I descend from Águeda Calvo daughter of Sebastião Fernandes Moreno and Beatriz Calvo from Bretanha. Águeda married Manuel Martins in Santo Antonio on 28 feb 1641. Manuel was the son of Bartolomeu Roiz and Isabel Martins from Santo Antonio.
Águeda and Manuel were the parents of Pedro Martins Calvo baptized in São José, Ponta Delgada, and married in São Roque with Maria de Oliveira. They are the ancestors of my 4th grandfather Manuel Machado from São Roque.
