[AZORES-Genealogy] Josefa Mello (Povoacao/Maia) was really a Pacheco

Before I got involved with my de Braga discovery, I was working on the Mello/Mello Castanho's of Maia, Ribeira Grande. One thing that had confounded me was I could not locate information on my ancestor, Joao de Mello's parents or siblings. I was able to solve part of the mystery this month.
