RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Medeiros of Faial and PIco
Hi Doug and cousin Pat, I am back home and starting to settle in again. I will continue to read all the posts and check my files to see what help I may be able to share with our wonderful group. Thanks to Cheri also for a wonderful job of keeping us interested and together.

They are my 12th ggrandparents. I'm sure that Emil has much more to add.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Medeiros of Faial and PIco
Hi Doug, Possibly a point of interest. Maria Alfonso Medeiros is shared as the 13th great grandmother of Decio and myself. I am traveling and will be back home in Orlando by the end of the week. Maybe I can add more to the subject then, or maybe not. Emil - Original Message - From: p...@dholmes.com To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:00:32 - (UTC) Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Medeiros of Faial and PIco If you do a lot of research in Faial records, you will surely notice many Medeiros families. Many of them undoubtedly also settled in Madalena and other Pico villages. Just now I was looking through the genealogies of the island of Graciosa called:Livro de Genealogias da Ilha Graciosa - Mateus Machado Fagundes d'Azevedo It was there that I found mention of possibly the first person named Medeiros on Faial. Her name was Maria Afonso de Medeiros, wife of Diogo Afonso Picanço.It says they were the original settlers of Faial and lived in Praia do Almoxarife. While I thought there was a great chance the Medeiros of Faial and Pico were originally from São Miguel, the fact that Maria Afonso de Medeiros came from the city of Faro on the mainland leads me to now believe she could be the source of Medeiros for these islands. I don't know if he's on this list, but an old friend of mine in Brasil named Décio de Medeiros, whose Medeiros family came from Faial, might know more about this. Maybe he will chime in here. There could be more early Medeiros people who settled in Faial with other origins. I have an ancestor named Pedro Vieira de Medeiros living in São Roque do Pico. But neither of his parents used Medeiros. I suspect his grandfather might have been one Gonçalo de Medeiros born in the late 1500s and living in Bandeiras, Pico. He could be a grandson of this Maria Afonso de Medeiros - just a guess, though.
