Lee, JR, and John, It would be interesting to collaborate with all of you and see if we have connecting Graciosa lines. I too have many Conde's, and Ataide's in my family tree, mostly from Sao Matheus and Luz.
There is a Genealogias de Graciosa por Matheus Machado Fagundes on the Cultural Azores website: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GENEALOGIAS-GRACIOSA/GENEALOGIAS-GRACIOSA_item1/index.html There also was another person named Oriolando Silva (who has passed away I believe in the last decade or so) who supposedly did a lot of work and research on many or the majority of families on Graciosa. Maybe both Joao Ventura's would have more information on this.
