Pat, I seem to have many Mendonca's, Gois/Goes, and I have just come across Vasconcellos, Tello and Dos Santos. For now, most seem to be from Porto Santo and one set from Madeira. My grandmother had some siblings - sisters (I hear) that went to the US but they lost contact...so I'm trying to find out their names and then see if anyone on the list is related. I have just discovered some new found cousins in Madeira who have been very helpful in filling in some gaps.

My maternal aunt (now deceased) was married to a Mendonca from Sao Roque, Madeira. What was your grandmother's name?

My grandmother was Maria Angelica de Goes Mendonca. Her parents were Antonio de Goes Mendonca and Georgina Paula de Goes. I suspect that somewhere along the line they must have been related given the similar surnames, but still haven't figured that part out.
