António José Coelho [son of José Coelho of Corvo and Rita Pimentel] married on 1 Mar 1813 in Santa Cruz das Flores to Rita Joaquina [daughter of Manuel Pereira Machado and Ana Pimentel] António José dos Santos [son of Francisco José dos Santos and Ana Pimentel] married in Santa Cruz on 26 Nov 1832 to Rita São José do Coração de Jesus [daughter of Manuel Pereira Machado and Maria de São José] Since Mr. Ventura did not have the Machado clue when h searched on your behalf you might want to ask him to have another look with the new information, Is there a Francisca born c. 9 May 1842 in Flores to a Machado family? Goof luck. I am sorry that I cannot be of more help. John From: Ralph Sellars <resj...@yahoo.com> To: azores <azores@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 2:33 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Machado Would any one on this list have any information for/on a FRANCES MACHADO born c: May 9, 1842 Flores Azores ? She is my great grand Mother. Family tradition says she had a deformed hand and her parents sent her over to the States for medical treatment for the hand. It is believed she took on the surname of the family she was staying with here in the States which was JOSEPH and was AKA Fannie Joseph. She married a Manuel Lewis September 14, 1868 in Boston , Mass. using the name Frances Joseph and listed her father as Antonio Joseph. Manuel was born c: July 10, 1834 in Cedros, Santa Cruz , Flores , Azores . He was a mariner on whaling ships and when married was a fisherman out of Provincetown Mass. Six children have been recorded being born to the couple, the first son in Martha’s Vineyard , Mass. the remainder in Provincetown . The second child, first daughter, Mary Catherine b: Aug, 1869 listed on her marriage license her father as Manuel Lewis, as would be expected but for her mother was listed the single name MACHADO ! Could this be Frances birth family name? Joao Ventura, a genealogist on this list, searched the Flores records for this Joseph family line with out success before I just discovered the MACHADO reference, so perhaps some one on this list who has researched the MACHADO line may be able to shed some light on this brick wall.
