Yea, I remember we wrote off to the registo civil for that record of your father, I think.
I'll look those people up for you. Shouldn't be difficult for someone so recent. I had no idea you have that line.
I have seen many a Pico or Terceira famly set up home in Sao Miguel, and of course, visa-versa.
I would not be surprised if this Rosa line connects to me...
Stay tuned for the answer. :-)

Hi DougI do have a line that originated in Terceira, a Joao de Rosa and Ana Joaquina of Se, Angra do Heroismo Terceira, who had a son named Antonio Jose "Terceira" Coelho who was born in Se Parish, but married Jacinta Rosa in NS da Conceicao, Ribeira Grande Sao Miguel on 8 July 1798. I don't have dates for Joao Rosa and Ana Joaquina and CCA has not posted any Ribeira Grande records so it's a bit challenging to do crosschecks and prove lines. I'm hoping to live long enough to actually see those records in the CCA site. LOLAntonio Jose "Terceira" Coelho ( is one of my 4th great grandfathers) and Jacinta Rosa had a daughter Luzia Candida who married Jose Jacinto Rego on 14 Jan 1839 in Ribeira Grande. You know how Portuguese people are notorious and unforgiving with use of nicknames, so coming from Terceira to Sao Miguel, he was likely given the nickname of "Terceira". Did the Rosa family move to Sao Miguel from Terceira?Interesting though that my grandfather moved to Angra in the 1930's from Sao Miguel. Was there a connection there, who knows?HerbOn 05/26/14, pico@dholmes.com wrote:Hi Herb,If your line is Ferraz, this might be a connection to Terceira.I think it was Manoel Furtado of Brasil who once mentioned a Ferraz ancestor showing up on Sao Miguel.Might not be this one, but could be. I think he'll see the message and comment on it.His line came from Se, Angra (the cathedral in downtown Angra) in the early 1600s, I believe.Doug da Rocha Holmes

To: azores@googlegroups.com--I'm trying to locate the parents of Joao da Costa Ferraz and Antonia Francisca of Agua de Pau, Sao MiguelTheir son Antonio Jacinto da Costa Ferraz was born 7 Jul 1784 and married Barbara Querobina do Espirito Santo on 10 Feb 1817 in Agua de Pau. On their marriage record she was listed as Barbara Querobina do Coracao de Jesus.Witnesses at this marriage were Antonio Caetano da Silva Lopes and Antonio Jose TavaresIt's possible that Joao's parents were not from Agua de Pau. I'm thinking maybe they were from Vila Franca, but I have not been able to find them. Does anyone have these families?Herb
