Hello all, I'm researching my great grandfather Jose Soares Manteiga's line. Jose Soares Manteiga married Maria Amelia Calheta on 25 Oct 1880, in Rosario, Lagoa. My researched gave me 9 children all born in Rosario, Lagoa: Francisco b: 1885, Maria b: 1887, Antonio b: 1889, Jose b; 1890, Maria b: 1892, Maria b: 1894, Rosa b: 1897, Jacintha b: 1900, Joao b: 1903. Finding it a little bit strange that they didn't have kids until 5 years after they got married, I went back and looked again, still found nothing. I found all of these kids by searching all the records 1 by 1 from 1880 to 1905. Ancestry tells me that there was another child born on February 9, 1883 by the name of Manoel. It looks like my great grandfather immigrated to the US in 1902 (according to Ancestry), I also found a marriage registration for a Manuel Soares Manteiga, son of Jose Soares Manteiga and Maria Amelia Calheta. I searched the baptismal records again, still found nothing on a Manuel or Manoel born to Jose Soares Manteiga and Maria Amelia Calheta. I am not sure where else to look. Ideas?
