The talk about early Afonsos gpt me looking around my tree, I have found a couple, Amaro AFONSO & Antonia FERNANDES, who are Luis Beal and my common ancestor. They were married in Estreito da Calheta in 1618. I have a note from Luis that says that only her parents are named on the marriage record and that their names appear to be Francisco (I believe this first name is the question) DELGADO and Francisca FERNANDES. Now in looking around my tree and ARM, I have found 2 possibilites around the right time frame to be this Francisca Fernandes and her Delgado husband. The ARM one is a marraige in Camara de Lobos-1592- between a Joao Delgado and a Francisca Fernandes. I only think this is a possibility because Estreito da Calheta records only go back to 1611 (per my notes), so they would have been married elsewhere. In addition, I have another couple that is in my tree, Pedro Delgado and Francisca Fernandes (sourced as Leandro and Pat), who also have a son who married in Estreito da Calheta- the son's name was Pedro Delgado and he married in 1619 to Inacia Gomes. This one looks to be (a really good probability) the brother of my Antonia FERNANDES. So can anyone add anything to any of these people to tie them together? Cece
