Doug,
I thought of that, as my wife's Abreu family has numerous spellings on
records, but the Ancestry trees I found confirmed the Abrao spelling. The
trees are fairly extensive but poorly cited.

We have talked before now I think you and my wife are distant cousins
connected thru da Silva do Pumat born 1782 in Arco da Calheta, Madeira. He
had two sons, my wife's line is thru Antonio da Silva do Pomar born 1828.
Do you show this infomation to be correct? Thanks--I hope you had
Cheri,
After you do the test, can you join more than one project. My husband has
ancestors from both the Azores and Madeira. He would like to join both
projects but I am wondering if he would have to do the test twice?
Thank you,

Apparently found on Faial. I've seen it in Madeira and Brazilian records,
Australian shiplists from Portugal and Spain, and in California. It is a
form of Abraham. It is seen as a given name in some Portuguese and Jewish
families. Most search engines confuse it with Abreu.
