Hello Carol, I have a Antonio Silveira Madruga from Ribeiras, Lajas, Pico. I only have his birth date 18 Jul 1824. He is in my direct line and had two sons that came to Northern California. They changed there names her and rumer has it that they came here because of a fight with there father. (Jerome Silveira Ávila & José Silveira Ávila who is my great grandfather) Not sure if there is any connection to your research or not.

I gathered from her e-mail back in November 2009 that she lives here in San Diego. I wanted to let her know that I am tracing the Madruga, Machado and Nunes lines. My Nunes line I have traced back to Madalena but there I hit a brick wall.
