Hi Isabella,
Gonçalves is so common throughout every freguesia in every island, I am surprised it hasn't appeared in your tree yet. I must have 50 ancestors named Gonçalves from every ancestral line.
You say somewhere on your website about an ancestor from Cabo da Praia and so I just looked at the tree for that ancestor and I find you do have Gonçalves. As I say, it would be surprising not to.
But maybe you didn't find your way back far enough and haven't yet reached your ancestor named Manuel Gonçalves who married Catarina. Find them through your Pacheco line.
And that same line has a very interesting connection to a family that is also mine and would make us very remotely related through the surname AIROSO.
My oldest AIROSO ancestor was born maybe about 1537. I have a guess that your Airoso link might be from about another generation back - maybe 1500.
So when you get back to that line, you can investigate that more.
Atenciosamente,

No, Doug, I don't have any ancestor Gonçalves, yet. I'm still working on my line from Vila da Praia da Vitória. I will let you know if I cross with any Gonçalves.Isabella
