Hello cousin! what little I have I can gladly share but I have more ancestry than descendants for that branch of the family tree. It seems we are related through Manuel Medeiros Grota & Maria Francesca Moura - he is the brother of my 2x great grandfather Antonio de Medeiros. I have very little info on that line so maybe between us we can fill in some gaps.
One piece of information I was told when I began my genealogical addiction about 15 years ago was that all the Medeiros Grota's from Bretanha are related so that has been a huge help. I'll gladly share what I have on them if it will be a help to you. Just let me know! Welcome to the family!
