Dear Cousin Rick: Actually Rick, our common ancestors are the grandparents of José de Viveiros de Miranda, António Viveiros Travassos of Capelas, married on 10 May 1714 to Maria de Araújo, born 16 Oct 1682. My latest revision of my paper on the Mirandas of Bretanha runs 300pp. I do not think I will be revising it any further. The Pacheco Mirandas, Cordeiro Mirandas, Viveiros Mirandas, Mirandas de Araújo, Tavares Mirandas and the Mirandas from Santo António all have Afonso Ledo as their common ancestor. So anybody connected to any one of these Miranda branches is related to everybody else with a connection in any of these Miranda branches.
The Viveiros Mirandas are nicknamed the "barbeiros", i.e. barbers, which also means they were amateur surgeons. They pulled teeth, stitched up wounds, etc. They were near neighbors and worked closely with the Morgados da Lomba Grande. The house of José de Viveiros and Joana da Estrela still stands at the intersection of the Estrada Nacional and the Canada da Lomba Grande. In its time it was one of the best houses in Pilar. I remember visiting "Mestre" João Barbeiro in that house some 35 years ago.
