Hi, My lines are Rodrigues Ferreira of Acro da Calheta, Pestana of Camara da Lobos, and de Abreu of Funchal. Wondering if any of your ancestors went to Demerara, South America as I am trying to bridge the gap.

Hi Paula, If you list some of the names that you're researching, it's possible that I have some of your Rodrigues Ferreira ancestors, but not from Arco da Calheta... some of the individuals I have with that surname, I do not have a location listed for, other than Madeira... Same holds true for your Pestana and Abreu surnames. I have relatives that migrated to South Africa with the surname of Freitas and da Silva Se'.
