Do you know her parents? I have a Josefa Bettencourt  daughter of Francisco Martins and Mariana Bettencourt  about the same time frame. Their children were  Escolástica, Sebastião Martins, Josefa de Bettencourt and João Martins in São Roque.   Cheers Philip Rodrigues http://rodriguesfamily.tribalpages.com/ ________________________________ From: Thomas Freitas <family@railsoft.com> To: cece@soccer4all.com; prt-madeira@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 10:35:04 AM Subject: Re: [PT-MADEIRA] de Sá Family Oops, sorry I thought this message was for me...

I recognized your e-mail address and name from the prt-Madeira list. You are the first Portuguese Madeiran surname to have hit that high for him. His other 3 - 25 marker matches have English sounding surnames (Collins, Beller, Blayney). Unfortunately Ed's direct paternal line (which is also my paternal line) ends after just 3 generations as our great grandfather was an orphan... Is your tree online anywhere?
