Hi John, Thank you for that information. I did not know that and don't think my friend Becky did either. I'll let her know. I wish all my relatives had information back that far. Thanks again. Vivian (Silva) Christy

I have relatives here in San Diego but have not yet done that line. I know Becky has done her line back to 1700's. Manoel Goularte Gracia Madruga born about 1700 in Sao Matheus, Pico, Acores is Generation 1. From there it goes to Generation 7 and lots of names. I can contact Becky Madruga and give her your email address if you would like more information on that line. Let me know. Vivian All of the Madrugas descend from André Gonçalves Madruga, the elder, born in Faial (see Maldonado, Fénix Angrence, Parte Genealógica, p.201) and died in Angra (Sé) on 15-11-1558 (Idem.) Frutuoso says he lived between S. Mateus and Negrito. He married Isabel Dias Rodovalho, daughter of Diogo Vaz Rodovalho, who lived in Viana do Alentejo and died between 1512 and 1523 and Maria Esteves Cansado, who died between 1523 and 1527.
