Repost for Fred Souza, fsouza31 at comcast.net Cheri,
Thanks so much for clarifying how this works. I don't have any connection to a genealogy program yet, but I regularly read the correspondence from within the group, and this was the first time I had seen SOUSA mentioned, so I wanted to look at what he had just in case it gave some hints to my family. My only surviving uncle (born in the US) seems to think there was a dramatic name change so that our last name shouldn't even be Souza, (and I have some feeling that he may be right since my dad had issues when he retired because of the name he thinks is the right one being on his birth certificate). Of course, this makes finding any information really complicated. On the other side it is even more complicated because there maternal surname issue and there being a lack of any family to contact creates another dead end. At this point I will be satisfied to just get back to the information from the original immigrants, and leave it up to my kids and cousins to go from there. Thanks, Frederick Souza 19 Owen Drive Stonington, CT 06378-1012 -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
