Hi cousin Pat,
I am glad that you found some useful information in the update. A few
years ago Dot and I were able to get her mother's adoption records opened and
that led us to Prince Edward Island, Canada and her mother's scottish ancestry.
We went there and met her mother's only living brother who was in a nursing
home and had never knew he had a sister. It was a great experience. He treated
us as though he knew us all his life and was extremely happy as were we. Please
don't wait if you can go to visit your Canadian relatives, our tomorrows are
often wasted. Dot's uncle Finlay died a few months after our visit with him,
but he is still alive in our genealogy and grateful memories. We meet many
cousins and have made many new friends.
Emil

Cousin Emil,Thank you so much. You simply amaze me!!! My Toronto Canada Pico
relatives told me I would have to visit them to get the details. Never know. I
might hop a plane one day. I do know that one of the Machado Avila sons, not
sure which generation, did move to Terceira.

California Hello Patricia Phillips, My grandmother, Maria da Conceicao
Avila born in Ribeiras, Pico in 1873 is from the Machado Avila line from
Ribeiras, Pico. My great Uncle,Manuel Machado Avila, b. Feb 10, 1878 had 2
sons but I have no names or birth dates, all from Ribeiras, Pico. His one
daughter, Maria Moniz Jorge was born in Ribeiras abt 1908. They immigrated to
Toronto, Canada. Maybe those sons island hopped? My ggrandfather, Manuel
Machado Avila b. July 1, 1790 in Ribeiras, Pico had 2 sons that I have
birthdates on & no further information. Antonio Machado Avila b. Jan 19, 1837
& Jose Machado Avila b. March 17, 1841. Maybe, they island hopped too. The
ones that did immigrate changed their names just as yours did, Machado to Avila
& also Avilla. Good luck in your search..... Patricia Las Vegas, NV
