Hello Cousin Lee,
Merry Christmas.
This Neil Teixeira in California. Its a small world. Your
Felicidade Conc Teixeira is the sister of my Jose Teixeira b. 18 Oct, 1880
in Ague Retorta. This 1880 Jose Teixeira immigrated to and stayed in
California and worked as a ship painter.
I've been working on our Teixeira line-forever-till the records ran out.
The paternal male line tree.....travels something like this: Bernardo
Teixeira Nogueira & Victoria Maria in Agua Retorta, then Jose Teixeira
Nogueira b 1766 & Benedita Jesus Pimental in Nordestinho....Antonio
Teixeira Pimental b. 1722 & Quiteria Borges in Nordeste.....Manuel Teixeira
Nogueira b 1682 & Anna Pimental in Nordeste....Manual Nogueira b 1655 &
Anna Correa (Carrero) in Nordeste....Manual Alves Nogueira & Anna Teixeira
in Nordeste....Belchior Alves Nogueira & Maria Correia in Nordeste.
The vital records then run out and are very hard to read. I've only
found bits a pieces (in Nordeste) of the Nogueira and Teixeira lines. I
believe (cannot prove it) on the Nogueira line we are connected to a Tome
Nogueira & Catharina Aveiro Luis Fonseca. And on the Teixeira line....to
Manuel Vas Fazenda & Ines Viegas....then to Joam Vas Teixeira...all of
Nordeste......then (hopefully) to Tristao Vas Teixeira of Maderia Island.
This is as far as I have gotten, I just cannot find the key document to tie
us to either Madeira Island or the mainland.
I hope this sheds some light on our trail.
Happy New Year to everyone.
Neil T.
