Hi Margaret..... Very interesting story really!!! Funny enough this Vital Escorcio Drumond (b.1686) from Sao Vicente (my 11 Great-grandfather) married in 1706 with Maria Teixeira de Andrade andtheir son is Francisco TELO de Figueiro (b. 1714) whom married Ana Rosa de Jesus in 1737 were the parents of Manuel TELO de Meneses (B.1747) that married Maria de Ponte Pereira (from the Pereira Brasao family). They were the parents of Manuel Telo de Meneses (b.1772) that married in 1796 with Ana Ursula Sao Jose (Ferreira de Abreu family from Calheta). They had Francisco Telo de Meneses (b.1796) married in 1820 Ana Maria Rosa de Jesus (Franca Vasconcelos family...also from Sao Vicente) parents of Manuel Telo Junior (b.1826) that married in 1849 Francisca Perpetua da Encarnacao (Castro teixeira family from Seixal...by now my family moved from Sao Vicente to Seixal). They were the parents of Manuel Teles de Castro that married in 1883 Maria Silvestre da Conceicao and they were the parents of my Great-grandfather Manuel Teles Junior born in 1885 that emigrated to Brazil at 5 months old with his parents.
