have found a Leandro De Sousa Mello from Arrifes born around 1830's. But I cannot find anything between his point and when my grandmother came to America. I only know that my Grandmother, Maria Sardinha Fernandes (born in 1906) married a Jose de Sousa Leandro (born around 1900) and had 12 children, four died in infancy and the other 8 are Jose, Joao, Manuel, David, Domingos, Conceicao, Serafim, and Maria do Carmo. All eight chilldren and my grandmother came to America after she became a widow. Serafim is my father. Has anyone else come across this family line?
