Pam, When I first researched, I worked primarily in Maia. For the most part these people settle in Maia and stayed there. The people of Achada are different. Right from the start I have ancestors from different villages. My great great grandmother, Anna Jacinta de Mello was from Achada, but my gr gr grandfather, Jacintho Pacheco was from Fenais da Vera Cruz (Ajuda). I still haven't located their marriage nor the baptismal of their first son, Antonio Pacheco. Though, it's not a roadblock. I've been able to go well beyond both of them. Still, I want those two records (the marriage and baptismal). My tree feels incomplete without them.
