We have a friend from Pico who has the name Adriano. Nancy Jean Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 19:07:06 -0700 From: menesesli...@gmail.com To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Is Adriano a Portuguese first name?
Hi again Mel, I just checked the Flores/Corvo Index and Adriano does not appear in it. However, Adriao (with tilde) shows up 15 times. Cross-checked the Terceira index again, and Adriao only appears once there. I do not know if they are the same name or not. best wishes, Linda On Friday, October 30, 2015 at 6:56:10 PM UTC-7, linda wrote:Hi Mel, Yes. I just searched the Terceira marriage index, and it appears there. From my quick look, it doesn't seem to be used very frequently, appearing only 20 times. The usage spanned about 1690 to 1900 and was both a personal and surname.

The patriarch is supposed to be from Portugal and the matriarch from Sao Miguel. She says they were married on Sao Miguel which I am skeptical of. The couple was in Hawaii in the 1890s. The patriarch's name is Adriano Martin. Is Adriano a Portuguese first name? I question this because I haven't seen it before. Also, when going through the Hawaiian records the only Adriano's I came across were Filipino and Italian. As I haven't found her family in the records for Hawaii, I am wondering if it could be because I am looking for the wrong nationality. Thanks for the help!
