Excellent info! Obrigada. Manuel Azevedo was my grandfather's name. He was
born and raised on São Jorge Island. Although there are no hard and fast rules
regarding names--how prominent is the name 'Azevedo' among Portuguese Jews?

Hi: You sparked my curiosity. My husband's AZEVEDO line is from Rosais, Sao
Jorge, Azores.
Do you know which village your Manuel Azevedo was from?
