Lisa,
I have a large file of Lagoa families. If I understand correctly this is your Great Grandfather Francisco Raposo also named as Galante? He Married Maria do Rosario; Can you give a little more details such as his birthdate, did he marry in Lagoa? Are your Cabral and Botelho also from Lagoa? Maria Moore Hello, >From what I can find my rapoza's wife was Mary or Maria Dos Rosario. My great >grandfather, Francisco Rapoza, has listed on his ssdi as his mother's last >name as Galante. But I found her passport on the BYU site along with my >Joao Rapoza as Dos Rosario. They immigrated from Lagoa in 1883 to Hawaii.I am >truely not sure what her last name was.... Oh wait, maybe this will help. My Uncle once told me that Joao was apparently very cruel especially to animals, and Maria was raising some horses or involved in horses in Hawaii, and Joao was murdered by a fellow farm or ranch hand for beating a horse. sometime between 1909 and 1915 In Hawaii. Any help you can give would be appreciated.I Could give you the names of my Cabrals Botelhos etc if you wish.

I looked up Joao Raposa in "Portuguese Immigrants to Hawaii". Found 5 Joao Raposo's and 5 Joao Rapozo's. Are you able to give me his wife's name, then I can narrow it down.

I am interested in learning more about this line of ancestry, the Raposo. Was there a different way that your ancestors spelled that last name? my paternal Grandmother's Grandfather was Joao Rapoza, but I found that somewhere along the way the spelling has been changed to Raposo, Raposa, Repoza, Repozo, Reposa. I know that my Ggg grandfather, Joao, immigrated to Hawaii from the Azores. Any information on the Raposo last name would be appreciated. In this particular ancestrial lineage I have the following surnames: Arruda, Cabral, Costa, DeCosta,DeLima,Pereira,Botelho,Crua,Andrade,Carvalho,Dos Rosario,Mederios, etc. Any help on researching this line would be much appreciated. Thank you, Lisa L From: patli...@verizon.net To: azores@googlegroups.com My dear friend and possibly cousin (never made the connection), Elizabeth McDonald had sent me a couple of years ago her family time line. I'm not sure if she is on this group any longer, but she goes back to Jose Raposo m. Francisca Ignacia Pereira (daughter of Jose-Jacintho Pereira and Maria Augusta) from Maia, Sao Miguel abt. 1847. Two children brought down 17 grandchildren. Son, Joao Raposo-Pereira m. Francisca-Julia da Ponte Ramalho and daughter, Rosa-Ignacia da Conceicao m. Manoel Raposo- Pereira (kept it in the family). Maybe there is a connection coming down to those Raposo's. Linda Borges (Furtado) Furtado Marcos and John, I came across a Thome Rapozo "marriage" date 11-July-1736. The record says he is a widower of Maria do Nascimento and that he's marrying Victoria de Mello. I'm attaching the jpg for you to take a look. -- -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
