JR, This is the very first ancestor I've found who is from Ponta Garca, Isabel de Melo. Link to her birth is below. All the others I've been researching recently are from Santa Maria then they started moving to Sao Miguel. This is my husband's paternal line top of the pedigree chart. Maybe you're related?
Here is the link for the baptism of Isabel de Melo. >> http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-VF-PONTAGARCA-B-1703-1720/SMG-VF-PONTAGARCA-B-1703-1720_item1/P118.html >> Isabel de Melo married Jose de Freitas 22 November 1739. They had one child and he died in 27 December 1742 at age 40. She then married Antonio Carvalho 4 February 1743. I found it strange that she married within 37 days of her husband's death.
