Wow, that's really neat.But on the Eurogenes K36 I ran, when I get to letter I (which for me is Indo-Chinese) I can't see the ones below that. I'll have to try other tests with fewer categories so that doesn't happen.Doug da Rocha HolmesPico Terceira

I like books, but, I don't necessarily *need* a library; I just need the one book with information I'm looking for. Apparently, you missed the point I was making, which was that you already have too many abbreviations (two pages are two pages too many). It defeats the point of having

Dear all, We are trying to find some information on a man named Fernandes Baleeiro from Faial and Graciosa. As far as we know, he emigrated from Faial to Bahia (Brazil) in 1726. I'm aware that the information is scarce, but perhaps you could gide us on how to begin or where could we try to

Hello Albert,Fernandes is a surname. Maybe his name was Fernando?Or maybe you are missing his given name and Fernandes Baleeiro is the compound surname.Your information about him coming from Graciosa matches what I know about people named Baleeiro. They are found elsewhere in small numbers, so can

I'm thinking it's likely a Jose or Joao etc, Fernandes, Baleeiro. His alcunha or even occupation as a whaler. You can find the Baleerio in Bahia records, but not until the 1890s. Maybe some background on where the information came from would help here. Eric Edgar On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at

Albert, Doug has given you some tips, but, you still need more info to be able to find your ancestor. I'm not sure how you came by the name, Fernandes Baleeiro, but as Doug has mentioned, *Fernandes* is normally used as a surname.* Baleeiro,* on the other hand, translates as *whaler,* and, may

No doubt Baleeiro (found in records also as Balieiro) came from being a nickname, but it's also a real surname and usually from Graciosa.For some proof of my assertion it's a surname I take for example one Agueda Baleeiro of Velas from the 1500s, whom I have tentatively connected to one Pedro
