Maria,
It's probably just a coincidence, but there are many using the Moniz Machado surname combo on Pico.

I have an ancestor who is a mystery in that I've searched all Sao Miguel records and can't find him in the his birth year. His name was Domingo's Moniz Machado; nor his brother "Clem". Must be Clemente (?) Moniz Machado.
Their parents were Jacinto Machado and mother was Emilia Moniz Machado.
Thanks to this group for posting the link for the Portuguese newspapers housed at the Dartmouth library. I stumbled on their sister, Maria M "Marshall" sister of Clemente Machado. I knew they had a sister but had no idea how to find her until I could find the parents. It was exciting to actually find her.
For years I've been searching for the 2 brothers to take the line back. I think this is a dead end but I'm not giving up. Every time a new parish was posted on the CCA, I thought Aha! This is going to be the one. But sadly it was not. Now I'm going to go through each parish again to the years before and after their supposed birth years.
Are there any other records from Sao Miguel that are not on the CCA? Any ideas where I might find where in Sao Miguel they were from? All his document just say Sao Miguel. Domingo's birthdate is 8 February 1874; Clemente born 9 Feb 1869 and I only have the death date of the sister, Maria M Marshall who died 8 August 1954. All three died in Boston.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Maria Elena
