Angela; I appreciate this info. With the different records using different parts of our ancestors surnames at different times, it’s a wonder we ever figure this stuff out!
These are not actually my people, although I do have a number of Soares and Chaves as well as a few Camara and Ferreira in my lineage. I finally got so tired of going back and forth looking for people. Perusing the same records many times that I decided to just do spreadsheets on B/m/d on Vila do Porto, Santa Maria and when I came across “Minhoto”, I thought it was unusual as I’d only seen it once before. I sure am getting educated by doing the spreadsheets. I really appreciate everyone’s help, Sam (Mazatlán, MX) From: Ângela Loura Sent: Tuesday, March 5, 2019 7:42 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Unusual surname help: Minhoto Minhoto is what people from the Minho region are called. >From what i checked i think there's no connection between the 2 men you >mention.
