Hi Mara, Thanks for your input, I am aware of the role of the Portuguese explorers and the historical connections between Pico and Macau two of the Bishops from Macau were from Pico and also of the trade of Asian
slaves in Continental Portugal mostly form China and Southern Japan, during the sixteenth centuries. But I have been unable to find any documentation on Pico or the Azores in general of Asian slaves. I do however remember reading about the island of Madeira of someone owning twelve Asian Indian slaves. Yes actually you did help, I am unaware of connections between Vietnam and Portugal but like you implied it is quite possible someone of mixed Chinese Portuguese ancestry may have moved from Macau to Vietnam.
