In fact, my cousin, Jose Tavares still lives there and owns the restaurant, Balloa. He may list his name now as Jose Borges Tavares. One female Borges did marry a Pimental who still resides there as well. One Pimental was Chief of Police and I think his son maybe a Judge or was a Judge. That Tavares came down from Joao de Fontes Tavares, but not from Ribeira Grande. I'm related on the Borges side. I did find out though that I have Jose Tavares Torrado Rodrigues Ferreira b. abt. 1740's m. *Mariana Francisca Borges 1767 so that Borges side does have Tavares as well but dropped the Tavares in the 1800's which brought down my gggrandfather Francisco Borges Giesta b. abt. 1812. My ggrandfather Manuel Borges Giesta was born abt. 1856 m. 1879 in Ribeira Grande. Manuel Rodrigues b. abt. 1688 m. Maria Francisca; child- Nicolao Franisco Rodrigues Manuel Borges m. Antonia Tavares; children Teresa Borges m. Nicolao and Bernarda Borges m. Manuel Vieira from Sao Pedro, Ribeira Seca. Teresa and Nicolao's child is *Mariana Francisca Borges This is all on my mother's paternal side. My mother had dropped Giesta so that's why I have Borges in my legal name and Furtado as my maiden. I have on my father's maternal side; Manuel Rodrigues b. abt. 1715 m. Barbara Tavares; children-Antonio de Sousa Tavares m. Vitoria do Sacramento Rego Carvalho in 1766 in Ribeira Grande. They were brought down by female; my ggrandparents with the de Sousa name who married a de Sousa so my Grandmother was Maria de Resurreicao de Sousa m. Antonio Morgado Furtado. I don't know why Rodrigues was dropped and didn't have any more info on Tavares. Most from Ribeira Grande, NS da Conceicao some from NS da Estrella. I hope this helps Charlotte, too.

I will take a look and see if I can find the marriage. I looked at the marriages in Santisssimo Salvador (Ribeirinha) and it is not there. If I can find it, the record will provide much information. I am not sure when I can make it to the FHC and take a look as I have to work today. I will get back to you. In the Ribeira Grande area during the time period there were three or four Pimentel families one of the three came from Achada and is the one I descend from. The others had lived in the Ribeira Grande area for a good many years.

He was naturalized in 1900. I have no baptismal records. I would appreciate any info you have. We know we have some family in New England on my grandmother's side but have no idea of any other family. It is so sad to think that once they came to Hawaii the link to the Azores and any family was lost.

I have the films for both NS Estrela and Santissimo Salvador at my local FHC and have accumulated much information on the marriages in both Parishes. You have the parents of Jose Tavares Ferreira and his birth date does that mean you have his Baptismal record from Ribeira Grande (I assume NS Estrela) that would give the grand parents of Jose Tavares Ferreira and Maria Augusta Pimentel. A quick look in my files and I find a Maria daughter of Jose Pimentel born 8 Apr 1848 in Ribeirinha. There is a good chance we may have a connection.

I have much information on my mother's family roots. Her grandparents were Jose Tavares Teves born on June 1, 1854 in Rabo de Peixe and her maternal grandmother was Rosa Augusta Ventura also from Rabo de Peixe. We can trace both of these families back to the 1600-1700 hundreds. However, I have very little information on my mother's fathers family. He was Joseph Tavares Ferreira and was born on Feb. 22 1879 in Riberia Grande and was the son of Jose Tavares Ferreira born in 1843 and Maria Augusta Pimental born about 1848. He arrived in Hawaii on Aug. 24, 1881. I would be very grateful if anyone has any info. on this side of the family.
