Wow Sam! Big project! Tish Meals and her husband Deni have extracted a large
amount of the records on Santa Maria. You're probably doing different areas?
Best regards,

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Switching back and forth of surnames
Hi everyone; Just thought I’d mention, especially for those starting out, that
I have been doing extractions on Santa Maria Island and I now realize how often
surnames of individuals were switched back and forth on records. For example
the surnames: Monteiro and Tavares. I have seen the same man as Antonio
Tavares Monteiro and as Antonio Monteiro Tavares on several different records
of his children’s birth. I know it is the same man because his wife, paternal
grandparents and maternal grandparents all match. How easy it is to overlook a
match because of this. I am finding that doing extractions of the entire time
period is very helpful in finding extended families. This project will take me
a long time and I’ll probably keep asking everyone for help reading some of the
information, especially side notes which sometimes can help you add to the
line. Once I am done, I hope to be able to help others looking in the same
freguesia and time periods.
Happy Ancestor Hunting,
Sam (Mazatlán, MX)
