Hello Cousin Neil, This is Bill Seidler in California and I am a great gandson of Felicidade Teixeira and her husband Ventura Pacheco Demello. I am interested in finding out more about the children of Manuel Bernardo Teixera who is apparently a GG Grandfather to both you and I? This is what I have from the CCA website: -- Manuel Bernardo Teixiera born 1831 to Bernardo Teixeira and Vitoria Maria in Agua Retorta -- He married Emilia Rosa de Medeiros 25 Jan 1871 in Agua Retorta Manuel Bernardo and Emilia Rosa had the following children that I have found in CCA: -- Francisco born Oct 1871 in Agua Retorta -- Rosa born Oct 1872 in Agua Retorta -- Filomena born Jan 1875 in Agua Retorta Sometime after 1875 they moved to Ponta Delgada (São José) and had more children there but those records are not on CCA. I obtained otherwise the baptism record of my great grandmonther Felicidade born to them Aug 1887 in São José, Ponta Delgada. I am unable to find the baptism record for your great grandfather, José, in Agua Retorta on CCA, but I am kind of new at this. Could they have already moved to Ponta Delgada? Do you know the immigration status of the oldest child, Francisco? I am told that Filomena immigrated to Massachusetts. My wife believes Rosa was the only of his children to not immigrate. Rosa, by the way, is my wife's great grandmother. So my wife, like you and I, is also a great great grandchild of the same Manuel Bernardo Teixeira and Emilia Rosa de Medeiros. My wife also believes there was another daughter that went to Massachusetts named Maria. Do you know anything about her? Bill
