Can anyone enlighten me on the name "Ribeiro de Moura" because my wife name is "Ribeiro de Moura"and so was her sister and brother. The name "Ribeiro de Moura" was so important that her mother always signed school papers Augusta Ribeiro de Moura. Both the father and mother were from Jewish background because her father stated that he lost his birthright when he became a Protestant. Her mother was very superstitious but not the usual Brasilian superstitious but we have discovered long after her mother had died that the superstitions are all Jewish origins. She never knew her grandparents. Would like to make some connections to make sure the children know and can be proud of the background on that side of the family. Should I be looking for the name Ribeiro or Moura. Northeast Brasil is the territory (Recife, Joa Pessoa, Fortaleza). Believe family left Spain to Portugal and then Brasil. HELP Fathers first name was Euclydes... Thanks
