Surnames: NUNEZ Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cc.2ADI/688 Message Board Post: My mother, now 90, was born in the Covena-Norristown area. She was delivered by Dr. Nunez. In a previous posting, I noticed that the town of Nunez was named after a Dr. Nunez that came over during Oglethorpe's time (1733) and was from Portugal and was instrumental in the Jewish movement in Savannah as well as providing medical services for the Colony. My question: Is the Emanuel county Dr. Nunez related to the Dr. Nunez that was in the original colony? Does anyone have the "tree" on the Emanuel county Nunez?
