I have a friend in Brazil, João Francisco, who is doing his genealogy and now searching for possible connections with our Azores group as his ancestors are from São Miguel and São Jorge islands. He doesn’t speak English and I’m helping him with this email and future ones, if any.
His great grandfather, André de Viveiros Machado, immigrated to the south of Brazil with wife, Margarida de Souza Viveiros and six children Maria, Lydia, Nancy, Eugênio, Stelvio e Ivêa. He was from Fajã de Baixo and his wife and children from Matriz, Ponta Delgada. André was born in 10 Apr 1851, he was a son of José de Viveiros e Anna de Jesus. Grandson on father’s side of Antonio José de Viveiros e Antonia de Jesus, all from Nossa Senhora dos Anjos Parish. On mother’s side, grandson of José Joaquim Machado from Santa Catharina da Vila da Calheta, of São Jorge Island and Umbelina d’Anunciada from São Pedro da Vila Franca do Campo Link for André baptism, on the left side: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-FAJADEBAIXO-B-1845-1858/SMG-PD-FAJADEBAIXO-B-1845-1858_item1/P107.html Margarida, wife of André, was the daughter of João Ferreira de Souza and Maria Thomazia de Souza. No other information found yet. He also told me his aunt, Margarida de Viveiros Leiria, was used to correspond with a cousin in US. Some family members thinks the cousin’s name can be Grace other’s Virginia. Just a clue.
