*John, I think I've got the family you're referring to. I have Matheus da Costa married to Josefa Francisca Pacheco (only have the year 1736 for their marriage, but we can check back to the original posting for that date); I don't have Matheus' parents, but, Josefa's a "charm," linking back hundreds of years. Her parents were Antonio Jacome Raposo of Nordeste who married Maria Pacheco Moniz in Arcanjo Sao Miguel (VFdC) on 22-Jul-1712. The family links back to Capitao Jorge Correia Barbosa/Maria Vieira de Albernaz, AND, even further back on the Jacome Raposo link to Joao Jacome Raposo/ Francisca Roiz Cordeiro (abt 1525). They may go back further, but, that's as far as I have. What's more, all of the surnames that have been mentioned in this thread are For REAL!!!* On Monday, March 24, 2014 3:00:03 PM UTC-4, JR wrote: 1736 > > > By the way, I think I may have found another child for Matheus da Costa in > PG.
