*Hi Cousin Gary, * *Some years ago, I did extensive research on the Pimentel family from Fajazinha Flores and established that Dr David Pimentel and I were 4th cousins. That would make you and I forth cousins. There were several Pimentels in the Fresno area where I grew up but I wasn't quite clear which were siblings and which were first cousins but they all used to call my mother (who was also from Fajazinha) "prima". It wasn't until years later that I worked out the connection. Was one of your father's brothers Fernando who had a vineyard out on Elm Ave near Manning Ave? * *Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of packing because we're leaving early tomorrow morning on a 2+ week trip. But I'll get back to you when we get back. Do you still live in the Fresno area? My sister and her family (+ various cousins) still live there but I now live in the Pasadena area. I do plan to be in the Fresno area on Aug 24 for the 75th birthday of a 1st cousin (who is also related to you). * *Regards, * *John Vasconcelos*
