So, there is now a new version of this name. In this record it looks like Tarrabasana. I am wondering if it is actually Tarragona, as in Tarragona, Spain. I am 26% Spanish. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1880-1881/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1880-1881_item1/P20.html

Z and S can sound the same in Portuguese. And it's a 5 syllable word. I'm wondering how "b" becomes "g" and a syllable gets dropped if your theory is correct. You have your immigrant ancestor from Spain to Lagoa and know he settled there? Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel is

I do not have my immigrant yet, I just know that I’m 26% Spanish, this could be from my dad’s side as he was from the mainland. I honestly don’t know but it will be fun investigating! On Fri, Mar 1, 2019 at 12:01 PM Cheri Mello wrote: > Z and S can sound the same in Portuguese. And it's a 5 syll

If you are 26% Spanish, then you have one grandparent who is from Spain. You know who that grandparent is? Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Fri, Mar 1, 2019 at 9:19 AM Leonor Bertoni wrote:

If you are using the DNA ethnicity estimates to assume your grandfather was Spanish and from Taragona, that's a dangerous assumption. DNA ethnicity ESTIMATES are just that - ESTIMATES. They are kinda in the toddler stage of life. My dad, who is 50% Portuguese was classified as a good chunk of Frenc

OK Leonor. It's difficult to tell when someone "wonders out loud" in an email. We just have to pretty much take the writing at face value.
