Yes, I descend from Jerónimo too. He certainly had some status. (Curiously Jerónimo de Sousa is precisley the name of the current Communist Party leader, in Portugal, a member of Parliament, a very well known figure, though I do not share his views, a nice and popular man.) Anyway this link I send is not yet fully confirmed by documents . It's an hypothesis, a sound one, and chronologically possible. There is also the fact that these were the Sousas from Ribeira Grande, and apparently there were no others, and Jerónimo de Sousa was from Ribeira Grande. Then we have the Jerónima de Sousa and knowing that surnames and names repeat themselves in the same family, and that people take (even today) the names of the father or mother, Jerónimo is a sound candidate for that Sousa of Ribeira Grande, family.

Yes I did note that. Is he nice because is from Alentejo or do you just have to say that because you live in the cradle of communism in Portugal? Just getting you going...

Though I live in the cradle of communism I am a notoriously non communist, but Jerónimo is universally appreciated. He is truly a humble and kind man. And we can not forgive him his ideology, at least we can forget it. On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Fernandes, Jose < [email protected]> wrote: > Yes I did note that.
