Hi Doug, First of all, I have to thank Cheri Mello. She found the baptism record for my ggrandfather Francisco Furtado [de Sousa] in Livramento. She opened up the doors for me! For my luck, the grandfather of my Francisco Furtado, José Furtado from Vila Franca do Campo, married in São Roque, was also an ancestor of George Pacheco. He handed to me on a platter all the researches he had done about him! And then, many friends had helped me out with my researches along all these years. I am very grateful for all that.
