Hi Lynn, I still think we are connected somehow but I can't figure out how. My was Anna Isabel de Serpa and her father was Jose Caetano da Fonte from Faial. One of Ana's siblings is Rosa Guilhermina Freitas born in 1837 in Faial. Also I believe my family was living in MA US with the Silvas if your remember ? Jacklyn
