Hi Jorge, Thank you for taking the time to write me to let me know of our ancestral connection. I just sat down to look at your msg and am happy to get this info.
My mother told me stories about having relatives in Brazil somewhere. She mentioned that her mother (Maria Do Carmelo Borges Pires) used to write to Raymunda and was invited to come live with them but Maria had declined for whatever reason. In the meantime they stopped writing and lost touch. My mother Maria Manuela Borges Pires Martins is now in her early 70's and is doing well. Still remembers many things from way back when. Where are you located? Are u in Rio? Are you in touch with other family from the original descendants of the 6 children? My family settled in Cambridge Ontario Canada. My grandmother Maria lived with us for a long time before she passed away so I remember her well. Do you have any baptismal records for Manuel Borges Pires or his wife Maria Jose Da Silva? I cant seem to find them. Also were they both born in Ilha da Madeira, Portugal? My mom doesn't think that was correct...but doesn't know for sure. I look forward to hearing from you. Adrian Martins.
