My Grandfather used the Machado last name when he first arrived in the United States. I always understood his name to be Joseph Machado Avila. I had an Italian Great-Aunt from Italy, she had the name Avila spelling as “Avilla” until the family realized it was incorrect. He was from Sao Jorge and his birthdate was Dec. 25, 1851.

My godfather was Jose Maria Faria from Stonington and my grandfather was his first cousin since his mother was a Faria. I am at work as I am opening this email, but think that then my grandfather would be your great uncle as well since they were first cousins. If you were here in 1964., when in that year since that is the year that Jose passed away. Likewise, if you met my godmother (his wife) you have met the other side of my maternal line since they all grew up within a couple of blocks of one another in Rosario/Lagoa. There is also family from the Machado line near Boston and there are some from either the Faria side or the Machado side or both in Toronto, and I have a vague memory of meeting someone (probably in 1964 or thereabouts--I was 12 or so at the time) Write back and perhaps we should also talk on the phone about some of this. Someone recently sent me a full listing of the Machado side of this, so your Faria relatives should at least show up there somewhere in his mother's line even though it doesn't go back too far. So you may the other piece of that puzzle since the Machado information went back to roughly 1100 and emigration to the Azores from the Porto region of the mainland, but it looks like the line was pretty solidly in Rosario for about 800 years, and I know there is still a cousin there from the Machado line as I met her a few years ago when we went over there. She told me that everyone else in the family had moved to Livramento (sp?) so if I ever go again, I will be trying to find those people.

The surnames FARIA & FRIAS are two different surnames. FRIAS is a different family from FARIA. However FARIA & FARIAS is a probably from the same family.

Almost all the Faria's I have encountered from PG, VF, Maia, Achada and few others, come from RG or SP RG. The exceptions I know of are from Nordeste- the Faria de Teve- and the Faria de Maia, lines which are a prominent and wealthy and well documented in RR. The more common lines appear to arise independently in RG and SP-RG. Having said this, there are probably many more from other villages. Curiously enough, I did not encounter a Teresa de Faria. Perhaps she goes by another name as well. If anyone is researching Faria in later times in Sao Miguel- 1900-1800, watch out for name corruptions. I have seen Faria turned into Farias and Frias and vice versa. So be mindful of that.

I also have Faria from S. Miguel – Matriz, Ribeira Grande, and my wife has Faria from the island of Faial. Mine is Joana de Faria, b. Matriz RG, m. to João Carvalho from S. José-PD, on 30 may 1736 in Fenais da Luz. Joana de Faria is dau. of Teresa de Faria and Antonio Raposo, both from Matriz-RG. Never researched this couple because I don´t have access to the films of RG yet. My wife is a direct descend of Ana Rosa de Jesus who married twice, deceased 14 oct 1798 in Piracema, Minas Gerais, Brazil, born in early 1700 in freguesia do Divino Espirito Santo, ilha do Faial. Ana Rosa de Jesus was daughter of Maria de Faria and Jeronimo Pereira. Her son Capitão Hipólito Antonio Pinheiro is the founder of the town of Franca in the State of São Paulo, Brasil. Many families on the 1800’s in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, Brazil, are descendants of this couple Maria de Faria and Jeronimo Pereira from the freguesia do Divino Espírito Santo in Faial. Do you know any information about them? Manoel Cesar Furtado Em quarta-feira, 3 de abril de 2013 23h00min46s UTC-3, Doug Holmes escreveu: Hi Geneva, About my Faria family. Mine came from Sao Roque do Pico, but I think before there it came from Castelo Branco, Faial. I'm going only from memory, so I might be off. There are a few branches of Faria. One is from Terceira in the early 1500s, I believe. There is one in early Faial. I think maybe the third is another from Faial or maybe Terceira. Of course, there are numerous Faria families that can't connect to these well-known families and mine is like that. Records are lost in most cases and we can't learn more. If your Faria is from Sao Miguel and you have traced it back to the beginning of the records and it's still from Sao Miguel, maybe that means there is another major branch or two or three from Sao Miguel. Whether these branches are really just the same family and beyond our ability to know it, if a Faria family arrived in early Sao Miguel and spread out from there, that would be maybe how we could have a connection by Faria. I'm not looking at Rodrigo Rodrigues and if he has anything about Faria. Maybe another can let us know. I have only his first volume and haven't looked at it for a decade.
