Also, my grandmother was blonde and blue eyed, fair complexion. She was also from Horta. I was told stories of one of her relatives that was a whaler and had had red hair.......interesting! In a message dated 1/23/2015 1:03:55 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, ehsilve...@comcast.net writes:
Hi, My mother was also blonde when she was young and always had beautiful hazel eyes. She was born in Cedros. My wife's father was born in Sao Jorge and he was a red head and sported a red beard. One of my wife's brothers was called "Red" because he also was a red head.

On my first trip to the Azores in 1973, I spent a few days on Faial and Pico before going onto Flores, and was surprised at seeing so many blondes and redheads. Even Flores where my parents were born had it's share of blondes and redheads. My mothers second cousin, Whaling captain Antonio Corvello, was said to have flaming redhair.

My great-aunt told me that her father (from Faial) was blue-eyed, fair skinned, and with strawberry blonde hair. He was a farmer and used to get very red-skinned after working in the California sun. --- Joan Jurancich On 01/17/2015 11:15 AM, mnk wrote: Interesting that they list him as blue eyed, light skin, and blonde beard!
