HI Paulo, how have you been? Thank you for your help. I will request the record based on your information below. I understand about the other couple having common names. I am also researching de Freitas, and as you know on Madeira that is like looking for a needle in a haystack! There are so many Freitas with same given names it really makes you work hard! Thereward is always worth it! Denise In a message dated 1/10/2006 1:36:08 A.M.

Hi Bob, You should start your research on the Madeira line by looking into the following record: João Pereira Camacho, m. Antónia de Freitas in 1893, Stº António, book 1737, page 23vº. The Bazengas are a well known family here, they established themselves in Lombo dos Aguiares, I don't know when, but I think they have come from the country side, S. Vicente, I guess. On early/middle 20th century a Bazenga woman married Quirino Marques, my 1st cousin, giving origin to the Bazenga Marques, which are perhaps the most known branch of the family. As for the Machado Envangelho, I don't know if this may help, but on Henrique Henriques de Noronha Nobiliary, title VASCONCELOS, you have Joana de Barcelos Envangelho, daughter of Diogo Barcelos Envangelho, married to Baltazar Mendes de Vasconcelos, son of Jº Mendes de vasconcelos and catarina Machado de Lemos. The sons used Machado, Vasconcelos and Barcelos, but I don't know about Envangelho. This is from the Azorean branch of the Vasconcelos.

Hi Cece, It is interesting indeed taht he adopted the "Bettencourt Correia" surname. The Correia here may have 2 origins, described below: 1. Antº Jacques Phenix 2. Helena de Bettencourt 3. Rafael Jacques Phenix, b. England 4. Jerónima Soares de Sousa 5. Henrique de Bettencourt 6. Ana Cabral 7. 8. 9. Estêvão Soares de Sousa (grandson of Jº Soares de Albergaria, 2nd Captain Donatario of Stª Mª Island, and Branca de Sousa Falcão) 10. 11. Jº Bettencourt de Freitas "o Fio Seco" 12. Helena de Vasconcelos 13. António CORREIA de Sousa 14. Maria Cabral da Camara .... 23. Pº de Bettencourt 24. Mª de Freitas 25. Antº Mendes de Vasconcelos 26. Filipa de Morais 27. Rui Vaz Uzel/Unzel/Onzel, rich French man who established in Atabua 28. Guiomar CORREIA de Sousa 29. Francisco Cabral (not linked yet) 30. Branca da Câmara (not linked yet) .... 47. Jº de Bettencourt "o Velho" (son of Henry de Bettencourt "the French") 48. Bárbara Gomes Ferreira (daughter of João Gomes "o Trovador" and Guiomar Ferreira, daughter of Gonçalo Aires Ferreira) 49. João de Freitas CORREIA 50. Guiomar de Lordelo (daughter of Henrique de Lordelo and Guiomar Drummond, daughter of John Drummond, son of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall, brother of Anabela, queen of Scotland) However this last João de Freitas Correia seems to be son of Gonçalo de Freitas, F.C.R., and Maria de Valdez "Correão" (which is not the same as Correia/Correa), thus I have my doubts about this Correia origin. Even more, nor Correão nor Correia seem to have been common among the descendants of this couple, and I have some vague suspects that Maria de Valdez could have been of Jewish origin, therefore the name would be something to hide. Thus I would bet that it comes from the wife of Rui Uzel, the misterious French man who was one of the first to inhabit Atabua, probably seeking refuge for some crime commited on his homeland.

Hi Denise, As promised on an earlier post, here goes what I found about Estanislau Fernandes Neves: 1. Ana Joaquina m. in 1803, Stº António, Estanislau Friz Neves, son of 2. Antª de Jesus and Manuel Friz Neves, m.in 1773, Stº Antº, son of 3. Maria do Socorro and Antº Filipe, m. in 1749 Stº Antº, son of Francisca Roiz (from the Roiz de Gouveia, by her mother) and Fcº Friz Neves, also called fcº Friz "Namorado" ("Boyfriend/Lover" - possible mispelling on the copy, his mother Isabel de Cairos also appears as "Isabel Quaresma", which is a blatant mispelling) m. 1725 in St. Antº, son of 4. Isabel de Cairos and Fcº Friz Neves, m. 1695 in Stº Antº (these are my ancestors), son of 5. Maria Fernandes and Manuel Dias, m. 1657 Stº Antº (from here comes the "Fernandes" in Fernandes das Neves), son of 6. Diogo Dias and Maria das Neves (from here comes the "Neves") I couldn't go further, as I couldn't find this last marriage on the database. Ana Joaquina, wife of Estanislau, was daughter of José Gomes Romão (spelled Romano on earlier records), married to Ana Maria in Sé Catedral, 1760. There is another connection with the "Romanos": Maria do Socorro (see above), daughter of José Gomes, from Ponta Delgada (North of Madeira) and Antª de Andrade, daughter of Manuel Fernandes Romão and Isabel da Rosa, m. 1687 S. Martinho, Funchal. If you check these records take care, as the naturalities are more than confused. I now have fopr certain that it is José Gomes, and not Antª de Andrade, the one who is from Ponta Delgada. Estanislau had a brother, Raimundo Friz Neves, m. Maria Joaquina Gomes Jardim (from a Gomes Jardim branch who migrated to Sº António in mid XVIII century, from Estrº da Calheta, I call them the "Gonçalves Jardim") in 1823, Stº Antº. Hope this helps, tell me if you need some clarification or more detail.

Denise If that's all you have, my advise is: Ask the Arquivo Distrital do Funchal for the MARRIAGE parish record of Estanislaus Fernandes Neves to Ana Joaquina, in Santo Antonio, before 1820 (why do you say *about 1803*?). In this document it should be stated where they were born, and who their parents were.

Well I am looking at the record as I speak! Column says Henrique da Bettencourt Correia (clear abbreviations-my spelling!) to Dona Isabel V Inside the actual record it says Henrique de Bitancurt Correya filho of Antonio Jacque & Dona Illena de Bitancurt, ja defuncto, moradores of Canico...to Dona Isabel de Veloza filha of Cap Gonsalo de Velosa de Vasconcellos & Dona Isabel de Vasconcellos. I do have a brother for Henrigue who went by the name Manuel Soares de Betencourt who married Dona Maria de Velosa... daughter of Francisco de Velosa de Vasconceelos and Dona Isabel de Vasconcellos (and Isabel above's sister...assuming Goncalo is in error and her fathers name is actually Francisco). I do not have any thing before Antonio Jacque & Dona Illena de Betttencourt however, so don't know about the maternal great grandmother connection you mention below.

I have been see the e-mails flying either about Roll Call or my List. So I am thinking everyone is sending out information about there family research. I hope that is what is going on. So if any can help out on the following would be great. For the Azores, I have the following. My grandparents on my mom's side are from Terceira. Her father is from the village of Santa Barbara last name is da Costa, His name was Jose Corriea da Costa and was born to Manuel Machado da Costa and Anna da Jesus d' Azevedo. My mother's mother parents where from the village of Ribeirinha or Ribeirinha Serra, ( they might be one in the same not sure). my mother grandmother was Maria Candida Pacheco Ferreira born to Francisco Pacheco Ferreira and Francisca Candida de Silveria. Her grandfather was Antonia Machado Evangelho born in Brazil, and moved back to the Azores when he was 2, ( this is where Brazil comes in to play. I have no idea or information about my great-grandfather, except that he might or he was born in Rio, I was told good luck on finding anything at all on him) his parents where Antonia Machado Evangelho and Maria do Carmo Evangelho (they where 3rd cousins). For my Dad, his mother was Rosa Correa Reis born to Jose Correa dos Reis and Maria da Veiga in the village of Santa Cruz Graciousa, his father was born on the island of Madeira , his name was Jose Pereira Camacho, born to the parents of Joao Pereira Camacho and Antonia de Freitas Basenga in the village of Santo Antonio. Any information or idea would be helpful. Of if any of the names match let me know.

Hi again, Looking for info on Francisco Goncalves de Freitas of Pico do Fucho, Sao Martinho, Funchal. He was married to Thomasia Joaquina also of Pico do Funcho. Their son was Manuel Goncalves de Freitas that was married to Julia Candida da Silva about 1856. Julia's parents were Manuel da Silva and Maria Joaquina. Any help is appreciated.

Hello all and Nappy New Year, I am looking for information about my ancestors Estanislaus Fernandes Neves and his wife Ana Joaquina. They were from the Santo Antonio parish of Funchal, in an area known as Quinta do Leme. The were married about 1803 in Santo Antonio, so my guess on their birth years is about 1780 or so. I am looking for their parents names at this point and anything else about them. One child I know of is Maria Gregoria de Jesus born about 1820 in Terra Cha, Santo Antonio, Funchal. She was married to Manoel Joaquim Lopes Serrao who was from Sao Martinho, Funchal. The name Estanislaus is not too common so I am hoping someone may have come across it. Any help would be appreciated. Denise de Freitas d'Antona

Hi David, I thought not, though it was a coincidence, as she was an Agrela too (but an Agrela *Coutinho*, she insisted). :) I'm now looking into my Calheta lines, please tell me if you need some help with a particular record, it could be that it is on the microfilms that I've requested.

Hey Bob, Pereira Camacho is a well known family here, but there are a few of them so you'll have to be more specific. I know one family that currently lives in Chamorra (we call it the boat house, as they used to feature a ship made with lights during Christmas, using the shape of their balcony). Another branch I know is one of my aunts by marriage, I guess those lived near S. Roque, tough I'm not sure. I seem to recall also a Pereira Camacho family living at Casas Proximas, near the Church, when the pneumonic plague came into Stº António in the early years of 20th century. They appear on the list of the affected, if I well recall, on the little book about the Parish of Stº António by Pde. Augusto da Silva. If you provide me more data perhaps I would be able to find more.

Cece, I would bet it is the same person, and the name was mispelled, as often occured due to lack of attention from the priests. I'm intrigued by the "Correia" on his name. It probably comes from his maternal great-grandmother Guiomar Correia de Sousa, of unknown ancestry, wife of the French born Rui Vaz Onzel/Uzel, the source of the Uzel surname in Madeira, which was also adopted later on by the Barons of Uzel for their title. Are you sure this Henrique used "Bettencourt Correia"? That combination was found most often on the Torre Belas (Correia family), I wonder if he was using it to look like one of them?
