This is one of my lines. I am most interested in the maternal lineage of Barbara Correia DNA testing of her daughter descendants are all in the L2a Haplogroup. This Haplogroup is of African origins. I can speculate that she may be of Moorish decent or slave decent but alas the records seem to have run out.

They lived in Santo Antonio Alem Capelas and had children there roughly in the 1680' s to 1690's. Unfortunately, it seems that the records from those years were destroyed or missing so I am trying to piece the family together. It seems that Joao Sousa Soares may have been the son of Sebastiao Sousa and Barbara Soares who had a son named Joao in the parish in 1654. Based on his parents last names I am thinking it is a good chance that he is a fit. I have also read that the Soares family from that parish have a long lineage. Does anyone have any further information on Joao Sousa Soares/Barbara Costa. Sebastiao Sousa/Barbara Soares. Or anythingconnecting them to earlier Soares generations?
