Lisa, I have Cabral, Botelho, and deCosta in my ancestry from Sao Miguel. I looked up Joao Raposa in "Portuguese Immigrants to Hawaii". Found 5 Joao Raposo's and 5 Joao Rapozo's. Are you able to give me his wife's name, then I can narrow it down. Iris

I am interested in learning more about this line of ancestry, the Raposo. Was there a different way that your ancestors spelled that last name? my paternal Grandmother's Grandfather was Joao Rapoza, but I found that somewhere along the way the spelling has been changed to Raposo, Raposa, Repoza, Repozo, Reposa. I know that my Ggg grandfather, Joao, immigrated to Hawaii from the Azores. Any information on the Raposo last name would be appreciated. In this particular ancestrial lineage I have the following surnames: Arruda, Cabral, Costa, DeCosta,DeLima,Pereira,Botelho,Crua,Andrade,Carvalho,Dos Rosario,Mederios, etc. Any help on researching this line would be much appreciated. Thank you, Lisa L From: [email protected] To: [email protected] My dear friend and possibly cousin (never made the connection), Elizabeth McDonald had sent me a couple of years ago her family time line. I'm not sure if she is on this group any longer, but she goes back to Jose Raposo m. Francisca Ignacia Pereira (daughter of Jose-Jacintho Pereira and Maria Augusta) from Maia, Sao Miguel abt. 1847. Two children brought down 17 grandchildren. Son, Joao Raposo-Pereira m. Francisca-Julia da Ponte Ramalho and daughter, Rosa-Ignacia da Conceicao m. Manoel Raposo- Pereira (kept it in the family). Maybe there is a connection coming down to those Raposo's. Linda Borges (Furtado) Furtado Marcos and John, I came across a Thome Rapozo "marriage" date 11-July-1736. The record says he is a widower of Maria do Nascimento and that he's marrying Victoria de Mello. I'm attaching the jpg for you to take a look. -- -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
