Thank you Linda, your insight is always appreciated and helpful. Sorry for the delay in responding. You are correct that I search for an Azorean obit for him. I looked through 1911 in Urzelina where he last lived and in Praia, Graciosa where he was born. The DNA evidence coupled with the

Hi Bill, Just some thoughts: Have you tried drawing out timelines for your Francisco Jose Cordeiro and for the NZ Francisco Jose? Sometimes that helps clarify things. What documents exist for the New Zealand Francisco Jose? I'm struck by how much Francisco Jose and Maria Isabel seemed to
