[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: `1886 Rabo de Peixe baptism of Jose Taveres de Teves

It's ganhadeiro. It looks like a nickname to me, meaning one who is a "winner', or who is winning. It may have a specific meaning in its historical time that I am not aware of. *ga·nha·dei·ro* (*ganhar + -deiro*) *adjectivo e substantivo masculino* 1. Que ou quem aufere ganhos, lucros. 2.

Hi Joanne, Right side, Top entry I think it looks like Andre Gracia, which is a variant of Garcia, if I understand rightly. If you look at the "C" in "nasces" (right after Maria's last name), it's the same as in "Gracia". The "a" looks like an "o" to me too, but I'm fairly sure it's an "a".

Hi Cheri, Thank you. I am still digging out which part of the Azores he is from but it turns out the naming conventions making things even weirder. I am 99% sure I tracked him to the boat he came over on, which was the Romanic in 1911. His name on the boat was actually Joao M. Silva. He had

Yes, it says "Santos Velhos" but you got it...it should be recorded Santos-o-Velho. and do you know why? Simply because there are two (2) in Lisbon, named Santos: Santos-o-Velho (church) and Santos-o-Novo (monastery). Have a look. http://www.openhouselisboa.com/places/convento-de-santos-o-novo/
