Hi Doug and Isabella,
I have an ancestor, Manuel Ferrraz, from Angra, Terceira, in the mid 1600s. He was son of Manuel Ferraz, b. 23 nov 1604, Sé, Angra, Terceira, and Bárbara Fialho, b. Sé?, Angra?, married on 5 oct 1625, Sé, Angra. Paternal grandson of Gaspar Gonçalves and Isabel Nunes. Maternal grandson of João Luiz and Beatriz Tomé Manuel Ferraz married in Capelas, ilha de São Miguel, to Maria da Costa de Arruda on 5 jan 1667. This is a very interesting line; among the Maria’s ancestors five of them are on the book by RR: Nuno Gonçalves Homem (chapter 326) Pedro Vaz Marinheiro (chap. 76) Bartolomeu Rodrigues de Santa Clara (chap. 152) Simão de Viveiros (chap. 149) Gonçalo Vaz Botelho, o Grande (chap. 1) Manoel César Furtado Em quinta-feira, 29 de agosto de 2013 15h26min59s UTC-3, Doug da Rocha Holmes escreveu: > > Hi Isabella, > > Gonçalves is so common throughout every freguesia in every island, I am > surprised it hasn't appeared in your tree yet.
