Hi Geneva,
About my Faria family. Mine came from Sao Roque do Pico, but I think before there it came from Castelo Branco, Faial. I'm going only from memory, so I might be off. There are a few branches of Faria. One is from Terceira in the early 1500s, I believe. There is one in early Faial. I think maybe the third is another from Faial or maybe Terceira.
Of course, there are numerous Faria families that can't connect to these well-known families and mine is like that. Records are lost in most cases and we can't learn more.
If your Faria is from Sao Miguel and you have traced it back to the beginning of the records and it's still from Sao Miguel, maybe that means there is another major branch or two or three from Sao Miguel.
Whether these branches are really just the same family and beyond our ability to know it, if a Faria family arrived in early Sao Miguel and spread out from there, that would be maybe how we could have a connection by Faria.
I'm not looking at Rodrigo Rodrigues and if he has anything about Faria. Maybe another can let us know. I have only his first volume and haven't looked at it for a decade.
