Cheri/Doug, I do see the migratory nature that you mentioned, Cheri. Many of my lines start somewhere else before coming to Achada. And, there seems to be quite a bit of marrying between villages on my lines.
The frustrating thing is my Mello's appear to have stayed in Achada, at least up until 1882, when Anna Jacinta (de Mello) Pacheco picked up roots with her kids, boarded the SS Hansa, and headed for the Kilauea Sugar Plantation. I'm going to research further in the baptismal and death records to see if any other clues come up. I would like to know what happened to her siblings and her cousins on the de Mello, Correia, Furtado (a bunch of kids here), and other lines. They didn't marry in Achada as far as I can tell, so I'll have to figure out where they married. Or, maybe they never made it to adulthood. I'll have to work that out, too. Thanks!
