Hi George, I'm not sure where the Serpa came from originally, my gg grandmother Ana Isabel de Serpa's father was Jose Caetano Da Fonte and her grandfather was Jose Caetano Da Fonte, and her great grandfather was Manuel da Fonte dos Reis Ana married Manuel Garcia Serpa so I'm not sure if the Serpa came from him or not. Thanks so much for that information, it is interesting and they did go to Boston Ma when they came over here in 1858. Jacklyn
