Doug, You are correct in that I'm searching for my wife's ancestors, but I'm still not sure if I'm looking at the correct people. :) I only received a couple dozen names and the earliest date I've confirmed so far is 11/21/1860 for an Aniceto Luiz Parreira. Interesting information you

Doug, no I haven't found the link. I was hoping maybe you or someone else had. I haven't done any research in Terceira records and am not familiar with Forjaz's book. I was just raising the connection as a possibility, since I match Joseph Salvador at the 5th-to-remote-cousin level on Family

I recomend caution with this surname because there are many Galantes from Lagoa, S. Miguel who have used as a surname for a few generations. Hermano Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 22:55:53 -0400 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Joao Luiz Parreira Galante, Ribeirnha, Terceira, 1890s, - alcunha? From:

Nancy I don't know if he has any Sao Miguel ancestors. I have never research that island for any. As for Joe's, Salvador da Rocha, their GGrand parents were from Piedade, Pico. The name was Domingos Vieira and Maria Pereira. Records don't go back far enough to find anything about them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've run across a few names that are similar, but I haven't found anything definitive yet. I'll keep my eyes open for anything else that may make the link. On Friday, October 3, 2014 11:34:32 AM UTC-7, Hermano C. Pires wrote: I recomend caution with this surname
