Hello cousins. Manoel, I see how we're connected. The Camelo Pereira line is interesting. This makes us probably 11th cousins, or something like that. My most recent Pereiras lived in Sao Roque (Rosto de Cao).
Eliseu, I look forward to seeing your report. No rush. Hermano, Pedro Esteves Rocha e Machado (or Machado da Rocha--I've seen it spelled both ways) is my 17th great-grandfather, as well. He sounds like a colorful and possibly dangerous character. Does this make us 18th cousins? We're already 3rd cousins, if I recall correctly, on the Frias line. I think our common ancestor on that side is Jose de Frias Bode. Dano and Henrietta, we're definitely cousins. This is great. We should all compare detailed reports. Do either of you have ancestors living in Sao Roque in the 19th century? Here in upstate New York we're expecting the storm, now a post-tropical cyclone, to bring heavy rain and winds. The people on the coast have it a lot worse. But things are tense right now, and these genealogical discoveries are a good diversion..
