Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Devotional names
Bill S, Actually, there is no rule for first marriages either. So the rule of "there is no rule" still applies. Maddening. Anyways, I remembered that Kathy Cardoza, Web master of the Azores GenWeb, wrote a brief article on naming practices: http://goo.gl/Vwt3UL Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Devotional names
Thank you all for your responses and examples that make it clear that there is no rule for second marriages for me to deposit into my knowledge bank. Margaret: The possibilities you offer make a lot of sense. Thanks for your insight. JR: I have made contact with N. Teixeira before and this Manuel Bernardo and Emilia Rosa are his GG grandparents through their son Jose. They are also my wife's through their daughter Rosa; mine through their daughter Felicidade; and of the cousin of Lee (from this group), also through their daughter Felicidade. Thanks again to all.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Devotional names
One my wife's side of the family she has an ancestor that was born out of wedlock the childs mother instead of choosing a surname chose a devotional name Do Menino Jesus de Praga. Which roughly translates to (of the child Jesus from Prague). Here is a depiction of one. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficheiro:Infant_Jesus_of_Prague.jpg -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
