Thank you Margaret. This nickname could keep the family entertained for a long
time. I can’t wait to share it with my relatives. Maybe I will start a contest
to see who can create the best story for how he acquired this nickname.
Thanks again,

Hi Edna,
Have you had the Family Finder test? My de Lemos family was from Rosais but I

Francisca Rosa de Lemos had 8 brothers and sisters all born in Sao Jorge.
Many/most of them came to the states. I do have Machados

Lee, I think I found the term that had you confused in Maria's baptism. The
word is not "de funto," it is "de junto," and, it is a reference to the

caminho de junto do mar."

Personally, Lee, I think you need to consult the tutorial on how to read
Portuguese records, before you attempt to read any other records.

You could fly SATA from Oakland. I am not sure day(s) of week they fly
