[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hell All, Celeste, your file oped o.k for me. thanks. Pam you would have at least some of the same Brazil people as I have. I was lucky and came across a site http://www.jcultura.com.br/gde_fam/ this has given me a wealth of information. I recognised person no 1. on this family tree as an uncle (g.g.x?) that my aunt had told me about when i was a child. since then I have found several definite people on the site. one who would tie in with you is Estevao Rosa b. 1721 S. Mateus m Maria Antonia. It seems they went to Brazil ESTEVA ROSA B. S. MATEUS 1721 | MARIA TERESA DE JESUS (PEREIRA MACEDO) personal communication with Rod Brum de Silva. | ANA MARIA DA ASSUNCAO | FRANCISCO PERIERA DE MACEDO +1888 (info on wikapedia) (1st baron & viscount of Serro Formosa). FRANCISCA ROMANA DE MACEDO 26.1.1796 - 11.8.1869 | MARIA JOSE DE MACEDO COUTO 18.22- 8.12.1889 m JOAO EVANGELISTA DE NEGREIROS SAYAO LOBATO (Vicount Sabara) FRANCISCO DE PAULA DE NEGREIROS SAYAO LOBATO Chief justice of Brazil. this is just some of what i have been able to determine. I also have other info. So you may be able to find some of your line and so might Bob as there are a number of Evangelistas. i know that there are other Azoreans sprinkled in all this lot, e.g MANOEL DE MACEDO MADRUGA b. Pico d.5.6.1810 R.S. | MANOEL DE MACEDO BRUM SILVEIRA b.1760 PICO d.16.11.1816 R.S Unfortunately this site is difficult to navigate and it has taken me ages to piece things together. I have lots more but am out of time now. I hope it is of interest and fills some holes. I just wish I spoke Portugese. regards, christine On Apr 4, 2:56 am, fuji...@sbcglobal.net wrote: > Hi Christine, > > Ignes Pereira Macedo and Francisco Costa Goulart are also my 5th great- > grandparents on my grandmother's side.

Hello Christine, Sorry to take so long to get back to you but I work and have a lot of commitments. My Macedos are from Pico also. They are from Lajes.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hi Christine, Ignes Pereira Macedo and Francisco Costa Goulart are also my 5th great- grandparents on my grandmother's side. My line is from their daughter Rita Inacia Macedo who is Catharina sister. Like you, I also can't find anything about Francisco or Apolonia. Francisco Costa Goulart is also on my grandfathers line, when he was married to Catherina Dias Machado. Their daughter Maria Gularte married Manuel Costa Medeiros in Candelaria in 1721. I'm also interested in the Brazil information. I'm just starting my Step-Dad's family. His mother Ana Jesus was born in Brazil and moved with her parents Antonio Silveira Machado and Ana Jesus to Ribeirinha,Terceira. Ana married Antone Machado Coelho in Ribeirinha before they immigrated to California.I have very little information because my dad's mother died when he was a young boy.

I don't know Chris. These names came up in connection with my husbnd, Bob's, paternal grandfather born in Pico. Since they are not direct lines to Bob, I don't have any other information on them. There is a possibility that they could have been in Pico, I just thought if you exhausted all avenues, you might try looking for them in Sao Mateus, Pico. You could try the University of Minhos site since it is on line.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hi Christine Most of my family are from the Island of Terceira. The story that was told to me was my G-grandfather family moved to and from Terceira to Brazil for work, he and maybe one other brother or sister was born in Brazil. I was told my G-grandfather Antonio Machado Evangelho was born in Brazil and moved back to Terceira at the age of 2 years old, he grew up in the village of Ribeirinha,Terceira, he left the village at the age of about 18 to 20 years old and move to the USA, and lived and moved around in the State of CA and died in Santa Cruz, CA. his wife, my G-grandmother was also from the village of Ribeirinha and moved to the USA at the age of 17 and married my G-grandfather. Now for the name of Evangelho yes it could have been change as it was changed a few times in the USA. When he came to America he was listed as Antonio Machado Evangecho and when he was in the states he had to register for the Army for WW1 and it was put down as Antonio Machado Evanglieo and when he got his worked her and got his SS# he was listed rest of his life as Evangelo, I did find a brother that come to this country too and he was listed as Jose Machado Evangelho and there are many Evangelho in CA area. Also I am not that I know of related to the Pico Macedos. But as someone once stated either on this site or another one that we are all related some how or another if we came from the Islands.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hello Maria Elena, Celeste, Nancy Jean and Bob Thank you all so very much for your information.It will take me a while to digest it. Bob who were your Pico Macedos? I have noticed that the names seem to change in Brazil. could Evangelho have become Evangelista or are they different. Celeste, is anything at all known of the history of the Fonseca family. Could they originally have come from Terceira? My aunt told me the family originally came from Portugal to Terceira. Maybe I will yet get a match to the Macedo DNA my cousin Peter Macedo supplied.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hi Chris, I enjoy this group and the avenue it provides for finding "kin" as we say in the south! In our case I guess we're 1/2 cousins! Ines Pereira Macedo was the 2nd wife of Francisco Costa Goulart. Your grandmother, Catarina Nascimento was their 1st child of 8. Born 12-16-1710 her sister, Rita Inacia Macedo, married Jose Rodrigues Medeiros, b. 8-13-1718, son of Joao Rodrigues Serpa, b. 2-21-1683 and Ana Medeiros, b.9-18-1689...They had 8 childrenJose was the brother of Josefa Maria Conceicao,b. 4-20-1721, she's my gggarndmother! (on my grandmothers side)So there's that connection by marriage..but also, on my grandmothers side I'm related by the 1st wife of Francisco Costa Goulart, her name was Catarina Dias Machado, and she had 2 children with Francisco, the second was, Beatriz Santo Antonio,b. 2-12-1706, she was also ggrandmother on my grandmothers side but to my grandmothers husband..(my grandfathers line was da Castro) It's all very confusing in that line because there were so many cousin marriages.. My ggrandmother, Ludovina Felizarda da Castro was 1st cousin to her husband, Manuel Furtado Cardoza... I guess it's a good thing they left Candelaria for a little outside DNA when they did!

Most of the immigrants that are Portuguese in USA, are from the Azores. Anytime you ask one where you from? They will tell you Portugal.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hello Nancy Jean, Yes, I am so pleased to find another cousin, Ines Pereira Macedo is my g.g.g.g.g.grandmother and the others are her children and grandchildren as I guess you know. Catharina Nascimento (Pereira Macedo) is also the daughter of Ines Pereira Macedo and is my direct line but the name has been entered diferently in various databases and is hard to track. The name of Ines's parents appears in a couple of the databases as Francisco Lopes da Fonseca and Apolonia Candias, both died In 1717. they do not appear in the Candelaria database but were in the Castelo Branco database, This is where the Macedo line vanishes and my aunt told me the family came from Portugal but I'm sure there were relatives in the Azores. I would love to hear anything you can tell me. best regards.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
*Hello Christine: Regarding Jose Andrade Macedo, your grandfather who went to the goldfields in Australia: I searched the Public Records Office Victoria website under digitized records - Here's what I got. I am sending you the link. If this is him, it would be a beginning to find time frame when he was there. Also, I am familiar with the port information. F means the ship left from a foreign port and B is British port. But I don't know what the N means. But I'm sure we can find out. He left from Brazil. http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search_results.asp As you see, there is a J. A. Macedo, age 34 and 3 other Macedo's listed (one I think could be his wife?) This could be a start to finding out more about him. The year seemed a little out of the range of when people were going to the goldfiends. His year of travel in 1891 seemed a bit late to me (but who knows). My ancestors were in the 1850's. The next link I'm sending is the passengers who were on the ship that my husband's ancestors were on, The Water Lily (Waterlily) in November 1853. These were all people from the Azores and there are Perreira's as well as an "DANDRADE"These people not only knew each other, but I' finding out that that many times, they were related. I'll explain more below. http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search_results.asp?upto=1&cont=yes&month_to=11&year_to=0 (I was surprised how many ancestors went to the Goldfields of Australia from the Azores. By the way, I received tremendous help from members of the goldfields list in Australia. Maybe you already belong to that. Let me know if you need the link.) You said your grandfather left his son in New Zealand and traveled with his daughter to Argentina. This is what happened to my husband's 2 great grandfathers. The father left them there in Australia and returned to the Azores. (I suppose he set them up in business; this is one of those mysteries that I can't figure out regarding them.) They both eventually returned to the Azores. My husband's 2 great grandfathers were registered on the Waterlily as being 16 and 19 when they boarded the ship, and they went with their father, A. J. de Lima. I also discovered that A. J. de Lima's brother in law, J. J. Borges was also on the ship. Many of the other names also seem like names in the ancestry but I can't prove it yet. I only knew the J. J.'s because I happened to know their full names and found articles with their names in the Creswick and Clunes Register and Advertiser (I think that was the local newspaper and the de Lima's were listed more than 18 times. I sent away and got all the articles relative to them and could almost write a little biography about them. Pretty cool to reach back in time and almost see a movie of their lives in the goldfiends. I do hope you can find out more about Jose Andrade Macedo. (P. S. I recently discovered the name Andrade in my research.) I will forward your email to my daughter in law her and her mom. Hopefully this is helpful.

Hi Maria, I would be most grateful if you could talk to your daughter in law for me. Also I noticed in one of your previous postings that you had ancestors who went to the N.S.W. goldfields in Australia. My G.Grandfather Jose Andrade Macedo also went to the N.S.W. goldfields after visiting relatives in Brazil. I don't know exactly when, but I could probably find out. He then went to New Zealand and after that to Argentina. He left a son in N.Z. (my grandfather) but took his granddaughter to Argentina along with his daughters. It is this family in Argentina that I am going to visit, before going on to Rio. At least some of the realitives in Brazil were from the Azores ( at least one from Pico that I know of ) and some from Sao Miguel and a descendant was Francisco Pereira Macedo 1806-1888, 1st Viscount of Serro Formosa. His daughter was Maria Jose De Macedo Couto 1822 -1889 (from Sao Miguel I think). Maria married Joao Evangelista de Negreiros Sayao Lobato, Viscount Sabara. Their son was Francisco de Paulo Negrois Sayao Lobato, Cheif Justice of Brazil. There is very little else I know, Does any of this tie in with your daughter in law?. Another ancestor is Nicolau Pereira do Campos Verugiro, died 1859, who was born in Macedo de Cavaleiros in Portugal and became a Brazilian senator.
