*Not only have I been there, but I have ancestors from there, my 4th ggparents, Andre de Freitas and Luzia Rois (Rodrigues). They are end of line so I can only estimate their dob but their daughter, isabel de Freitas, was married in 1743 So I would estimate that they would have been born in the early 1700s. *
*The village of Quada ( It's located between Faja Grande and Fajazinha) was abandoned in the 60's but has since been converted into a resort. We have stayed ther a couple of times and it's really great.Goggle it!* *What is even more interesting is that I might related to "Senador Andre de Freitas", a local political figure from the early 20th century, who eventually became govenor of the Horta District. When I asked The managers at "Aldeia da Cuada" (modern spelling) which house belonged to Andre de Freitas, they pointed out a house that was in ruins but was plastered inside and out, the only house in Quada that was, indicating to me that the original owner had been a person of means.* On Fri, Jun 23, 2017 at 1:04 PM, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, lugar (modern spelling) da Quada.
