*Hello there "E",
In answer to your question ("How many name changes can one family have?" If
you mean surnames, It can add up and it may vary with the time in history
when it occurred. In my own family tree, The Vasconcelos surname goes back
(including me) 6 generations to my 4G grandfather Antonio Caetano de
Vasconcellos (born about 1740). His parents were Joao Pimentel Velho and
Anna Pimentel. I was unable to find any record of his parents so he was the
end of that line. Anna Pimentel's parents were Manoel Pimentel and Isabel de
Freitas. Manuoel Pimentel's parents were Domingos Nunes and Marrianna Fraga
both end of line. Isabel de Freitas' parents were Domingos Fernandez and
Catharina de Freitas, both end of line. So in that particular branch of my
family tree, surnames seemed to have changed every generation in the late
1600's and early 1700's.
Regards,
John Vasconcelos
