about
My name is of Portuguese origin, and I acquired it through the Portugueses' long stay in Goa. "Olavo" is the Portuguese variant of the Scandinavian name shared by saints, and sinners.
The surname "Andrade" is discussed at the Genealogy.com website. My thanks to Mike of The Coat of Arms store for permission to reproduce the image shown at left.
I was born in the British colony of Uganda, and moved to Canada at a young age. Some time after graduating from college, I moved to America.
