Joe, Although I don't have that family in my line (yet), a bunch of us in the group have ancestors from Vila Franca (I descend from the Furtado Lourenco line). Have you considered doing a DNA test? It helps find cousins and gives you a breakdown of your ancestry. I bet you would match with a lot of us on here! On Feb 23, 2014 11:22 AM, "Joseph Costa" <jwcosta0...@gmail.com> wrote:
