Maybe someone can shed some light on how long a grave site/plot is kept in Madeira. I have heard that sites/plots are only kept for 7 years. If that's true what then happens with the remains in that site/plot?

Hi Janette, I've posted a message on another list group that I participate in, hoping that someone on that group will supply source information. I've checked Noronha's work and didn't see the "Gois de Mendonca titulo listed... also check Genea Portugal (Sapo), there's a couple of individuals listed with Goes and Mendonca in their surnames, but I was unable to access the paid portion of that site for source information.

Canhas is a parish in Ponta do Sol. It is just north of the village. I suspect you can get some detailed info from their website at www.cm-pontadosol.com Sitio is a neighbourhood. Levada is a small water channel. The south of Madeira would not be able to have sustainable agriculture if it weren't for the levadas which bring water from the north. That was one of our people's greatest achievements (among others). Cova could refer to a small valley or something surrounded. In Madeira it also means a cemetery plot or a hole in the ground. Today, these places can still be identified, normally by older people. In the old days, outside of Funchal, there were a few street names. In village centers such as in Machico, Santa Cruz or Porto Santo there were some street names. Obviously today that has changed. Good luck on a detailed map!
