Hi Rick, I am going to begin trying to piece some of this information together.... Stanley Perry matches me on a third cousin level, and he does have a Moniz line. I actually spoke with him a few days ago. Unfortunately, he did not know of a Robert, however, it is possible that Bobby is from a marriage of a female who married a Moniz, or that Moniz was one of two surnames. Who knows?
I would need to start working on his tree from a Jose Moniz born in the late 1700s in Achaddia (sp?), Sao Miguel.... Daunting task. Do you know who the common ancestor is between your dad and Stanley?
