I have de Andrade, but still researching. My maternal ggrandfather Manuel de Andrade de Almeida Rodrigues from Sao Roque, Sao Miguel (1850's). His daughter, my grandmother, Maria do Espirito Santo always went by de Andrade and has listed Arrifes, Concelho of Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel as her residence. They resided though in Ribeira Grande, Sao Miguel.

I was wondering if anyone here also has the Castelo surname in their Azorean trees? I have traced mine to a Francisco da Costa Castelo (1737-1793) who married Joanna Andrade. They were from Rosario, Lagoa, Sao Miguel. I believe that Castelo was Francisco's alcunha, and that it was then passed down. I am looking for anyone else who has this name in their tree. I haven't been able to find the casamento for Francisco's parents, Antonio da Costa and Maria Fernandes, so I don't know if it came from a grandparent or not. Has this name appeared anywhere else? This was one of the first families I researched, and as a result I feel compelled to follow the origin of the name. : ) -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
