FRANCIS could have originally been Francisco which is normally a first name but can be a surname. BRIO has me stumped. There is a surname Brindeiro on Flores but it is rather unlikely (but not impossible) that it would have been shortened to Brio. I'll have to think about that some more. John Vasconcelos
