There is a normal order for surnames although it doesn't seem to be adhered to
that religiously in all cases. The variables occur when (1) there are too many
persons with the same name in a particular freguesia - that's when the
alcunha is usually unceremoniously applied to the least of our

Rick,
Your Maria Rosa do Amaral m. to Inácio Manuel de Medeiros, is on the
Genealogias de S. Miguel by RR.
See chapter 24º, § 10º, nº 8 - Da descendência de Pedro Vieira da Silva.
And I also think that Antonio de Medeiros Raposo is the one listed as son
of Manuel de Medeiros Raposo, and
Thank you Margaret, you are always so helpful. The writer of that document
should have been a doctor.

Rick, I don't think you should read too much into the name without
evidence. My understanding is that the slaves were given family names by
the owners precisely because they were slaves and property. They don't get
to choose their names. Occasionally you will see a slave who has a child by

Hi JR,
It is speculation on my part. I agree that without definitive information it
remains just that. It clearly indicates where the name came from. The rest

Pam,
I would recommend to include in your search the civil registries of
Sao Miguel, if available, because their legal form is more detailed
than the church's unless their last name were Bicho they would not
have registered it.
Bicho could also be a corruption of a foregin surname not just a
Antone Louis Medeiros apparently thought of the name Louis as a surname, why
else would he have dropped Medeiros and started using Louis? Apart from that,
I was merely suggesting earlier, the possibility that Louis could have been an
anglicized version of the Portuguese surname Luiz or Luis -

family back a few generations so far no Luis doesn't mean there isn't since

I have been trying to figure out where,or if there might be any record of

Flores in 1851, 1853 and 1856 and Immigrated to California early on. The

The name Luiz/Luis as a name was mentioned on another thread. So the topic
of the other thread doesn't become taken over and become completely off
topic, I started a new thread by beginning a new email.
In my database, I have 19 people of Portuguese descent with the first name
of Luis or Luiz.

I have several Luiz/Luis in my files of Sacramento families, and many who
