Hi Marie,
I am certain we connect that way, but the records don's allow us to know just how.
It is a little surprising just how numerous these Valim branches are. There are so many of them in the Piedade area.
Mine are Gonçalves Valim. Yours are Rodrigues Valim, if I recall. I think Sandra's are Pereira Valim and they are from Ribeirinha, which used to be part of Piedade. I am going by memory, so I might be off a little with the name combinations.
I also have Valim from Santo Amaro, next door to Ribeirinha. Calheta de Nesquim has many Valim lines, as does Lajes do Pico. Many appear in Ribeiras, too. And they are found in most of the other villages, though usually coming from the east end of Pico.
Did you get that long analysis of our DNA match I sent a couple weeks back?
Happy New Year!

Doug,I am also related to the Valim's. I am fifth cousin to Sandra Kay Valen, daughter of Clarence Vieira Valim of Tulare, and son of Manuel Vieira Valim, born in Lajes, Pico in 1879 and Carolina Alves Vieira, born in 1893 in Lajes, Pico. Are these the same Valim's in your line or is this a different line?Marie PleasantIn a message dated 12/27/2013 2:31:27 P.M.

And I am pretty sure of the same for people in Terceira.Off the top of my head, I think I am related to any of the people named Valim who settled in Viamao. They came from Pico, Piedade to be specific.
