I am somewhat confused about the spouse of Anna da Silva. What info do have on him. I suggest you look for his baptism, it may have something on Anna in the margin notes. You said he was 25 years old and married in 1895, so he was born circa 1870, right? JR On Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 3:57:49

There is no "o". The letters are p-e-l-i-c-a The priest finishes his "as" with a flair upward. Have a look at the record above and you will see how he finishes the "a" in Luisa, clipping below Yes, it would make it another word and that would be "pelicao" in eng. is pelican. On Tue, May 15

LOL, not really, there are many others on this list. Personally, I would stay with Portuguese version of "pelica" as a note or, if you will, alternate surname together with the proper Silveira surname i.e. Silveira pelica, same as shown on the record, so it all matches. On Tue, May 15, 2018
