Thank you JR, many of those names I have seen when looking for more connections with Balthazar Gomes + Izabel da Fonte. I found a death certificate that seems to be this Balthazar (1712) and it says, for the first time in my direct line ancestors, he is from Matriz (Vila do Porto) and that, if

Ricardo, I know Canto did his work in the latter 1800s. And Rodrigo Rodrigues did corrections and amendments in the early 1900s. Take the Achada marriage index, for example. Canto created it sometime in the late 1800s. The early Achada records are really bad - near the level of the Santa Maria

Thanks Cheri, I believe this is the end for me, he is the only first name Balthazar 20 to 25 years back of his son born in 1707, I saw the hole period and there a lot we can't read at all! Bottom Right, 5th record.

I am going to send you a few from Ponta Garca that I traced to Vila Franca with very similar names, Gomes, Baltazar, Fontes and Melo, all from, or with links to Santa Maria about the same time period. You never know, it might help and I think they are related, although it may not be

Hi Richard, I have a Baltazar Velho de Andrade born in Vila do Porto who married for the second time Catarina Velho Melo. I have only the date of his 1st marriage to Maria Andrade de Alpoim who he had no children with. Nov. 1657. Perhaps these people are connected to yours since all the names

Hello Nancy, thank you for your input, where was that marriage of 1657? Santo Espirito or Vila? I am focused on the straight line for now just to see where I can go but I also have Mello, Carvalho and of Course Chaves that I found out it came from a marriage of my 5th Grandfater, and a few others

Yea, Ricardo.It happens to all of us 100% of the time, eventually.Just think how disappointing it would be if any of your ancestors came from Bandeiras, Pico where the records START in 1850. There are some villages on Flores where it's just a little before that.But have you already found all the
