Hi Christine Most of my family are from the Island of Terceira. The story that was told to me was my G-grandfather family moved to and from Terceira to Brazil for work, he and maybe one other brother or sister was born in Brazil. I was told my G-grandfather Antonio Machado Evangelho was born in Brazil and moved back to Terceira at the age of 2 years old, he grew up in the village of Ribeirinha,Terceira, he left the village at the age of about 18 to 20 years old and move to the USA, and lived and moved around in the State of CA and died in Santa Cruz, CA. his wife, my G-grandmother was also from the village of Ribeirinha and moved to the USA at the age of 17 and married my G-grandfather. Now for the name of Evangelho yes it could have been change as it was changed a few times in the USA. When he came to America he was listed as Antonio Machado Evangecho and when he was in the states he had to register for the Army for WW1 and it was put down as Antonio Machado Evanglieo and when he got his worked her and got his SS# he was listed rest of his life as Evangelo, I did find a brother that come to this country too and he was listed as Jose Machado Evangelho and there are many Evangelho in CA area. Also I am not that I know of related to the Pico Macedos. But as someone once stated either on this site or another one that we are all related some how or another if we came from the Islands.
