Hi Gordon We've talked before sometime ago. I think that you went on vacation or something and I didn't hear from you for quite awhile. I have a hard time getting to all of my e-mails because I do receive a lot and my time is limited due to running a small business here in San Diego. Anyway, here is the information that you asked about. MANUEL MACHADO HOMEN (b. 1745 in Lajes, Pico) was a sibling of MARIA RITA (b. 1742 in Lajes, Pico). They were the children of ANTONIO MACHADO HOMEM (d. 1787 in Lajes, Pico) and MARIA ROSARIO (d. 1791 in Lajes, Pico). Here is the line of MANUEL MACHADO HOMEM..... MANUEL MACHADO HOMEM (b. 1745, brother of MARIA RITA) married AGUEDA FRANCISCA SILVEIRA. Their son was MANUEL MACHADO HOMEN (b. 1778, Lajes, Pico). MANUEL MACHADO HOMEN (b. 1778) married ANA JOAQUINA JACINTA FRANCISCA (b. 1815, Lajes, Pico. This union produced a daughter by the name of MARIA JACINTO ALMEIDA. MARIA JACINTO ALMEIDA and ? incognito produced a daughter, MARCELINA GASPAR SILVEIRA SOARES. *I know that this is your line. Here is the line of MARIA RITA (b. 1742, Laje, Pico; sister of MANUEL MACHADO HOMEM) MARIA RITA (b. 1742) married VICENTE ROSA. They had a daughter by the name of MARIA RITA JOSEFA (b. 1773 in Lajes, Pico). MARIA RITA JOSEFA (b. 1773) married FRANCISCO MACHADO MEDEIROS in 1790 in Lajes, Pico. This union produced a son named ANTONIO MACHADO ALVES (b. 1793 in Lajes, Pico). ANTONIO MACHADO ALVES (b. 1793) married MARIA FRANCISCA JESUS (b. 1789, Lajes, Pico). From this union came FRANCISCO MACHADO SOARES (b. 1819 in Lajes, Pico; my paternal grandfather's grandfather). FRANCISCO MACHADO SOARES (b. 1819, Lajes, Pico) married MARIA JOAQUINA CONCEICAO (b. 1820, Lajes, Pico). From this marriage came a son named JOSE MACHADO (b. 1855 in Lajes, Pico). JOSE MACHADO (b. 1855) married MARIANA ROSA AVILA (note: she is listed as AVILA on the Minho site but actually the AVILA surname was her second husband's name. She was the daughter of JOSE MACEDO EVANGELHO PORTUGAL and MARIA ROSA ROSARIO). From this union was born one child, JOSE (b. 1881 in Lajes, Pico). His name was JOSE MACHADO SOARES, my grandfather. I so hope that this explains how the lines are connected. Any questions? If so, I'll try and answer them. Marie Pleasant, San Diego, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
