Linda, this is what I received from George Pacheco when I was beginning to look into this line. 3/2009 from Geo. Pacheco: Diogo Goncalves de Travassos was close to the infante Dom Pedro, Regent of the Kingdom, as well as his scribe of purity and also the godfather of Dom Pedro's two sons. He also counseled King Afonos V. He was buried at the door of the Chapel of the monastery at Batalho of Dom Joao I of the Good lMemory (Boa Memoria). With the letter D. on his grave which was his name Diogo. Of which was ordered by the King, for his being a privated person as he became very ill that the said king came to visit him at home, the King in person, was a man of large stature, of a good disposition, gentleman, very valiant and strong in all these great qualities served the king in the wars against Castille in his orders were the Infant D. Pedro in the taking of Ceuta, in where he was formed Cavallier by the said Infant, in which he was favored from the beginning. Knighted in Ceuta, 1415 Written on his tomb in Batalha: "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Amen. In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ, one thousand, four hundred...there was buried beneath this great stone, the body of Diogo Gonsalves Travassos, a knight and servant of the great King D. Joao of the highest and shining and enduring memory, whose soul eternally reigns with the Holy Trinity, and of the Council of the most powerful Lord, King Afonso V, and of the Council of the most magnificent and grand Lord, of laudatory prudence, the Prince D. Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, overseer of the lands of the said Lord, and tutor of the children of the most excellent prince, the Lord D. Pedro of Aragon, Constable of Kingdom of Portugal, and of the illustrious Lords D. Jaime and D. Joao, his brothers."
3/2009 from Geo. Pacheco: Nuno was one of Diogo's sons. NUNO VELHO CABRAL went to the Azore Islands with his uncle, Goncalho Velho and his brother, Pedro.

It's so unbelievable how life is, isn't it? Do you all know, the ones in this club that is, what happened before 1400 how the Cabral/Travassos's ended up in the Azores?

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.
