Aloha, Lisa!
Am really pleased that you're on 'top of it'with regard to our Portuguese ancestry!
It is amazing what changes in names come
about by ommission, one's inability to spell one's own name (no schooling, perhaps), the
unfamiliarity of dealing with newly arrived
immigrants by census takers as well as by
local/regional officials!Ferreting out the correctness (if ever learned) makes our task
of learning about our forebears a very dif-
ficult one.But, what rewards when 'facts'
are learned through dogged determination!!
Take care! Ron
