Hi Mike,
Thank you for responding and for the information. This is interesting.
So, this Joao was born around 1828 probably in the Azores. I might have
forgotten in my earlier post that Antonio "Tony" had his parents: Joao
and Jacinta (COSTA) PACHECO from just outside of Ponta Delgada. Tony was
born ~1885, so I had guessed his parents were born in that 1850-1860
timeframe. But, I know nothing about that couple, so I don't know how
many children they had. So, a birth-year of 1828 might be a little early
but it would depend on when they married.
I'll go check out this Joao.
