Repost for Emil Silveira: Hi Nancy Jean, Marcio and anyone interested,
I have made notes on some of your entries which pertain to my family file. If you would like to ask me anything more please contact me. Emil 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 born abt 1660 and Maria Rodrigues born abt 1660 having a child Ines in 1685. This appears to be my 7th great-grandparents born Nossa Senhora das Candeias, Candelaria, Pico, Azores Amaro Pereira and Isabel Dutra with 1st child, Pascoa born March 30, 1689. This is the parents of the wife ( Isabel Dutra) of my 6th great grand uncle Joao Melo of Candelaria, Pico, Azores. Finally, I have a multi greatgrandmother, Monica Sousa born Sept. 28 1653. She is my 7th great-grandmother and her husband Agostinho Barcelos is my 7th great-grandfather. These are all in Candelaria according to NEPS.....have not verified using CCA records but assume that's where NEPS acquired the info.
