Responding further to Cornel's question on this matter I must say that several Goan families of «landed aristocracy» migrated to British India to seek refuge against political persecutions in Goa during the «liberal-constitutional» elections and in Bardez also due to alleged support of the Viscount of Bardez, Inácio de Carvalho, to the rebel Ranes. One major exodus of some prominent Salcete families took place soon after the Sept. 1890 elections in Margão, when over 20 were shot dead by the Portuguese police on the Church square. The Correia-Afonso family seems to have moved out on that occasion. Tony Correia-Afonso could confirm.
