Pam and Cheri, Normally the reason to "add" a name was to distinguish oneself from the many others that may be living in the same area. However, our ancestors were also kind of mercenary, and, often they added certain surnames in order to enhance their ability to acquire, or inherit, property, w

Nutshell version: The SNPs place you on the phylogenetic tree of mankind. It's kind of like getting into the anthropology of your DNA. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Multiple people with same names

I can only think of one ancestor that did this. After his wife died, he added her name after his. So if his name was Jose de Medeiros, he became Jose de Medeiros Umbelina. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To
