Hello, I've spent some time studying Achada and Nordestinho, Nordeste records and I've seen both male and female interchange surnames. example, Jose de Faria, I found his marriage record and first child born, using the name Jose Correa Pimentel. His grandma was a Pimentel and his great grandma was a Correa. I've also seen inter-change of names with Silva-Brandoa (Nordestinho), Simas-Resendes (Achada), and Pimentel-Resendes (Achada). In most of these cases, they were simply using either the father or mothers surname. In the case of Jose de Faria, it took a little extra work and going back in the family tree to figure it out.
As for the pais incognito, a DNA test could help elucidate your husband's pedigree. As for the mother of Jose (the son), I can't make it out. I tried looking for Joze de Almeida and ? da Conceicao's marriage record but I couldn't find it. I looked in Sao Sebastiao and Agua Retorta Here is Jose's baptism (father), left hand side; take a look at his maternal grandparents surnames. I think it agrees with your original assumptions and findings regarding Jose and Luis de Almeida. Good work! http://goo.gl/NmK2X0 brother Francisco de Almeida's baptism http://goo.gl/tVR9n2 brother Luis's baptism http://goo.gl/hnn8jc On Monday, March 17, 2014 8:40:54 PM UTC-7, Maria wrote: > > > Upper left hand page- for JOZE > > I'm was searching for children born to Luiz D'Almeida from the parish in > Agua Retorta in Sao Miguel, (the same exact parish as is mentioned in > this record) and his wife Luiza de Jesus. > > However, I came across this record where the names of the grandparents > are so similar, that I wondered if Luiz D'Almeida is a brother to Jose > D'Almeida. the name of the parents for both Luiz and Jose are both Jose > D'Almeida and both men's mother is Miguelina.
