Tetonio
Thanks again. You are absolutely right on the point you make below. I had
overlooked those well- to-do folks who left Goa for mainland India because
of political persecution.
Yes, any information (as framed by Tetonio) from Tony Correia-Afonso on the
post 1890 election 'massacre' of 20 in the Margao Church Square would be
particularly welcome.

Responding further to Cornel's question on this matter I must say that
several Goan families of «landed aristocracy» migrated to British India to
seek refuge against political persecutions in Goa during the
«liberal-constitutional» elections and in Bardez also due to alleged
support
of the Viscount of Bardez, Inácio de Carvalho, to the rebel Ranes. One
major exodus of some prominent Salcete families took place soon after the
Sept. 1890 elections in Margão, when over 20 were shot dead by the
Portuguese police on the Church square. The Correia-Afonso family seems to
have moved out on that occasion. Tony Correia-Afonso could confirm.
