Thanks, Cheri! >From what I have been able to find, Grandma is the mother of Maria do Esprito Santo and the mother-in-law of Caetano Moniz FURTADO. This would mean that Vovo' is Rosa de Jesus, the mother of Ermelinda CARREIRO (NUNES).
In the other book, I found a baptism record of the following: March 3, 1902 - Evangelina Moniz FURTADO, daughter of Caetano M. FURTADO and Maria do Espirito Santo, both of Arrifes, St. Michael, Azores. Godparents were Jose Carreiro de Medeiros e Ermelinda de Jesus. I'm wondering if this Ermelinda de Jesus is the same as Ermelinda CARREIRO (NUNES), daughter of Rosa de Jesus? Could Jose Carreiro de Medeiros be her brother given that Ermelinda's father had died by 1901? (The passenger list of the Dona Maria, dated 1901, listed Rosa de Jesus as a widow. Ermelinda married Manoel NUNES in 1904.) Pat McCoy ================================================================== On 1/6/12, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > Avó is more like grandmother.
