Hi, Ken That was a wonderful conference, wasn't it! I'm eager to go to the next one. I writing you because I'm researching Graciosa also, and although I have some ancestors who came from Guadalupe, my Silvas all seem to have come from the Fontes area in Santa Cruz. I do have a 4th great, who was Caetano de Sousa da Silva who came from Guadalupe, though. I didn't see a match with you on FTDNA so we mustn't have the same Silva. Happy hunting! Sue
