Some disagreement, even among descendants about exactly how many - for
instance, one or two stillborn. The descendants claim as many as 24. My
research finds 19 for sure. These children are my half 1st cousins, once

These folks, Andre and Anna are my grandparents. Their son, Jose is my

I can provide some information on the Vital name in Lagoa. Many Vital
folks were at one time do Rego Baldaia way back in the 16th and 17th
centuries. Most of them became simply do Rego in the 1700s but there soon
became so many in Lagoa (mostly Rosario parish) that many added a second
name
the earlier records. I suspect he took the
title to enhance his standing. For some reason he made a sudden departure
out of town taking his family with him. Later birth records for more
children have him working in a vineyard with no mention of Barao.

I did it and how easy depends on a few things. If you have a parent or
grandparent (I don't think it extends beyond grandparents but I may be
wrong) born in Portugal (including Azores, etc.), the Portuguese government
already views you as a citizen whether you know it or not. All you need do
I have Frogoso folks way back in Lagoa (Rosario). My 8th greatgrandfather
was Manoel Fragoso born 26 Dec 1666. The children of one of his daughters
used another name so the Fragoso name disappeared from my ancestry around

I got Portuguese citizenship through the San Francisco consulate - my

Are you aware that the name Rose is probably an Americanized da Rosa or
