Porém, estes segundos nomes próprios de devoção muitas vezes não constituíam apelidos e, sobretudo no caso das mulheres, até eram dos que mais vezes se abandonavam ou trocavam, ao longo da vida. Daí uma hipotética Maria, filha de Miguel Lobo e de Ana do Rosário, poder surgir no seu casamento como Maria do Sacramento e sem qualquer apelido; no seu óbito como Maria Loba; e no baptismo de um neto - quando ela já era falecida - como Maria do Rosário. Caso haja lacunas documentais, estas alterações fazem mesmo duvidar que estejamos perante o mesmo indivíduo.» - QUEIROZ, Francisco, MOSCATEL, Cristina, «DESCUBRA AS SUAS ORIGENS - Manual de Genealogia e História da Família», 2016, Esfera dos Livros, página 207. This book has been my Genealogy Bible for the last 3 years, and a true life saver when it comes to overcome brickwalls in my researches.

The only changes I found so far is in the religious name (usually the second name added to the main name). For example, Maria das Dores turning into Maria da Assunção. I don't know why they would change it, but since it usually didn't even appear in the baptism record (only Maria), maybe there's (option 1:) no real meaning/importance given to the name - the worst religious names I've seen so far are the ones given to expostos without a previous name -, or (option 2:) there was a more complex importance we still haven't figured out. I will check the "Descubra as suas origens" manual when I get home to see if the authors refer anything about this.

The Sao Jorge index makes it so easy to skim for "Silveira de Lemos" or variation thereof and "de Jesus" women or in my mom's line "Bernarda"......but, in other cases it's horribly confusing....ie: my great grand father from Candelaria took the surname Cardoso while his brother took Silva.......why? Who know's? Enjoy the puzzle!

For example Nicolau do Rego's son will be João do Rego Nicolau. On Tue, 19 Mar 2019 at 21:58, 'Sam (Camas, WA)' via Azores Genealogy <azores@googlegroups.com> wrote: Thanks Rick. I get it now.

If the Bride was Maria and the MIL was Francisca Rosa. The bride might take the name Maria Rosa or Maria Francisca. I cannot recall if I have seen the bride change her baptismal name.

Talk about making our job of tracing our ancestors harder! Not to mention, talk about a “kiss up”! LOL! Mary, Yes, it sure does make it harder to know what is what. I’m trying to fill in the different branches of my tree and didn’t really count on tracking down all the marriages and obits, etc. Was hoping to do it just through births/baptisms. Oh well, I never really expected to finish my tree!

I kind of think the bride sometimes took her mother in law’s name as a means to be accepted into the family better. Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, NH From: 'Sam (Camas, WA)' via Azores Genealogy <azores@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 12:46 PM To: genealogy <azores@googlegroups.com> Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Names (Santa Maria) Hello all; Has anyone else noticed how very, very often the names of the bride and or of the mother’s in law are exactly the same? i.e. Bernardina Jacintha, Anna Filomena, etc. Record after record, though not all of them of course, have the bride and her mother with exactly the same name and sometimes all three women in the record have the same name. It just makes me worry that the priest has been “tippling” the vino… I know certain names were very common but; it seems to be more than that….
