Wink!) I actually am the godmother to one of my grandsons (I told them about

2) If you find a woman with a surname, you can either record it that way,
or make a note that it was found that way only on her marriage or
something.

event that he married under the name of Joao Silveira de Souza Bettenco
This subject line is going to drive Cheri crazy (sorry Cheri) but I have so
many questions about names right now I tried to cover it all in one email.
1. Is the name Accacio familiar? The first time I saw it I transcribed it

Bill, as far as I know and if the person was married, the process was to
adopt the children 'under' the marriage umbrella with the wife now being

This record is the baptism of my wife's grandfather (José, record #6, lower

The only reason I know it is him is that his marriage and death are

is no mention of any father. My wi

My GGmother came from the Azores.
My GGmother came from the Azores. Is it common for a daughter to have
her Mothers name as well as her Fathers name? Example-Jennie
Silva(Mothers Maiden Name) Solomon(Fathers name)...
while her brother has only Manuel Solomon?

Hi Eddie,
You can pick up the middle name in their marriage or on the baptism of
their kids. That's about all I can think of.

Eddie M,
No, usually if one finds two males with the same name, then the first one
died before the 2nd one was born. I said usually. I think there are
probably a couple of people on this list who may have males with the same
name who both lived to adulthood, but I'd say that was the exception.
Hi everyone,
Just curious two of my great uncles were both named Manoel, was this common
in Sao Jorge?
