Hi Margaret, That's a dificult name to read but the "M" doesn't look right to me to be Morgadinho......perhaps others can clarify it for you.....it almost looks like a "C".....but ???

Hello one and all, For a while now I have been tracing my Paternal/Maternal "Melo" line. My Dad always said his ggrandmother was from Agua Retorta and he was right I found them there but the record showed they were naturals of Nordeste which led me to Francisco de Melo, who now ends up being natural of Ribeira Grande and so the quest continues. His full name may be Francisco de Melo Ferras as indicated in one of his children's marriage records. Francisco married 2nd marriage with Antonia do Canto in Nordeste on 05-Jan-1703. Antonia is the daughter of Manuel Furtado Barroso and Guimar da Costa Morgadinho?? Is anyone connected to this line that could confirm Guimar's last name is in fact Morgadinho please, because the record breaks in the middle of it and I'm not certain if it is Morgadinho or if something else. Attached is a copy of Francisco de Melo marriage record to Antonia do Canto my 7ggparents for quick viewing. Thank you. -- Margaret M Vicente -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
