Hello Linda: I was wondering how I may obtain copies of these records you have found. Please advise me further.

I do not have any information concerning your potential gg grandparents travel, however I did a look up on the films of Arco da Calheta and found the christening of Vencislau. He was christened on 22 Mar 1827, he was born on the 2nd of March. Interesting to note that on the left margin of the record it says Vencislau fo de Joao Roiz Fra. However in the record it gives the father's name as Manuel Rodrigues Ferreira (a mistake I assume) and the mother's name Margarida Antonia. Joao and Margarida were married on 14 Apr 1825 in Arco with Joao's parents being Jose Rodrigues Ferreira and Maria da Ressurecio(deceased). Margarida's parents were Antonio Rodrigues Capelo and Maria de Jesus. I hope you can actually confirm that this is your family. The genealogy goes back even further in Arco da Calheta. Do you know if Vencislau married in Madeira? > > Best of luck > Linda Teixeira Crandall > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paula Fernandes <paulamffernandes@gmail.com> > To: PRT-MADEIRA@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 1:57 pm > Subject: [PT-MADEIRA] Venceslau Rodrigues Ferreira > > > > > Any information: Trying to bridge the gap of my ancestors from Madeira to > emerara, South America.
