I knew you historians would come through!
Now that you mention it...there were several email exchanges between
Shirley, Richard Matera, John Roias, and I don't know who else from the Ponta
Garca research group. They were about the Count of Benaventes. Hey Shirley
(Allegre), am I related to this count?
John, I do remember when I met you a few years ago that you helped
translate a page out of Rodrigo Rodrigues. The man had the alcunha of "O
Congro" and the children of the wife (or cousins of the wife?) were contesting
the will because she was mentally ill or something like that. I'm blanking on
her name. I don't know that they were royal, but perhaps rather well-to-do. I
have your whole translation here, but I gotta run as we have a festa up north.
Dear Cheri:
Enjoy the "festa"! If you descend from Gaspar Manuel, married to Clara
Afonso, as I seem to recall, then, according to many Micaelense
historians/genealogists, you can trace your genealogy back to D. Dinis (son of
Afonso III) and his wife Isabel of Aragon (known to the rest of the world as
St. Elizabeth of Portugal, or the "Rainha Santa Isabel.")
1 - João Afonso, das Grotas Fundas, married Isabel Gonçalves.
2 - João Afonso, o Velho, of Faial da Terra, was married before 1511 to
Catarina Manuel,
3 - Gaspar Manuel, de Vila Franca, married Clara Afonso.
4 - Gaspar Manuel de Pimentel, married Ana Jácome Raposo,
5 - Ana Jácome Raposo, married Bartolomeu
6 - Ana Jácome Raposo, married António Correia Leitão
7 - Domingos Raposo Correia, married Maria de Paiva,
8 - Susana Rebelo Pimentel, married João do Rego,
9 - Cipriano do Rego, married Antónia Barbosa,
