João - Thanks so very much for your help and this information!! This will really help me go further back in time. I'll definitely buy the "Casais das Flores e do Corvo".
Doug - I am researching my spouses lineage. The story: Three da Rocha brothers: Jacintho Ignacio, Antonio Ignacio and João Ignacio (who descend from the José Ignacio da Rocha in my post), came to Hawaii in 1895 (Braunfels). Tony and John remain in Hawaii, but Jess immigrates to California (Oakland area). I was excited to hear our Rocha's trace back to Terceira. Is my spouse a cousin of your cousin? Again- much thanks to you both!
