Below is what I have. Maria Moniz may also be Maria Nunes, although I have
her as Nunes, and this explains why I was never able to link them. I
have Moniz or Nunes with a question mark. I recall altering this name a few
years ago and deciding on Nunes. This is another case that shows many
people went to work in Furnas which came under the jurisdiction of Maia.
Early Achadinha and Ponta Garca also have many pre-1700 links, but
unfortunately the records are missing or do not exist.
