Thank you! I had gone right by it! Ugh! And yes, I would love to learn to

Here is what I think is the pertinent data ...
11 Nov 1771
Manoel Marques Pereira
Son of Manoel Marques Alfonso and Maria Simoy (?)
Barbara Goularte de Oliveira
Thanks again for your help on this! I will look into the trip - sounds like
an amazing experience!

I've been piecing together my family tree, and with help from João Ventura
(an amazing resource!) I have the birth record for my 2nd
great-grandfather, José António Caetano Mancebo (born March 21, 1846,
Ribeira Seca, São Jorge).
He immigrated to Sausalito, CA, and married Emerenciana Maciel
When looking for the birth record for a great(x5) uncle, I found it ...
twice!

Hi friends!

for my 3rd great grandfather, but I don't recognize any other names on here
