Looking for:
I am researching João Jachinto
raids
on the island for water and provisions. I have read an historical account of
privateers having attacked Flores in the mid 1600's and having burned every
church on the island so it is not surprising that many of the early records
are lost.
Good luck in your search,

Joaquin is Spanish, Joaquim is Portuguese. If you go back to the original
Portuguese records, you will most probably find the latter spelling.

Just uploaded all the info I have to date:
in Fajazinha at the time. So my theory is that when there
were several people with the same name, the custom developed to distinguish
between them by their father's first name. Just my theory.
By the way, there area a lot of Fraga families on Corvo so my theory would
seem to fit there.

Interesting interpretation Eric. A palheiro can also be a barn. So another
interpretation could Manuel Sousa who has a barn. I once stayed in a
cottage in Cuada (the village turned resort). It was named Palheiro do

The Braziliin slang is defintely more difficult to translate but legal
Brazillian and European Portuguese should not be that different.

I don't know if I can explain it really but Brazilian portuguese is

Nice article. It was also fun to read the comments.
An interesting tidbit about Duarte's for you genealogists...
Last time I was at Duarte's (in August
Ana/Nancy,
I like your new name. It could be because I had a great grandmother, Anna
Felizarda de Vasconcellos born on Flores. That was both her maiden name and
her married name because she was married to her first cousin, my great
grandfather, Francisco Victorino de Vasconcellos.

about the encounter of the Revenge, Sir Walter Raleighs former flagship,
commanded by his cousin, Sir Richard Grenville with the Spanish Armada off
Flores. Un fortunately, Grenville lost his lifein this battle, but the poem
is very interesting to read.
Bye for now.

*Shirley,
I have the Flores Marriages Book and as time allows, I will search it for
Rocha. So far I have only found Silvestre Antonio Rocha,** born in Fajas**,
son of Manuel de Fraga Rocha and Maria de Jesus**, married 09/13/1849 to
Ana da Trindade. I'll continue to search but it is complicated
