Jeanetta, I wish there was a connection. I haven't found anyone with a connection yet. My Machados are from Faial. Maria Machado (1875-1942) married Manuel Medeiros (1875-1959). Maria and 3 children arrived in Boston in 1906 and traveled by train to Contra Costa County, California to meet Manuel who had come a few years prior and established their ranch.

Mine were born in altres, terceira, azores in 1881-84. Their names were Joaquin Vieira Machado and Marie Isabel Pinheiro. They married in Dec of 1901 and immigrated in July of 1902. They went first to Lowell (Stanton) Massachusettes where my grandmother Marie was born in 1903. I have found no record of her birth. They had several children who died shortly after birth. They moved to California and settled in Tulare, CA. He was a cattle buying and I believe that he had a brother, Arthur, who was a meat cutter?. They had 7 other children Wilhemina, Joaquin (Jack) Jr, Amelia, John, Zora, Virginia. Does any of this ring a bell with you?

I knew that many people in the village probably knew who the father was, but it never dawned on me that the priest heard it in confession. Thanks for sharing. Boy, if only they had not been bound by the seal of the confessional...so many genealogical dead ends would have been solved! Happy Easter!
