FranciscoI don't want to muddy your genealogical waters but could this be you ancestor. Joaquim, proveniente dos Açores era um negociante no Arraial de São José das Tabôas, RJ. Joaquim Avelino Pereira da Silva, (*1836 +????) em 1860, casou-se a 1a vêz com Mathilde Francisca da Conceição, (*1842 +1872), filha de Marcos José de Marins e Felizarda Francisca da Conceição. Sua 2a esposa foi Leopoldina Felizarda da Conceição (*1846 +1925), filha de Mariano Barbosa de Sá. Leopoldina faleceu e foi sepultada na cidade de Jaú, São Paulo em 1925. Hope this helps.HermanoFrom: gfsche...@gmail.com Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:17:33 -0700 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Pereira da Silva To: azores@googlegroups.com
Francisco, You'll need to start with Brasil research to figure out the island and the freguesia your ancestor came from. You can find various Brazil lists here. There may be others on Yahoo or Google Groups too. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/BRA/ Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
