JR, I think I may shift to Sao Jose and try the mother's village first. Their are many obitos for Sao Sebastiao. It could be a needle in a haystack kind of search through those records.
I have gotten a few DNA matches recently who have ancestry in the Ponta Delgada area and none in any of the villages that I have ancestry in. Now I wonder if Jose Jacintho de Braga may be the common link.
