Joseph, I'm happy that we could provide you with at least one branch of your family tree (Jacome Raposo dating back to circa 1525). Antonio Jacome Raposo is Josefa's father, and, from there the puzzle was complete. I was in the process of printing the report when I happened to see that Shirley had already done so. It took a little while but we eventually all got on the same page (thanks to Margaret).
BTW, I also found Matheus' and Josefa's marriage - 19-Jul-1736 (PG) + the first four of the couple's children, also from PG - Jozeph -1737, Anna -1739, Anna-1742, Antonia-1746 and, of course, the nearly unreadable Nicolau (in 1751). Unfortunately, Joam wasn't among them in Ponta Garca. I will try Arcanjo Sao Miguel next. On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 9:52:34 PM UTC-4, Joseph Costa wrote: > Thanks Shirley.
