Very interesting, Linda. I didn´t know that Miguel de Noia married with Ursula Rodrigues in Rosario, Lagoa.
Margarida Furtado, my ancestor from Vila Franca, was daughter of Manuel Rodrigues Noia and Maria de Matos m. on 28 Oct 1666 in Vila Franca (S. Pedro). Manuel Rodrigues Noia was son of Simião Correia and Maria Rodrigues and I couldn´t find their marriage record in Vila Franca. One never knows, but Maria Rodrigues probably was daughter of Miguel de Noia and Ursula Rodrigues. There are two Marias baptized in Vila Franca-S. Miguel Arcanjo, daughters of Miguel de Noia and Ursula Rodrigues. One of them was baptized on 13 Jun 1616 and the other one was baptized on 23 Jul 1621. Manoel Cesar Furtado Linda wrote: Manoel, Per John Raposo, I'm connected to Miguel Rodrigues Noia b. 1570 in Vila Franca m. to Ursula Rodrigues on 5.9.1615 in Rosario, Lagoa. I have so many Rodrigues coming down; Sebastiao Rodrigues m. to Maria Manuel, Hyronima Dias and to Catarina Velho. Not sure if they were brothers and/or second marriages. They were from Sao Pedro, Vila Franca. Then there is Antonio Rodrigues around 1700 from Matriz R.G. m. to Brisida Resendes. I'm wondering if any of these are connected to my ggrandfather, Manuel de Andrade de Almeida Rodrigues from Sao Roque, but nothing to prove where he was born or if that was where he originally was from. I have written on my grandparents marriage certificate that we was Manuel de Andrade, but on my aunt's birth certificate it states his full name. He married Maria de Gloria which I found was from Faja de Baixo. I have Eliseu trying to get me a certificate on him and John doing the research so hopefully I can get somewhere on this line.
