This is from a photograph of the church called Nossa Senhora da Conceição in the city of Angra do Heroísmo, island of Terceira, Açores (Azores), Portugal.
It is an example of the typical look of Catholic churches in Portugal. 
You supply the picture and place an order for one where your ancestors were baptized, no matter what country.

Comments: My name is Orlando Octavio de Jesus Duarte de Oliveira Silva (quite a mouthful!) aka “Ollie”. My paternal grandparents were João Affonso d’Oliveira Silva and Maria Rosa d’Azavedo. My maternal grandparents were José Luis Duarte Catulo and Quiteria Leticia Teles (of Curtorim). All of them were residents and parishioners of Ponda, Goa. My parent’s names were Jose Joaquim d’Oliveira and Maria Ernestina Duarte Catulo. My father’s only brother João Theodoro Oliveira had 2 sons, Alfredo and Mario, last heard in Nairobi, Kenya and England. I’m trying to locate relatives in Africa, Brasil, England, Goa and Portugal. I would be happy to hear from them or anyone who can help me trace them. Thanks. Ollie

Location: Baixo Longa, Angola
Comments: I am looking for my biological father Adriano Olivera or Adriano de Oliveira. He is from Portugal. He worked in Angola in 1970s. He met my mother in Rito, they lived together in Baixo Longa, Angola. According to my mother he returned to Portugal to work in Lisbon between 1976-1979 while she was pregnant. My mother is Diana Kavunda Chimbi. I’m not sure if he is still alive, but would like to get in touch with him, any of his children or any other relatives. I don't wish to cause any upset to anyone and I understand if any potential relatives are reticent to get in touch, but it would be nice to piece together the puzzle of my life that has remained incomplete for more than 30 years. I am living with my wife and children in Namibia but we want to know that side of the family too. I humbly request anyone with his information or himself to contact me please.

For comments, questions, or to submit your own surnames and locations, send e-mail to: . Make the subject "Masterlist" and include the same kind of information you see in the above entries: Your name & address, Telephone no., Email address, Surnames in one village (in alphabetical order), Comments you wish to add. If you have more than one village, submit the same things for each and every village.

Religious "surnames" (like "de Jesus, da Conceição, do Espirito Santo, etc.") of women are usually not accepted since they're of no genealogical value, except in cases where these names are used by males. Refer to my series of articles on "Portuguese Naming Traditions" on this website.
