Hi Eric
I can't establish a connection to Jose Maria da Silveira so I was wondering

Al,
I've seen many records where a priest was listed as a padrinho. Since both
Manuel Lourenco Matias and Mariana de Jesus were born with *pai
incognito*there may have been a lack of male relatives.
Since a purpose of a padrinho is to direct spiritual growth, having a
priest would ensure that.

I have her baptism record which shows her birth date as 25 July 1872 in the

Hi Eric
I want thank you very much for your help. I think from what you have
provided that Jose Maria da Silveira was the person that I was looking for. The
bad news is that I don't have any of those names in my file. So I can't

Your message was very interesting, but I think I would have to prove that

My father was Manuel J. Sequeira born 1891 New Bedford MA. When he was the
age for schooling he was sent to Flores for private tutoring. My cousin say
he stayed at my grandmother's uncles place. She says that this uncle was a
Cardinal who had his own crest and lived in a mansion. My
Hi Cheri
I do not have the uncle's name. He supposedly lived in a big house with a
stone fence and pillars that you went through to get to the house. He also

The postion of Cardinal is not an integral part of the theological

Since the 1200s they have been appointed from outside
Rome, but assigned to a church in Rome. I'd guess that the uncle had

Al,
A History of the Azores Islands names the only two: Jose da Costa Nunes
and Humberto de Sousa Medeiros (pp. 454-455). Neither Cardinal was born on
Flores or retired there. I checked the Bishops section and didn't find any
in that time period either. Could this uncle have been a priest and
