It's been awhile since I've posted an update for my tree to this group. I took a break from genealogy after my Dad passed away 5 years ago. Then, work mostly on my French and Irish lines as new records became available to me. In the past few months, I've been back to work on my Azorean lines working exclusively in Achada. With all this work going on, I have finally decided to upload my family tree online.
The tree covers my lines on Sao Miguel Island in Maia (de Braga, Mello, Mello Castanho, Pacheco de Rezendes, Pacheco Remigio, Boteilho da Rocha, Moniz, etc.), Achada (Pacheco, Mello, Rezendes, Silva, Correia, Furtado, do Monte, Pimentel, Soares de Resendes, Sylva Tavares, etc.), and Fenais da Vera Cruz/Ajuda (Pacheco, Ferreira, Grota, Silva, Medeiros, etc.) mostly. It is not a complete family tree. WikiTree is much easier to work with in smaller GEDCOM uploads. I've uploaded the Azoreans through the mid 1700s, though a couple of lines go back before 1400. Both my lines (de Braga and Pacheco) migrated to Hawaii in 1882 and settled in Kilauea, Kauai, HI. I still have relatives there today. There were other cousins with the surname Caetano from Maia who ended up in Honolulu. Many of the descendants of my tree migrated to Oakland, Spreckels, King City, Salinas, and Stockton, CA. A couple of years ago I made a connection with a woman in Massachusetts who turned out to be related my Maia lines. I have realized that some of the cousins of my great grandmother, Maria d'Espirito Santo (de Braga) Pacheco Smith migrated to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the late 1890s and early 1900s. They were primarily from the de Braga, de Mello Castanho, and Pacheco Remigio (aka Romiza) families. Anyway, here is a link to my online tree: http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Smith-Family-Tree-45921 If you think we have a connection, let me know.
