Repost for Emil: silveira.emil at gmail.com Hi to all, I have listed the following referring to the “de Bem” found in my file for anyone who is interested.
Antonia de Bem married to Manuel Almeida both born in Cedros, Faial are my 9th great grandparents. Antonio Rodrigues de Bem born abt 1658 in Pedro Miguel, Faial married Catarina Ornelas born in Graciosa both died in Cedros, Faial. Their son Joao Rodrigues de Bem born abt 1679 in Graciosa, married my 1st cousin 8 times removed, Maria da Rosa born in Cedros, Faial. Catarina Dias de Bem born abt 1659 in Pedro Miguel, Faial, married Domingos Goncalves “o Velho” born Jan 1631 in Cedros, Faial. He is my 1st cousin 9 times removed. Joao Antonio de Bem born in Santo Antonio, Pico, married Paula Santo Antonio born in Santo Antonio, Pico. Their son Joaquim Antonio Brum Silveira born abt 1756 in Santo Antonio, Pico married Mariana Bernarda Bettencourt born Jul 21, 1745 in Castelo Branco, Faial. She is my 4th cousin 5 times removed. Pedro Rodrigues de Bem, son of Antonio Rodrigues de Bem and Catarina Ornelas shown above, also married a Catarina Ornelas and had a daughter who was Catarina Silveira she married Amaro Pereira Lacerda born abt 1625. He is my 1st cousin 10 times removed. These lines are still in process work as is all of my work, but my assumption is that my de Bem families all came from Pico.
