Suzanne,
My grandmother has da Conceicao in her family, but I don't yet know more than
that.

Hello, I haven't posted to the group in a long time and was wondering
if anyone has connections
I would venture a guess that most of us have a Conceicao in the family-
that's not typically a last name as we have them here. It's given to
females. Other examples of that would be de Jesus.

Sorry, all- I sent this from a different email address a few minutes ago and I
think it bounced due to lack of permission to post. This address should work.
I know that in the old country, my Azorean relatives would honor the custom of
asking for the blessing of their elders. My Uncle Tony
Conceicao is Conception. Women born around the Immaculate Conception-Dec. 8.

Suzanne,
That's just her middle name. That's what women did in that time period.
For an explanation on women's names, see this article that Kathy Cardoza and

I was taught to ask for a blessing from my Parent's, Godparents and any
Aunts and Uncles. I would bring my hand up and kiss it and say Benca,(sp?)
Padrinho or whoever I was addressing. This was done with family members
upon seeing them first thing in the morning and again when we went to
Beautiful...ah, the good old days.

Again, most of this is from Joao Ventura's notes. The dates are
approximate, so give or take a few years. I am not going to show samples of
these records. Frankly, I don't want to scare anyone! By the time someone
is researching their Portuguese ancestry back to 1700 or before, you'll be
