Hi John, I was looking through Saudades Livro IV this morning and it says Catarina Escorcia (married to Francisco Afonso das Cortes) was the daughter of Joao Goncalves Ferreira, da Serra de Agua and his wife Catarina Afonso. It says Joao descends from Belchior Goncalves Escorcio who is one of the sons of Branca Afonso Drummond and Belchior Goncalves Ferreira. Do you have access to that book? If so, The chapter they are in starts on page 125. The info about Catarina Escorcio is on page 127 bottom right corner paragraph. Then if you look at Noronha's Nobiliario, he says Belchior Goncalves Escorcio married Ana Ferreira 9 Jan 1563 in the Se of Funchal. It shows their son Joao aka da Serra da Agua, relocate to Sao Miguel with his wife Catarina Afonso, but only shows two children, Afonso Goncalves Ferreira and Pedro Goncalves Ferreira...No mention of Catarina. Any thoughts? Denise D'Antona In a message dated 7/8/2007 9:41:48 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jroias@rogers.com writes: Thanks, but I cannot find anything attached.
