Did you know that there are only seven surnames used?
It's GLASS - from William Glass
SWAIN - from Thomas Swain
GREEN - from Peter Green
ROGERS - from Thomas Rogers
HAGAN - from Andrew Hagan
REPETTO - from Andrea Repetto
and LAVARELLO - from Gaetano Lavarello
Therefore, they rather using their name to surname ;-)
I also heard that in 1826 one lady married a Scotch guy with a surname Patterson, but I can't find any confirmation this surname is still used on the Island.
For the last two days, when Nilton and I showed this blog to others, there were over 100 entries! Thank you guys! You are amaizing! Please, be with us all the time!
