Dear Ricardo, Yours is a wise and organized approach. My paternal grandmother's maternal line was from Ginetes, so I have done some extensive research of those families. My advise is always to verify any information since we all make mistakes. If I can answer any questions for you, I will be happy to do so as a courtesy. Verifying is a lot easier than researching.
I have no doubt that eventually you will get all the way back to the earliest Ginetes records. Best of luck, John On Saturday, February 8, 2014 3:31 PM, Ricardo Chaves <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, Tish M, First: I'm very happy to see active Santa Maria researchers in the group. Angela Loura is also from Santa Maria! I notice you're researching Santa Barbara, so am I, on FREITAS, my mother's side! Second: Overwhelmed with your good will, by sending me this record. Yes I have everything to believe Jose Antonio Carvalho is my Tetraavo's brother, I have this record, but I thank you very much anyway. Third: I asked Rick about Mello, because I saw Jose's grandparents in the book at the library, but in those days I didn't have that much experience and knowledge as today, result of many and many and many books I have seen and also a lot of information about my ancestors, through my family. My Dad is very skeptic about this hole "de Mello" story, lol! He is 65, and he doesn't like the Idea that we should be Mello, or Carvalho, and not Chaves LOL... But I am getting him around slowly! Richard, have we talked about Pimentel in the past? I believe we did. I have been trying to addict my wife into Genealogy lately, because I started her tree as well in the past, but mine has become so much time consumption that I put hers on standby. She has Pimentel from Achada - Nordeste. But lets leave that to another related thread! John thank you for your input. I haven't reached there yet, I wish I get there, but I'm a bit of "small step" of a time, I don't like to step ahead, I always check everything carefully and then when I am sure and have all the info in my database, then I move on! -- Ricardo Chaves -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
