I am a blood decendent of Manuel De Avila Brazil, therefore I am researching
that line. All I know is that Manuel Brazil married Rosalina and she is the
daughter of Manuel Baptist and Maria Perpetua, I don't know if this is the
Baptists that you are researching, they were from Topo. I am only covering the
fringes of Manuel Brazil because he is the brother of my great grand father
Antonio De Avila Brazil and there are interesting stories about their arrival
here in Siskiyou County CA. I know that Manuel Brazil (who may be married to
your Manuel's daughter) Came to CA and mined for gold and went back to Sao
Jorge and married, he had done very well mining for gold. He eventually went
blind and stayed on the island not returning to CA.
This is from a book that mentions the De Avila Brazil family..sorry its in
Portuguese:
Na Califórnia comprou um claim, e ali se entreteve a minar oiro até ao ano de
1888, em que voltou à terra, tendo obtido, por seu trabalho e economia, uns dez
mil dólares. Em 1892 voltou à Califórnia, onde se demorou quatro anos, voltando
a esta vila em 1896.
Casou então nesta matriz em 11 de Janeiro de 1897 com a sr.a Ro-salina Perpétua
Brasil, de 33 anos de idade, natural de Santo Antão do Topo, filha de Manuel
Baptista e de Maria Perpétua. Morou na sua casa ao lado norte da praça; e
depois à esquina, lado esquerdo da canada que leva ao forte de Santo Espírito;
casa legada a sua esposa por sua tia Ana Perpétua, por largos anos merceeira
nesta vila, e casada com Jose António da Silva Regalo.
Maybe you can get something out of this.

I have a baptismal record from CCA for Manuel Baptista born 10-1-1830...this is
my greatgrandfathers older brother....first born child of Joao Jose Baptista
and Agada Maria. Could he be yours? Have you looked on The CCA site for the
marriage record or Rosalina's baptism? Do you know her date of birth?
I've been wondering if there were any descendents of Jose and Agada's 3 living
children as part of this group. The children were Manuel, Rosa b. 1833, and
Antonio b.1835....Jose was born in 1837 ....Agada died a few days after giving
birth and Jose died at 10 months old. Joao Jose remarried, Maria Delfina and
they went on to have more children......
Regards,
Nancy Jean

I do not have a birthdate for Manuel Baptist. What I do know is that their
daughter Rosalina was 33 years old when she married my decendent Manuel Brazil,
so in 1897 Rosalina was 33 years old so she was born in 1864, if Rosalina was
born when Manuel was 30 years old then he would have been born in 1834, or if
he was 20 when she was born he would have been born in 1844...I just don't know
the exact date but I will work on it...Manuel Brazil is the brother of my great
grandfather Antonio De Avila Brazil. The were from Calheta Sao Jorge and also
Piedade, Pico (lot of island hopping)
Yes, Marcio and I share Manuel De Valenca in our family tree. I can tell you a
few things about Manuel Brazil, but it is Manuel Baptist that you are
interested in? All I know is that my Manuel married the daughter of your
Manuel.

I have a Manuel Baptist as a decendent, his wife was Perpetual and they had a
daughter named Rosalina. They were from Santo Antão do Topo. Rosalina married
Manuel De Avila Brasil (Brazil) a decendent of mine, on Jan. 11, 1897. I don't
know if there is a connection, but for what its worth.
