Repost for Tony, tony_amarant at hotmail.com Hello Eliseu,
My great grandfather was Manoel Amaranté (mistakenly listed below as Manuel Amarante) and he came from the town of Manadas, Sao Jorge so I'm very keen to understand the source document of your post. I was aware he came out on the "Water Lily" but haven't been able to find much more than that. What else can you tell me about the expedition? Also I'm wondering whether your location of " Fores Crick mines" should or could be Forest Creek Mine? Forest Creek near Castlemaine, Victoria was a well known goldfields area that was dotted with mines and small individual "claims" often referred as "diggings". My g/grandfather obviously moved on from the "expedition" as I have found records of him in other goldfield areas of Victoria eventually settling down in place called Wattle Creek where he operated a quartz crusher for a time before marrying and becoming a farmer. Hope to hear from you. Regards, Tony. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
