Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] help

Yes and no. In general, first and nicknames names and religious names are not surnames. However they can and sometimes do become surnames over time. You might find another document that states their surnames, or not. You have to go with what you see, so for now leave it as surname. JR On

This is another reason that everyone should get their DNA tested. Even if you think your genealogy is "done" and you have nothing to gain, you actually have answers in your DNA to help others. Almost everyone has a pai(s) incognito(s) in their tree. And all the adoptees we can help. The Azores

What a wonderful gift you gave to this family member and to your azores group family. My motto "never give up." Wishes and promises do come true, maybe 20 years later but, eventually, they do with kind, caring people such as yourself. Thank you for sharing this inspiring journey. "E" On Fri,

Luciana, When I was in the archive in Ponta Delgada, they told me that the Passaportes existed only for certain years. The rest are lost. Ancestry.com is American based and heavy on American records. They have some Canadian ones too. Nothing Portuguese. Don't remember seeing anything Brasilian,

Hi Mara, Thank you so much for helping. So the Baptism entry from 1956 was the first one, even though he was Baptized only a month after he was born... weird... Anyway, do you think there were no passports issuing in Ponta Delgada before 1875 or they only not avaiable for research? The
