Ola, Ricardo, You said the magic words [Mello/Santa Maria]. My Mello links, however, are from Sao Pedro, and date back before much of the written records that still exist. I was hoping to find some type of historic account that covers at least the link-up period [1687]. My [Mellos] originally settled in Povoacao before 1700, and relocated to Ponta Garca a short time later. Let me know if you care to share notes.
