Thanks. His great great grandfather was from Nossa Senhora da Luz, Ponte da
Sol, Funchal, Madeira. His name was Joao Rodrigues and Maria dos Santos.

Amaral, and Macaroco. I always heard that my uncle Jose Macaroco had a
been registered with a nickname by his grandmother (who liked a drink or
just happened to come across this site.*Rosa Emilia Jacintho was born in
Santa Cruz, on the island of Flores, in the the Azores in May of 1859. She
was the daughter of Antonio Jacintho Bicho and Maria deJesueAlmeda Bicho*
