Marcio, My paternal grandparents were from Candelaria, Pico. The NEPS site has them back to the 8th generation. I have a Gasper Garcia Sarmento married to Madalena Rodrigues...no dates of birth or marriage given but, birth of first child 26 May, 1670 and giving me a grandfather, Francisco Garcia Sarmento born Aug. 4, 1683. Also have Mateus Sousa and Agueda Rodrigues giving birth to 1st child in 1638. Mateus Luis and Leonor Rodrigues having 1st child Nov.15, 1657. Francisco Ferreira and Maria Rodrigues having 1st child in1685. Amaro Pereira and Isabel Dutra with 1st child, Pascoa born March 30, 1689. Finally, I have a multi greatgrandmother, Monica Sousa born Sept. 28 1653. These are all in Candelaria according to NEPS.....have not verified using CCA records but assume that's where NEPS acquired the info.
