Interesting that you also have the alcunha Bonito in your family, who knows
could be a connection. I am convinced that Pico received settlers from Sao
Miguel not during the initial settlement process but probably 100-150 years
later when they began developing their vineyards. One of the
Hi Everyone,
Whaling hasn't been outlawed in the Azores since the 1980's but the boats
are now utilized for racing it's popular on the islands of Pico and Faial
many Villages have a racing team some also have women's racing teams which

Eric,
Adding to what you said about the Canhoto alcunha on Flores, I once helped
a fellow (now deceased) with a Canhoto in his family tree. He was born in
the US and I helped him research his Flores family tree. Somehow he didn't
quite get it because he always said that among other families, he

John,
I knew an old fellow in Almagreira, Lajes do Pico with the alcunha of

a alcunha that comes from Cara Alta which means long face) Carauta then
became a surname I think his original surname was Alvares.
