Elizabeth
Cardoza is my husband’s surname. That branch of his family was from Terceira.
If you go back a couple of generations to the Azores, you can see that the
surname for a while was Esteves. His own grandfather used several surnames
(Cardoza, Souza, Esteves, and various combinations) until he settled on Cardoza
he immigrated to the U.S. The Cardoza/Cardoso part was from a maternal line.
Unfortunately, and to our dismay, you can NOT follow a surname line by name
only. The naming practices of the Azores are such that they don’t necessarily
take their father’s surname for each generation. In fact, that is fairly
uncommon. For a more in depth explanation of this to guide you in your
research, please see this article:
