Hi Doug, I just checked my genealogy software and found my Pacheco line. I have Francisco Vieira Pacheco married to Anna Maria (both my 5th great grandfather/mother), they were parents of Roza Ignacia Vieira, who married Vicente Jacques de Oliveira (both my 4th great grandfather/mother).
I haven't research back on this line, maybe that's why I couldn't find my Gonçalves. Right now I have been doing research mainly on my mtDNA ancestry, but this doesn't mean I'm not interested on them, I just don't have enough time to research. So do we have a connection?
