My Grandfather's name was Francisco Vieira Mello (deMello), born in Lajes do Pico, Azores, Portugal. There is some reason to believe that his father's name was also Francisco Vieira Mello (deMello). The birthdate for my Grandfather is 3/18/1859. He married Catherine (Catarina) d'conceicao Xavier. The birthplace I have for her is Silveira do Pico, Azores, Portugal, birthdate 10/26/1860). I do have some information on her.
Spent a beautiful 2 weeks in the Azores in 2004. Never found any relatives but I am sure I may have sat next to one or two of them without knowing it.
