Thanks for the responses! I had a feeling it wasn't the country, but the
wording threw me off. I've the Rua da... and understood it to be street,
etc. But, I've never seen it followed with a person's name. So, a canada
is a narrow street/lane.
Always learning something new!
Thanks
Mel
Canada means small lane or narrow street, not the country Canada. So they
were living in laneway of Joao Borges. Most of our ancestors lived in such
laneways.

Hi Mel,
A cañada is a geographical feature. Have a look at this link where there's
an explanation:
