Hi Sam,
I am the family finder match with your cousin Al Rose. All of my people came from Sao Miguel in particular Bretanha, and Rebeira Grande. I do have some Silva's in my line. I have a Joao da Silva who with Maria Espirito Santo had a daughter Rita Espirito Santo in 1812 in Ribeira Grande Rita would be my 3rd Great grandmother. My 2nd great grandmother Maria Julia Silva was the daughter of Manuel Silva Tavares and Rosa Jacinta who were married in Santissimo Salvador in 1862. I am keeping my eye out for a connection.

I'm wondering if any list members are working on or have this line in their history. Francisco Jose Silveira b. unknown, m. 22 Jan 1814 in Flores to Maria de Joaquina da Trindade, b. unknown Ana Emilia Silva was the ggrandmother of both Al and I and we have been searching for years for her birthplace and ancestors. We knew from her marriage record that her parents names were: Francisco J. and Maria but; other than when she immigrated and who she married, that was about the extent of our knowledge on her line. Cousin Al did the Family Finder test at FTdna and there was a connection shown between him and another fellow. In researching their ancestors, the Silveira line surfaced and although we have always know our ggrandmother by the name of Ana Emilia Silva as opposed to Silveira we now strongly suspect that the Francisco and Maria above may be our gggrandparents. If anyone has any info. on this couple, it would be greatly appreciated if you would share with us. Thanks in advance, Sam in CA -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
