Hi JR, On the Marriage record of Antonio Pacheco to Andrea de Jesus it gives his parish as Sao Pedro Nordestinho. With a spouse having the name Andrea it is so much easier to spot instead of Maria. This marriage record is from NS Estrella book 11 page 82L on 8 Apr 1790 it gives Antonio's parents as Manuel Pacheco and Perpetua de Medeiros.
The people that used the name Pacheco Bernardo descended from Bernardo Pacheco. Some used the name Pacheco Bernardo and others used the name Bernardo Pacheco and some used just Pacheco. These are from the parish NS Estrella.

There are others but noone has been able to link them yet. Some Ponta Delgada, Ribeira Grande and Ponta Garca, Vila Franca. By the way, why can't Antonio Bernardo sometimes use Antonio Brandao or Antonio Pacheco? Be sure to verify before discounting that these may be one and the same people.
