Hi Cheryl, I don't seem to have the names you mentioned. Do you know where they were from on Madeira? Denise D'Antona In a message dated 1/11/2007 4:12:31 P.M.

I have Germano de FREITAS and Carlota JOQUNA; Joao de FREITAS (1846-1900) and Silvania Baptista da CONCEICAO (B: abt 1853); Luiza de FREITAS (1870-1951) and Querino FERNANDES (D: 1896) Please let me know if that fits into your research. These folks all ended up in Hawaii (I don't know on Germano and Carlota) Thanks, Cheryl Hamm
