Linda, I subscribe to the notion that "nothing happens by accident." Too many times I have done something, been somewhere, made some choice and found out later that there was a reason I did not know at the time I made the choice. It just makes sense. We think we are in control of our lives and many times find out that notion is just a dream! I do believe if you go back far enough in the Azores, you will probably connect with someone whose family is connected to your family. That is certainly been my experience; especially with my maternal grandmother's ancestors.

Amazing how many of us in this group are related. Maybe we are all meant to be in this group for a reason to know that we are all related some how.

My maternal grandmother descends from Catarine Afonso and Goncalo Anes. Is this the same Catarine?

So I'm in the Country Club, too? How exciting! Thanks for all that information I couldn't have done it without you, John Raposo, JR, Rick, and Hermano. I wish I could have done the research myself, but I don't have the time to get to all the resources as you all have done. Maybe when I retire I can really concentrate on putting everything in order.

Waiting to hear from JR. I'm related to Manoel Cesar and Hermano Pires. I'm related to Rick Pimental, too, but he is saying not on that side.
