QUESTION: I wonder if the Nazareth who was a barrister and one time Politician from Nairobi, Kenya was a member of this same family? Nazareth's father is mentioned in Ms Albuquerque's book on Kenya Goans, he is reported to have walked all the way from Mombasa to Dear Gabe, Although Augusto's Uncle Nazareth is a mythical one, the Nazereth you are referring to is probably John Maximian (Mackie) Nazareth, who was also known as "QC". apparently, he was the first Goan to be appointed Q.C. The young Nazareth, John Lawrence, you have mentioned is Mackie's grandson. http://www.goacom.com/culture/biographies/mprofile.html The Dr. Vincent Xavier de Sa also mentioned on that page is the nephew of Mackie. The Nazareth and de Sa family have many interconnections through marriage.
