Hello Doug,
You're quite right in that I have seen the below mentioned references on
various documents, however I am also open to the possibility that some
priests may have been more sensitive than others by avoiding such "labels"
and instead used other forms of reference.

I just went to the link and from my limited Portuguese, I got
the impression that I have to pay $4 for each name I send in. And the

Hello Margaret,
Here's my two-bits worth:
The priests used either 'escravo,' or 'forro' (free man). I have never seen
them use the word 'negro. Also, I have seen 'da nação,' or 'Bantu,' 'da
Angola,' or other tribe or region. Also, in those times Blacks did not get a
surname. So, although I'm

JR; Hopefully sometime in the future we will all be of such mixed blood, it

Hi "E",
I have no idea if they stayed in the US.I've checked Gracia and Grace and
I'll look for them as Garcia. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know if they
stayed in Mass. or anything else about them. I was hoping maybe someone on the
list had one of the children as a grandparent
Nancy,
Do you know for sure if they remained in the US? You might also check
under Garcia. My husband had a very good friend here in CA named Bill
Gracia and sometimes people spelled his name Garcia which did not make
him too happy.

It's a beautiful name. I've searched most of today for more clues to where
they went after 1926 but they've disappeared!

Hi All
My father's maternal line was tested for Mtdna and the results came back
with haplogroup L2 which is early African in origins. I have only been
able to trace the line to 1711 so far. I suspect it is mostly Moorish
but only research will tell. I need to work some more on that line.

Whether we descend directly from known slaves or not (many white, not
black), we all likely have some "black" blood (whatever that is), not

true of all living
