Hi Nelia, I have a good feeling about this one. I believe we are related through my Grandmother who still has cousins in Feitera with connections to Capelas based on some hints I found. I have yet to upload this cousin's info to Gedmatch and I'm going to do it now. Maria On Thursday,

Are you sure you are supposed to be searching Sao Miguel? Coincidentally my MIL is Oliveira on her mom's side and Bettencourt on her dad's side and she's from Faial. On Monday, October 21, 2019 at 5:48:57 PM UTC-4, Lillian Palko wrote: > > Are either of these names favored in a particular

I came across this and need to correct the fact that Joao is NOT Jose. It is like saying John is Joseph. My Great Grandfather is Jose, not Joao. I tried to fix this on the CITCEM site as I noted it was there incorrectly but it just wouldn't let me. I know it's been a while since this was posted
