Hi Vivian,
Nice to hear from you.
It's very interesting that his family also converted Homem to Holmes. I think I once saw in a book (maybe by Carlos Almeida) that Homem was converted to Holmes and I wondered who else, if anyone, had done it aside from my family from Terceira.
The story is that my grandfather's younger brother, Jacinto, came to the US first and started this conversion. When my grandfather came with the rest of his siblings and his mother, he didn't quite like it, but eventually went along with the change.
The rest, as they say, is history. :-)

Hello Doug and Nancy,Frank Patrick Holmes is my cousin and I do all the genealogy for our family. So I will check out his matches. The thing is I do not know where his great grandfather who is also Frank Peter Holmes (Homen) was born or died except that it was the Sao Jorge Island. That is the brick wall in our genealogy. When I check out the matches and your tree I will see if we have any that could be relatives. I wish I would have been able to get the copy of the Marriage record from the church in Hanford where my Grandmother Marie G. Holmes and grandfather Manuel Joseph were married. But I probably will have to go there my self to see if I can get the record. So I have not found the town yet. Thank you.

Or does he have English ancestry?Doug da Rocha Holmes

With Frank Patrick Holmes 49.55 and 31.64...ftdna predicts 3rd cousin. We share many of the same names on Pico.
