Doug, I have not done much research on the Faria line yet. Most of the information I have is from the NEPS (Citcem) site, or from relatives. (I research rather sporadically.) And yes, I have found that everyone is related - starting from the third generation on back.
My mom has dementia and I recently found out that it may run on her mother's side of the family. Her mother had a sister with alzheimers. Mom also has two cousins that are still in Pico, brother and sister, with alzheimers. (These are from another aunt.) My grandmother's father is Francisco Simplicio Rosa Vieira and her mother is Maria Jesus Conceicao. This is the grandmother that was married to my grandfather Manuel Pereira Faria. My mom's long term memory seems to be kicking in, so I'm going to try to find out what I can before it is too late. If it is not a problem, could you send me a chart that shows the Cardoso connection?
