Thank you John, I am stumped also as are others. It seems that Brio is an
Italian surname, he was definitely Azorean and born on Flores...I appreciate
your help...Sorry for double posts by me...I'm new at this !!!

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.
