Jesse,
I also have been trying to track my ancestral... as you can see my last name is Neves and I am not sure if Neves and Neaves are the same families. In my research I found that there are some Neves in Suffolk and Sussex, England dated from 1563 (Agnes Neves, born Abt. 1563 in Lavenham, Suffolk, England; died 08 October 1645 in Lavenham, Suffolk, England). I also found Neves in Portugal dated from 1585 (Esther Nevesb: Abt. 1585 in probably in Lisbon, Portugald: 1661 in Ouderkerk Cemetery,Amsterdam, Netherlandsborn of Portuguese parents). Another interesting information I found is that the majority of Neves that migrate to USA and Brazil came from Madeira Island, They came in three distinct time-frame waves: 1800-1870, 1870-1920, and 1957 to the present. In that first wave and overlapping into the second for the years 1820 to 1872.
After reading all the messages in this forum I came up with the theory that if the Neaves surname is suppose to be sept of the Murray Clan from Scotland this was between century fifth and seventh, when Successive waves of Germanic tribes from the region of Bavaria - Mans, Vandals, and Suevi - then invaded the Roman lands of northern Portugal, gradually integrated with the native Lusitanians and formed a kingdom, with Braga as the capital. Today there can be seen traces of Suevian culture in the northern coastal regions of Portugal. Then the Visigoths, another Germanic tribe, overcame the Suevi, taking over the entire peninsula during the seventh century. Maybe my theory is completely wrong and Neaves and Neves are not the same families. Now I am trying to study the migration of the Neves from England to Portugal.
Just curiosity Neves in Portuguese means "snow".
To all: please make comments regarding my theory.
