This naming of the women issue is why it is so helpful to have the baptismal and marriage records. Women generally had their first name and a religious name, but didn’t use their father’s surname. So Thera are tons of Anna de Jesus or Maria da Conceçao names out there.
Here is a list from Wikipedia of names added to Maria: *Religious predicates* (often honouring one of the Virgin Mary's denominations): - Catholic devotion festivities: Maria da Conceição (referring to Our Lady of Conception), Maria das Dores (Our Lady of Sorrows), Maria da Assunção (Assumption of Mary <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_of_Mary>), Maria da Natividade (Nativity of Mary <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativity_of_Mary>). - A place of a Marian apparition <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_apparitions>: Maria de Fátima( Fátima <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima>), Maria de Lurdes (Lourdes <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Lourdes> ), Maria de la Salete (La Salette <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_La_Salette>), Maria Aparecida (common in Brazil, after Aparecida <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Aparecida>), Maria Nazaré( Nazareth <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazareth>). - A virtue or a nature element (many of which have lost religious associations nowadays): Maria do Céu (Heaven <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven> or Sky <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky>), Maria da Luz(Light <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light>), Maria do Mar (Sea <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea>), Maria da Graça(Grace <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_grace>). - The name of a saint: Maria de São José (after Saint Joseph <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph>). I found my Anna de Jesus on her marriage record listing her fathers surname, Aguiar. Debbie Researching: 1. LUIZ surname— including Luiz de SOUZA, PIMENTEL, Antonio CABRAL, and PEREIRA—on Sao Miguel (Sao Roque, Ponta Delgada) and North Kohala, Hawaii, Hawaii 2. MENDONCA and AGUIAR on Madeira (Santana, but perhaps other places); Sao Paulo, Brazil; Hawi. Hawaii, Hawaii; Oakland and San Leandro, California On Wed, Nov 6, 2019 at 6:22 PM Antoinette Lima <limabeans1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you again Bill, Yes the birth and death dates are very wrong but > according to the Cemetery where she is buried the says date should have > been 1952, so they also have noted that difference too. > > I do have a question that perhaps you have the answer to.
