Or a nickname. Maybe he had a personality similar to that of a police officer. A very by-the-book, rule-oriented type of guy. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 9:19 PM,

October. He wrote 8obro. The 8 almost looks like an H. Should be 8bro. It has nothing to do with the way we write months with all numbers. It has to do with the Latin prefixes. Like an octopus has 8 arms because of the "oct." So Octobro is 8bro. 8 for Oct. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen

No, it's definitely not Policena. Looks like Polica. It's 6 letters and does NOT appear abbreviated. Maybe a native speaker will answer soon. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, May 14,

Thanks CHERI. I thought maybe it was “junior” in Portuguese because another website had that but I don’t think they used “junior” or Senior back then and in the Azores . It’s Not pereira either I don’t think. POLICA- does that stand for something? (Police?) Maybe I just forget about it
