Thanks. His great great grandfather was from Nossa Senhora da Luz, Ponte da
Sol, Funchal, Madeira. His name was Joao Rodrigues and Maria dos Santos.

maybe when I start that branch I will find Bisho or Luiz.

anglicized version of the Portuguese surname Luiz or Luis - t
Pam,
I would recommend to include in your search the civil registries of
Sao Miguel, if available, because their legal form is more detailed
than the church's unless their "last name" were Bicho they would not
have registered it.
Bicho could also be a corruption of a foregin surname not just a ni
It may have originally been Luiz for middle name but (It was never used in
earlier records nor in hawaii) in Hawaii he used Louis then his kids used
Louis as a surname. so far no Luiz surnames

There is a normal order for surnames although it doesn't seem to be adhered to
that religiously in all cases. The variables occur when (1) there are too many

Pam,
I am not a native english speaker, so I don´t know if I can explain it
