[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: How to spell a portuguese surname
Hello All, I have a relative who's name I wrote down as: Mary Pavo. I spelled it the way it sounded but now I am trying to find it in the records and am not sure if the spelling is correct. Can someone tell me if this is the correct spelling for that name? Thank you and any help is appreciated.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: How to spell a portuguese surname
Guida, Lionel, Jason and Marralha, Thank you all for your input. I think the way it was pronounced to me in English was PA-VO. I was looking in the Mass, Vital Records Archives to find a Frank Roderick Silva and Mary Pavo married in about 1903 in Cambridge. Could not come up with anything on her to match the Frank Silva's I found. So I will go back and try all the different names. Thank you all for all your help.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: How to spell a portuguese surname
Hi Vivian' The name is usually spelled as Pavao. Hope this is helpful. On some census lists it was mistakenly written as Parvo because that is how it is pronounced in Portuguese. I think that you will find it as Pavao.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: How to spell a portuguese surname
Hi Joanne, Thanks for the info. I will try that name also. I need to go back
to the ship records to see if I can find her coming into this country at that
time also 1903 because she had come over to this country from the Azores to
marry my great grandfather Frank R. Silva. I know I still have relatives I
have not found in Mass. so I keep looking. Thank you again. Vivian (Silva)

I researched an Oakland, California family that was originaly Pavao, then for the next two censuses changed it to Peacock.
