Donald, I am not sure if you speak Portuguese, but the Conselho da Calheta has a website www.cm-calheta-madeira.com The English version seems to be under construction. Sitio do Pinheiro is often featured in their newsletter. I think this year they opened a Social Centre there. Anyway, good luck.

Baptism documents for various relatives baptized in the Church of Sao Braz, Arco da Calheta, show that they were residents of Pinheiro which I'm guessing is within walking distance of the church. Where is Pinheiro in relation to Arco da Calheta? Can anyone tell me about this place and its history? D. Rodrigues ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers.
