Hi Eddie!
I just posted my article "Family Tree" (Kuttombachem Zadd) on Goanet and subsequently received your list of relatives' names in Konkani. What a coincidence!

Friends, I have compiled a list of Relatives names in Konkani which are mostly used in Salcette. Some of these names are taken from the Portugese words. There may be some mistakes....you may correct or add more. We also used TI/Man - before the names of elders (brothers/Sisters or relatives) eg. TI -Sar for Sarah, Ti Olind, Man eddie, Man Minglu etc
