In looking at the name William Wood, I've found a captain of three
different whaling ships with that name. I've seen a number of cases where a
seaman picked up in the Azores takes the captains name when he leaves ship
in America.
An early pioneer of Sacramento , Joseph Miller did this.
Carol,
Here is another opinion on the real name of William J Wood from the
Wikipedia page for his son William M Wood:
William Wood was born in 1858 in a cottage on Pease Point Way, in
Edgartown, Massachusetts, on the island of Martha's Vineyard. His parents,

Cousin Marriages are common on Flores because it is such a small Island. I
have cousin marriages on both sides of my family tree. If the genes are
good, superior decendants can be produced. I have some first cousins on my
father's side that married. One of their children married the child of
My Furtado Cardoso great grandparents were first cousins on Picotheir line

there are no obvious problems from this I suspect that things like diabetes and
heart disease are increased in these close lines. their

Everytime I bring up the Concelho of Praia and then check out the villages
under it, I don’t see Praia de Vitoria! I see Cabo da Praia. Am I reading
