Rich, thanks for the response. I will look into Kathy doing some research for me. I am sure she will be better at it than I am. I wasn't sure of which researcher you were referring to but Kathy's name came up. I do have a Boucher line but they are not from the Taunton area to my knowledge. The first generation came from Canada and moved to New Bedford. One never knows if there is a connection until we compare the tree. Thanks for the information.

Kathy Cardoza, the webmaster for the Azores GenWeb, lives in WA state. She maintains the website which happens to have a list of researchers on it here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/index.html#researchers One of the researchers, George Pacheco, is a researcher who operates out of the North Dartmouth, MA FHC.

Hello Don, 1) Lopes is a patronymic - it comes from Lopo. Just as Rodrigues comes frøm Rodrigo, Henrique from Henriques, Gonçalves from Gonçalo, Fernandes from Fernando or Fernão and so on. If you were Scottish you woiuld be Mc Wolf, if jewish Ben Lopo,. As you're from Portuguese stock you're Lopes. the suffix "es" fulfills the role of "Mac", or "Ben" meaning "son of". 2) Your ancestor's full name is André (not Andrés) Fernandes Lopes. Here you have to consider that in that time the first name, comes from father, second from mother. So if you're looking for the agnatic line (Paternal) you should be looking for a Fernandes. The Lopes may, I stress "may" come from the female side, and some female could be called Lopes as well, because she is descended from a Lopo. So you probably, as you were correctly told, do not descend from the first Lopes who settled in the island. You may descend, however, from one of the Lopos (plural of Lopo) who settled in the island. So I would search for any Lopo instead, and bearing in mind that this could be from André's mother. In that time ( and not only), the Gonçalves, Rodrigues, Fernandes and Lopes are very abundant and as such quite difficult to research. You could ask to find out whether André Fernandes Lopes had a "testamento" (a will) or not. The name of the witness of his marriage, and of "padrinhos" of his sons and daughters baptisms may help a bit too. Unfortunately Ponta do Pargo is not one of my areas in Madeira. Hope this has clarified something, Best wishes, Miguel

Pat, I hired someone from the States who did most if not all the research in Utah. No relation, and there is definitely a St Anthony's Church in New Bedford.

I know from reading the e-mails on this list that the people on this list are much better at Genealogy than myself. I have traced my family tree to Ponta do Pargo and to Andres Fernandes Lopes born about 1620 in Ponta do Pargo. I was told by the researcher that the Tome 2 was missing from Ponta do Pargo and therefore we could not go any further back in time. I was also told and I find this hard to believe that the First Lopes on the Island and the city of Funchal is not related to Andres?

Does anyone know if the Mormon church has on file copies of the passport records from ARM? The ones I am looking for are from 1870 and earlier! Thanks   Philip Rodrigues http://rodriguesfamily.tribalpages.com/

Teresa, Synthetising what is below 1) you have the several spellings of the name Rebelo: Rhabelo, Rhabello, Rabêlo, Rebêlo, Rebelo, Rebello, Revel, Ravel, Rabelais, 2) Besides the possible Portuguese origin of that name: from the Rio Douro area, (North of Portugal) . From there in the 15 th century some Rebelos (or at least one) settled in Madeira. Before that they may have come from Italy or France. and 3) the meaning of the name the name means someone who lives near a river. Or can also be a boat, like the rabelo from rio Douro. Or some part of a plow. Possible Germanic origin.

A origem da família Rabello é italiana, migraram para a Galícia, tendo antes passado pela França, e da Galícia para a região do Rio Douro, em Portugal. Também se escreve Rhabelo, Rhabello, Rabêlo, Rebêlo, Rebelo, Rebello, Revel, Ravel, Rabelais, dependendo da época e região. Talvez os Rabelatto sejam aparentados. A origem é multiétnica, descendem de famílias da Campânia, de Florença, de judeus italianos e zíngaros, tendo posteriormente ligações "de sangue" com famílias da Provença, da Galícia e da região do Rio Douro, como os Magalhães e os Montes, só para citar dois clãs. Ainda há Rabellos na Itália e na Galícia (Espanha), onde ajudaram a refundar Santiago de Compostela. Conheci vários descendentes de Rabellos italianos, galegos e portugueses. Com a Côrte portuguesa vieram três irmãos de sobrenome Rabello, de Salvador um foi para Recife, os outros dois para o Rio de Janeiro, tendo um deles ido para as Minas Gerais e seus descendentes em parte migrado para São Paulo e Paraná. Mas desde o século XVII existem Rabellos ou Rabêlos no Brasil, e desde o século XVIII Rebellos ou Rebelos, todos de origem portuguesa. Os de origem italiana começaram a migrar para o Brasil em seguida. A forma do nome Rabêlo ou Rebello (etc) surgiu por erro de cartório. Existe o brasão de origem italiana, o da família Rabello de Portugal e o da família Rebello de Portugal, mas a origem última da família, a mais antiga, é provavelmente a Campânia, no Sul da Itália. Hoje a família se espalha pelo mundo. Rabello pode significar rabiça do arado ou barcos para transporte de vinho (no Rio D'Ouro), e as velas do barco, por extensão. Eram proprietários de terras às margens do rio D'Ouro, em Portugal.

As I and some more people here are descended from the Vaz Rebelos, a well known family from the beginning of the 17 th century (Madeira) which settled mostly in S. António (Madeira) it's possible that your Rebelos come from them. Best, Miguel de Castro Henriques On Sat, Dec 17, 2011 at 7:33 PM, Teresa Baclaan <baclaant@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello.
