SiegeGunner Posted 11 July , 2007 Share Posted 11 July , 2007 I am currently having some building work done by a contractor by the name of Geoghagan and was surprised to find that there is only one man with that comparatively frequently-occurring Irish surname on the CWGC database for WW1 (and he was in the South African Medical Corps) and none at all for WW2.

knittinganddeath Posted 25 September , 2021 Share Posted 25 September , 2021 On 08/07/2007 at 13:19, alliekiwi said: Paiva is actually a Portuguese and Italian name. Unless it's coincidence that there is an Indian name with the same spelling as the Portuguese/Italian one? Bit of a late reply, but nonetheless: that part of India (Kerala) was colonized by the Portuguese. Goa, which is further up the coast, was held by Portugal until the 1960s. Lots of people in that area have Portuguese surnames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
