Hi Melanie, What a wonderful "Journey of Discovery," that you have gathered for you and your family. When I first viewed your input, I thought about our Madeira ancestors that came to the USA by way of Trinidad in the West Indies after leaving Madeira for reasons of religious persecution. Though to date I have not linked with the various members of this group, but continue to hold a special place in my heart... Two of our list members, have wonderful websites that focus on this migration... If you have not viewed or been in contact with these two wonderful people, their websites are located at: Deb Kleber: http://homepage.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~madeira/index.htm Bob Coraor (Coraor is a spelling variation of Correa)... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~klondike98/ Also featured on Bob's website is the publication: "The Coming of the Portuguese," by George Rawlings Poage... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~klondike98/Exiles/poage.htm. Many years ago I was sent a copy of this publication after contacting the Illinois State Historical Society, Springfield, Illinois... At the time I was hoping to link my de Freitas ancestry to these brave and dedicated individuals... but no such luck...though every now and then I continue to look at this publication... Good Luck!

They were: Caroline Pereira Born 15 July 1865 in Basseterre, St. Christopher (now St. Kitts) W.I. (God parents were: John Gumbs and Maria Gumbs (not sure if they were Husband/wife or Brother/sister) And Mary Pereira born 15 October 1867 born in St. John's, Antigua, W.I. Mary Pereira married Emanuel Teshara (Teixeira) in St. John's Antigua, W.I. on 24 September 1879- she was a minor and her guardian Maximilian Joachim made his mark (both the bride and groom signed on their own behalf). Emanuel Pereira (MY Grandfather) died in Antigua, Mary and Caroline both emigrated to New York and eventually died there (as well as Mary's daughters') . I have documentation of the 3 siblings' births, the death records of each as well as Ellis Island records for those who emigrated to the US (and Emanuel who visited his sisters). I have a number of US Census for Mary & Caroline (as well as for Mary's 2 daughters) I have been unable to find any record of Antonia Pereira and his wife Maria Gomes (ANY spelling!!) arriving in the W.I.- Leaving Madeira, marrying or etc... Anyway- there they are, Pat. Melanie . -----Original Message----- From: prt-madeira-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:prt-madeira-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Pat Corbera Sent: June-22-11 11:10 PM To: prt-madeira@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PT-MADEIRA] Surname: Pereira Hi Don, I personally do not have Antonio Pereira from the Estreito daCalheta, married/or not to a Francisca de Jesus, with a daughter Rosa/Roza de Jesus bapt 12 Oct 1897... I did find an entry on ARM Bapt Records for a child Rosa, bapt 12 Oct 1897 father: incognito and mother Francisca de Jesus (no mention of Perpetua)... Is this the entry/family that you're referring to in your posting? How have you linked Francisca and Roza to your lineage? Do you have any other info, ie: as to the names of Francisca's parents. Any other Pereiras in your ancestry?

Anything would help.
