Hi Rico,
I am Deb McCabe, the Deb that my prima Pat mentioned in the post you
referenced. I wanted to reach out to see if we can figure out if we are
related.
I have two possible connections in my tree. Either could be the Rosa Silvia
Martins (aka Rosa Silveira Martins and Rosa Margarida Martins) you mentioned as
the mother of your Rosa (born 1898 and married to Rufino Silveira de Faria).
The first Rosa Silvia Martins possibility is:RosaBorn in Feteira, Faial in
1860.Daughter of Jose Francisco Martins and his first wife, Maria Felicia do
Coracao de Jesus. Jose is my paternal great grandfather.
The second Rosa Silvia Martins possibility is:RosalindaBorn in Feteira, Faial
in 1874.Daughter of Jose Francisco Martins and his second wife, Virginia
Emilia. Jose Francisco and Virginia Emilia are my paternal grandparents.
Unfortunately, I don't have any info on either of these women. Nevertheless,
I wanted to reach out in case, as you were looking through the records, you saw
any of these names.
Also, if you know any other names of relatives in the Azores or who came to
the U.S., perhaps we can figure out if there is a connection by starting with
them. Also, Pat and I both have had our DNA tested. If you take the FTDNA
test, we will know for sure.
Please do keep me posted. Best of luck!
Deb
When I searched for ancestors, I found friends!

I just stumbled upon this post, as I am new to the group. I have Martins from
Feteira, Faial in my family as well, and I am not finding much more on that
part of the family. Rosa Silvina Martins (b 1898 - ?, married to Rufino
Silveira de Faria), and her mother Rosa Silvia Martins (AKA Rosa Silveira
Martins, and Rosa Margarida Martins). I am curious if these names are familiar
to you. Thank you for your time.

Hi Cheri,
I had to share this with you! Four years ago I saw a post on the Azores Google
Group asking if anyone had Martins from Feteira Faial in their tree. I was so
excited because I did and it had been a dead end. I contacted Deb McCabe and we
compared notes. We were convinced that we probably were 3rd cousins. Fast
forward to FTDNA. Yes, we are 3rd cousins! We are meeting in person for the
first time in 2 weeks. I'm so excited because she is the first living relative
I have found on my father's side. Previously the only paternal relatives I have
ever known were my father, my grandfather (who died when I was 5) and my aunt
who was childless.
Thank you Cheri, I couldn't have done this without you. You are forever in my
debt. Can't wait till the conference!
Pat Girard
