Hello researchers, its been a while and now I would like to UPDATE some information related to my first post here. Other priorities came over my family roots research. Anyway, there were some developments since last time here and to the ones that repplied saying we could be connected, I feel its important to update. Although very slowly, I have been working on my lineage into several directions and found out that for the RESENDES I lost over a year looking in the wrong place. (I now know what John meant, the hard way) If anyone in the list may be connected to me here is where I am currently, and up to 1870 for most of them. I have reached 1790 into a possible connection for ROCHA but "ohh boy" its another kind of reading!!! Still needs confirmation!
Paternal line CHAVES - Santo Espirito, Santa Maria (straight line) ROCHA - Santo Antonio Alem Capelas - Sao Miguel RESENDES - Santo Antonio Alem Capelas, but I may end on Santa Maria, prior 1850 more or less, as I found these RESENDES came from there. Maternal line DA PONTE - Mae de Deus, Povoacao (straigth line) FREITAS - Feteiras de Sao Pedro, Santa Maria Both lines CABRAL - Santo Espirito and Sao Pedro, Santa Maria, I haven't spent much time is this name yet, it is connected to me to both Paternal and Maternal side, where from Paternal is where I have more information, which leads me to a place called LOURAL in Santo Espirito, Santa Maria. Still with a lot of work to do and to learn, I now have tracked these lines and know where to go and how, much better then when I introduced myself to the group. Good luck to all.
