Doug, my inquiry truly is a shot in the dark. I've been unable to see the name
"valente" in the Bandeiras records that I've looked through. I'm curious about
the family from Bandeiras though because I know that at some point they existed
there. As far as I know I have no relation to them. We're in the process of an
addition on our adega in Santo Amaro and the new part needs the old cut stone
so we had to buy a ruin to move the rock and build with. As you go toward
Madalena the ruin is on the left in Bandeiras next to a small plaza not far
from the church. At some point it was a grand structure....much larger than
average. Now the roof is fallen in but the stone is fabulous. No one seems to
know anything about the structure other than that at some point it was owned by
a family named "Valente" that eventually left for Fayal. I was hoping the
records might give me some insight. alas.....
However, since we're on Babdeiras relations....I do have 1 that married into my
Candelaria line. JOSE FERREIRA SERPA married AGUEDA RODRIGUES and their first
child was born in 1706.....not sure of the marriage date. Any chance of a
relation to your family from Bandeiras?

Nancy,
Yes, to answer you in my last message, I was noticing Valent in Piedade, Pico,
but when you said Bandeiras, that was what caught my attention.Is the Valente
you found from Bandeiras?

Hi Doug,
Yes, I looked at the CCA site and began going through the available records
looking for the name "Valente". I'm not looking for anyone in particular but
I'm not familiar with that surname. Is it common and have you seen it in any
Pico records?
Any insight appreciated!Nancy

Bad news, Nancy.
Bandeiras records are lost before about 1850.
I have many ancestors from Bandeiras.
Who did you find from there?

Greetings to all,
This is a shot in the dark. I'm hoping that someone who researches Pico may
have seen the surname "Valente". I'm not familiar with this as a common surname
and wonder if anyone else is familiar with the "Valente" name.
I'm especially interested in the Valente family from from Bandeiras.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Best regards,Nancy Jean Baptista
