JR and John Athayde- The ancestors of Joao Correa de Mendoca have/making me literally insane...lol
JR, you mentioned manoel Pereira Maia/Maya. If he's the one who married maria de Conde do Rozario daughter of manoel de zoned Pais and Maria de Mendoca he is one of my cousins direct ancestors as well through their daughter Maris Josefa d Conde who married Mathias Jose Dornellas on May 3 , 1773 in Luz. I count the surnames of Bettencourt at least 11 times, de Conde at least 11 times, Athayde 3 times and others such as Mendonca, Hortins (Ortins), Novais, Vaz Sodre (not sure if that is two separate names), de Aviz, Pais/Pays, Souza, Camara, Gonsalves, Siro, Correa, Miranda, Picano, Botelho, Espinola, Fernandes, Maia/Maya, Deiro, Avila, Melo, Medina, Dornellas, Pereira, Luz, Furtada, Grinde, Alvarez, Codts and Netta so far. I think I'll type a list like Eliseu did,that will help clear things up. Also, JR you asked about which Joao de Conde Nadine is descended from - thee aware actually two in her line: The Joao de Conde who a,arrived Dona. Aria from Praia and the is Joao de Conde Pais/Pays born about 2658 who married Maria de Novais de Eyre (Deiro) born about 1659 - he died April 20, 1739 and was the child of Manoel de Conde Sodre and Aba Go Salves and she Maris de Novais died December 12, 1739 and was the child of Manoel Dornellas da Camara and Catherina Novais de Eyre (Deiro). Sorry for the long post, it's just this family is so complicated, the same names over and over in some cases.
