I'm glad Elizabeth you gave your info since I didn't have it and you know as we discussed that I have Manuel de Almeida de Andrade Rodrigues from Sao Roque as my ggrandfather b. abt. 1855. Also his daugther, my grandmother Maria do Espirito Santo de Andrade b. 1884 always carrying her name as de Andrade so my mother always said. I never heard my mother say de Almeida or even Rodrigues. She has listed on her marriage certificate she is from Ariffes. Manuel was married to Maria da Gloria from Faja de Baixo. They had four children: Odelia, Anton, my grandmother and Elise. Odelia married and went to Canada with two children, Anton never married (spent all the money given to him) and my grandmother and Elise had 17 children between the both of them, but 10 of them died. Supposedly my ggrandfather was very wealthy. I think it was a mill that he owned because some of what was left (equipment) went to my grandmother and probably the other sisters as a dowry. I just remember my mother telling me that her nephew who still lives in Ribeira Grande sold off the last of everything back in the 80's/90's and my mom told him to keep the money. She said it didn't add up to much supposedly. That's all I know about her maternal side. I will have to get certificates and see what I can find out. I know that Celeste helped me when she went there in 07 and found quite a few Manuel Rodrigues. The only one that was close was Manuel and Marie (twins) March 7, 1896. Manuel de Almeida and Maria Jacintha. Paternal Jose de Almeida and Maria Joaquina; Maternal Roque Rodrigues and Rosa Jacintha. Close because it's the only one I saw de Almeida and Rodrigues together. Again this was from Sao Roque. Maybe someone may pick up something from this info and help us out. Linda
