You are so right, John! I have many families where the boys took Mom's
surname, for whatever reason! In my greatgrandma's family all of her male
sibs took Lemos for their surname and it took me 3 generations back to see
where the Lemos came from!

What may even be more mind boggling is that in some rare cases, a male
child may take his mother's surname. Cases in which this may happen may
include:
1) families in which there were no male children born in the previous
generation,
2) for inheritance reasons where the mother's line is wealthy

Annie,
The Carvalho family I worked on came in 1911 to Hawaii, then settled in the
Niles, Alameda, California
The parish church for the freguisia of *Bretanha* in the concelho of *Ponta
Delgada*, island of* Sao Miguel* is called *Nossa Senhora de Ajuda*, so the
records read *Ajuda de Bretanha*.
I'm not quite sure the way I'm supposed to list some of my Portuguese names
on ancestry.com
Example:
Maria de Jesus de Freitas?
What is the surname? de Freitas? Freitas?
Do I list her as
(First Name) Maria de Jesus de (Surname) Freitas ???
Can someone tell me what is correct?

Nobody knows what his real name was.
He went here by JJ Carvalho.
He once said his name was José Joaquim.
He also said it was Joao.
His cousin in Flores told me it was José
Annie,
Use this method:
(First Name) Maria de Jesus de (Surname) Freitas
When you get to the the time period of women without surnames, you'll just
list her as:
First name: Maria de Jesus. Surname:
You'll leave it blank. It's weird, but you'll get used to it.

Listowner,
For those new to Portuguese research and entering names into your genealogy
program do not give the girls their Father's surname! As Cheri stated,
there is a time when there is no surname given in the documents and you
can't do as we do in this country and give the girls their Dad's surname.
In
I'm glad you confirmed NOT to add father's surname . Ugh- that is so hard to
do because there's so many with the same first name- Marias. I recently did
that on family search so I'll have to go back and delete those last names.
Thank you for the reminder

I bumped into something strange while going to marriages in the village of
Santa Cruz, Graciosa. I found the marriage I was looking for in an index in the
end of the book, nº. 596, Tomas Nogueira Picanço and D. Maria de Bettencourt,
page 184. Well, happens that this page is missing, so Im
Eric,
I want to be sure I understand you.
Are you saying this family you gave me information for is not my family?
Because the names and dates fit, but my family did NOT go to Hawaii, though
I'm in contact with a good friend in Hawaii whose husband is a Carvalho.
And are you saying that

Annie,
Yes a different Carvalho family.
The record that says Maria Jose de Freitas is the same person. It could be
a transcription error by the archivist, or the way the priest wrote it.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My mom's family came from Flores and
I have cousins raised there that
