your story is the same one my grandmother told me but i did not know if was true or not. if it is there should be some grants on flores but i haven't come across the name in other trees. i need help to discover the sick sailor. time period maybe the 1600's. the family story is that the ship sunk after he was put off the ship, either spanish armada or big storm, not sure which. any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. thank you, kathleen grant allen On Apr 2, 2012, at 9:08 AM, John Vasconcelos wrote:
