I only have Nobregas by affinity, to my knowledge, with the exception of the mythical Ourigo da Nóbrega, who lived on the 12th century and is said to be the ancestor of the Nobrega family. In any case, the Nobregas from Camacha are with all probability the same Nobregas that appear on Caniço. The two places are close to each other, and until some point on the 17th century, if I well recall, the people from Camacha had no church and had to use the one in Caniço.
