My father's paternal grandmother was from Pico and I was told she had red hair and green eyes She died from gangrene when I was about 7 months old). My mother's father had blond hair and blue eyes. He was also from Pico. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Goulart(e), which I am told is a Flemish name. She was from Pico, but I have been told her family at one point in time lived on Fayal. However, I have not had any luck proving or disproving that "family story." Carol Silva Warnock
