Interesting that your contact is Christine Macedo her uncle and I believe either cousins or brothers are my family finder matches and her Macedo line traces to Candelaria, Pico.

There are lists of the people who came to the goldfields and I can find them but it will take a while I.m leaving in a 1 hour to go for a week’s break. When I get back I can find if the local family history Centre on the Gold Coast has copies of the lists, they have an extensive micro fiche library. My great grandfather Jose de Andrade de Macedo came to Australia about 1860 and might have come on the Waterlily . I will have to look up my Argentinian Aunts letters when I get back. The gold rushes were almost finishing by the time my g grandfather got here and then he went on to New Zealand. He married in N.Z then went to Argentina leaving his son in N.Z. hence I was born in N.Z. but now live in Aus. I know from my aunt that we have relatives in Sao Miguel but haven’t had time to research it. There are certainly a number of Sousas in the family. I’ll be in touch when I get back and if someone else hasn’t helped you I’ll see what i can find out for you.
