Hi Mary.... that's exactly been aproblem to fin Ana de Gouveia records. Actually i cant find neither her or her husband (Antonio de Figueiro). The only reference that i have about them is on the marriage of their son Vasco moniz de meneses in 1684 when in the certificate states the names of the groom's parents and say that Ana de Gouveia is from Machico. At first i assumed that Antonio de Figueiro was from Sao Vicente, once his son was marrying there and afterwards the family settled there, but after so many researcinh i cant find any one in Sao Vicente prior of 1684 with surnames Figueiro, telo de meneses or moniz de meneses.... so i guess he comes as well from Machico or some area near that, once those family names as you said are very influential in the area....to be honest im a little lost in this because i've been trying for months to find a way to extend this search, but so far all dead end. :( Leandro
