Hello, This question may have been previously posted, if so, my apologies for the repetition. Is the 'Junior' and 'Senior' designation noted after some of the entries in the Arquivo Regional da Madeira's database used in the traditional sense of father/son? Some of the dates posted don't seem to correlate with this theory. Another question - after some entries there's an asterisk next to the name. What does this mean? I don't see a key to indicate this. Thanks, Janette Vancouver, Canada Researching Mendonca & Gois
