RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese Joe Silvey - Canada

[pico]

Antonio,

You might like to contact the author. He's a native of Ribeirinha, Pico and at one time was subscribed to this list. Maybe still is.

Based on his research and the information he provided me, I found the baptism of this Portuguese Joe about 10 years ago, but I never saw this article.

There are people on this list who are related to this family, I believe, including his descendants. As you see from his father, he is one of the Simas descendants.

Best I can tell, he took the name Silva, changed it to Silvia or Silvey, but it comes from his maternal grandfather who was a Silveira and is also my distant cousin.
