While I live in Canada, my mother's family is Guyanese. Like all West Indians we are of mixed heritage; however, my maternal grandparents' surnames are Portugese. I believe that many of my ancestors immigrated to Guyana from Madeira in the early 19th century. Pertinent names include the following: DeFrance and D'Arcy on my grandfather's side and Gorsira and DaSilva on my grandmother's side. How many Madeiran West Indians out there still eat garlic pork at Xmas? :)

Hi, I am looking for any and as much information as I can. I am doing a college project for my genetics class, plus I'd love to have the information for myself and to share with my family. As the Pitta Family I know that my relative Jose Amaro Pitta was born on the island Madeira. He married Maria Fernandes de Assoni who also was born on Madeira. They some how moved to Brazil then came on a ship to California. Had a son Manuel on the ship from Brazil to USA. After arriving in Claifornia they had 4 more children. 2 girls and 2 boys. Manuel is my great grandfather. As for Nunes I know I have a relative Manuel Nunes who moved from Portugal to Oahu, Hawaii in 1879. He had 2 wifes. Not sure where in Portugal he is from and really don't have a lot of information about him except that after living in Hawaii he invented the Ukelele and his son August helped him build Ukelele's. His son August was born in 1876 and died in 1938. He married Mary Gomes Romao who was born in 1870 and died March 1949. Her parents were Manuel Gomes Romao and Louise Nunes. Not sure where in Portugal they were from? Any information would be great Please Contact me. THANK YOU

My great great grandfather was Jao Evangelista De Souza who was married to one Antonia De Souza from Madeira , Portugal. They must have lived there from about 1835 until coming to St. Vincent, West Indies, some time around 1853/54. Their first child born there was named Mathilda, born 15 March 1854 & died soon after. The eldest son was named Antonio Agostimbro De Souza, born November 20th, 1856. He apparently went back to Madeira when he was 8 years old and supposedly lived there until his death. There were four other children, Augusto, Mathilda, my great grandmother, who was married to John Sardine. If anyone has a lead to a De Souza family in Madeira or who has a connection to Antonio Agostimbro De Souza, please contact me at my e-mail address. Thank You .

I am helping my mother-in-law do some research. Her great-grandmother Lauria (could be Laura) Ferreira (B.1-9-1832) went to Jacksonville, Illinois from Madeira Island when she was 13 yrs. old, in 1845. According to oral family history her and her brother Manuel Ferreira were the only ones alive, the rest of the family had been murdered. Lauria was sent to American and Manuel stayed in Madeira. Laura received a letter from Manuel in 1861 from Port of Spain Trinidad. We do not know who Lauria married but she had a daugher named Marsha Hilt, she married A.H. Smith (Buda). They had two daughters Blanche Ilene (married a Sieh) and Bernice Lillian (married a Tompkins). Bernice had two daughters Lois (died Aug 1995) and Peggy. Blanche had a daughter named Katey Burton and there is also the name Tracey Burton, we do not know if she was Blanche's daughter or grand- daughter. Any information especially if anyone knows what happened to Manuel would be greatly appreciated. From what we know most of Lauria's family has passed away.

Name: Patrick .i. Rodrigues i heard as i was growing up,
that my Madeiran ancestors ,Rodrigues were farmers , that they owned a
piece of farmland, at the time of the Portuguese/
Spanish war of the Diaspora-.Year? I do not recall.Three brothers of the
ancestors were stowed away on an onion boat , as the Portuguese
Government
was taking the youth for the military .My own father was not born in
Madeira , but in Beterverwagtin, British Guiana ,in the year 1897. I do
not know if it was my father's father ,or his father's father who
were the three brothers that escaped Madeira.The year ? I do not know.
There was a small Sephardic Jewish community in Essequibo, British Guiana
,
where evidently they lived before moving to Beterverwagtin.If all three
brothers remained in British Guiana , or two may have tried Ellis Island
,N.Y.
Just a guess . Cargo boats , carrying passengers,in those years unloaded
in Holland , or Liverpool, England .I know of a Rodrigues , whose family
escaped
the Dutch holocaust of 1939-45 , and came to America.
That is what i had heard of my father's ancestors.
My father , when his mother died , at a young age , his father remarried
,a Rosa , and there were two more children born .My father , at the age
of thirteen was called to support the two younger children , because his
father died . Sounds a bit complicated ? But i believe that i do have
that right .
My fathe was a very well known merchant M.J.Rodrigues. My mother was a
Carvalho,whose father was a Carvalho.

Traveling with him sons: John(20y), my g-g-grandfather Joseph (18y)and 2
daughters: Maria (15y) and Frances (13y). In a biographical exerpt from
the "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of Sangamon
County" (1912), about my g-g-grandfather, Joseph Fernandes, it
stated that "He was born in the Island of Madeira, in August 1832,
being the son of Antonia and Frances Fernandes. The father (Antonio) was
a gardener and came to America with a family consisting of THREE sons and
THREE daughters and his wife. I don't know who the other son and
daughter were. His son, Joseph married Lucy "D'Aquin" (best
I can decipher of spelling on the marriage license)in Sangamon County, IL
in November 1859. I cannot find any family related to Lucia immigrating
to Illinois or how she got to America. She appears to have also later
"Americanized" her name to "Kean". Joseph and Lucy
had six children: Lucy K.(my g-grandmother), Margarida (nicknamed
"Dudy"), Maria Louise, Guilhermina, Joseph and Minnie.

Name: Ray Beere Johnson II My
great-great-grandmother, Emilia or Amelia DeSilva, according to family
tradition, was born in Maderia. The 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 Censuses
all state she was born in New York, but 1870 indicates her parents were
both foreign born, and 1880 states her parents were born in Spain.
Details various family members have recalled seem to match with Joseph
(Joao Jose in the 1800 Census???) DeSilva, who was kidnapped from Maderia
on an English sailing ship and settled in Schoharie County, New York. So
far I can't find the connection between this family and Amelia, but
do know she was born about 1817, and that she married John Beer, a
plasterer from England, about 1838 - the couple lived in New York City.

grandfather (Agostinho Angelo De Nobrega) had two brothers that we know
of, and one sister. It is also noted that there could have
been more brothers and sisters. Some say there was but at this time we
don't have proof. Agostinho had a brother Frank and another brother
whom we think was named Carlos De Nobrega. Agostinho A De Nobrega
married Anna Maria Walsh in 1885. They had fiev children that we are
aware of. Victoria, Guilhermina, Christina and Clement. There was
another but he died as a young lad. Anna Maria Walsh's father was
the
chief dispensor of the gen. hospital. Agostinho was an accountant as far
as we know. A remarkable note is that each member of this family had the
middle initial of (A.) Agostinho's is supposed to be from
Madeira, but we have no proof or any date that he, his brothers and
sister moved from
Maderia to British Guiana. Clement moved to New York and had three
children. Just recently we did find new family but not enough info has
been kept.
I continue my search and wish all of you happy hunting. If anyone knows
about this family please E-mail me at [email protected].

Conceicao de Freitas and Julio de Freitas are from Madeira, Portugal. My
mother's parents are Henrique de Sousa and Conceicao de Sousa.
I'm searching for my father's family, lost touch with him when I
was 14 years old (I'm born in 1973) he has a brother named Eldefonso.
His father left to Brazil when my father was born. If this sounds like
you belong to this family please feel free to contact me.

Name: R.Fernandes Does
anyone know or is related to Joseph (Santos) Fernandes ? He was born in
British Guiana in 1884 and left there around 1918 (or later?) at about 34
years old. He left behind an ex-wife, Beatrice de Souza, and 3 young
sons and we have no idea where he went to or what happened to him. It is
said he may have gone to the West Indies, the USA, Suriname, Brazil or
even Panama. He might be known as Joe Fernandes and had only one sister
called Anna Correia. His father was Luis Santos Fernandes (Madeira). I
would be glad to hear from anyone who knew him or of him, or are
decendents of him, if he subsequently remarried.

Name: Lori Sousa My Paternal great
grandparents lived in the Maderia Island in the late 1800's - eearly
1900's. Francisco Sousa Volta and Augusta Volta had 7 childern (many
who moved to the United States. I believe that they were born somewhere
between arround the 1870's. Their oldest son, John Sousa Volta (my
grandfather) was born in 1892 in Maderia Island I know that at one point
that Francisco Sousa Volta and Augusta Volta lived in Santa Cruz, Madeira
because one of their 7 childern (Joseph Sousa VOlta) was born there in
1907). I dont have as much info on my grandmother (Albina Oliva). I
believe she was also from Maderia (but may have been from Lisbon) She was
born in 1897 and then came to the United states.
Any information that anyone has on these families would be greatly
appreciated.

Name: daniel luiz Father,
Manuel Martins Luis, arrived in N.Y. when he was 17 years old, approx.
1920. He was born in San Antonio,Funchal, Madeira. Lived and worked in
Fall River, Mass. as a weaver, sample maker. Later moved to Pawtucket,
R.I., married Maria Texeira Nobrega. Dad started and sold many
businesses, ie. dairy, pharmacy, and finally a commercial laundry with
his wife, Maria, Narragansett Park Laundry in Pawtucket, R.I.. Manuel and
Maria had one child, Daniel, born march 7, 1938. Maria passed away 2 1/2
years after the birth of daniel with Meningitis. Maria was born in Fall
River, Mass. Her parents are John Ferreira Nobrega and Conceicao Texeira.
They were born in Madeira. John and Conceicao moved to Pawtucket, built
a home and remained there for the rest of their lives. They're
address was 16 Kenmore St, Pawtucket, R.I.. They had 8 children, Joseph,
Anibel, Maria, Manuel, Abel, John, Alice, and Americo. The children
still living are Alice, Anibel, and Joseph who lives in Canada. My
grandfather John Ferreira Nobrega also had two brothers who emigrated to
the U.S. and one moved to California. I believe he lived in San Antonio,
California. As told to me by my grandmother, Conciecao. John had always
planned and saved to go to California to visit his brother, but family
needs seemed to always get in the way of his plans, and there to went the
saved trip money. John also had a second brother who lived in Pawtucket.
His name was Gonsalves Nobrega. My grandfather came over by himself
intending to save some money and return to Madeira, and start a new
business after his grocery store burned down, but he became lonesome
while he was in the U.S., and asked Conceicao to come to be with him as
he worked to save the money to start over. Conceicao who had 3 babies at
the time got on a boat and came to be with John. She had to sell her gold
cross to get money to purchase extra milk for the babies. My grandmother
told me that the trip was so strenuous that when she arrived in Boston,
"a young woman had left Madeira and an old woman arrived in the
U.S.". Of course, John and Conceicao never returned to Madeira.

the "do Valle" family. We know our grandfather was French,
from Ponta do Sol, Madeira Island, His name was either

birthdate to be: August 9, 1885. He ran away from home between 1897-1901
to Oahu, Hawaii. On Oahu, Hawaii, he met and married Mary de Jesus
Supriano on March 11, 1910. A few years later they migrated to San
Leandro, CA. Where they lived and raised six children. All we know is
that he had a brother by the name of George do Valle who we believe
migrated to either Brazil or western Africa.

so far...we have just reached our first ancestors born in the 1400's.
We began our research in Santa Cruz
(off my father's baptismal), where my grandparents, Manuel da Camara
& Christina de Jesus were married before emigrating to New Bedford in
1913 with their 5 sons. It continued in Santo Antonio de Serra &
Porto da Cruz and we are now branching out to Canico with Machico being

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Fran Farrar I heard that my father's
maternal grandparents were married in Funchel,Madeira in the 1800's.
I also heard that my great grandfather John T (Theopolis?) Martin Alves
had lived in or had some connection with St. Kitts.
I don't know my portugues G-Grandmother's first name and I'm
not sure if John T Matin Alves was Portugese..I heard someone say he may
have had German blood.
My G-Grandfather settled in Sandy Parish,Bermuda and his first
born..Maria..was my grandmother.
I heard my g-grandfather was a prosperous merchant and a zelous
Prostestant..acting like a self ordained preacher.
My father never spoke of his past and I'm just hoping some one out
there may help with bits of the puzzle of my ancestory.
My grandmother eloped with a British Navy seaman and was disowned by her
father who always wanted his daughter to be a missionary.
My grandmother and her British seaman husband immigrated to the US and
was eventually deserted by her husband during the Depression.
My grandmother had US citizenship because of being born during a trip to
Fall River,Mass. in the 1890's.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Fran Farrar This is an update to what I
posted a day or two ago.
My G-Grandfather's name was John T. Martin Alves and he immigrated to
Bermuda from St. Kitts,and earlier from Funchal,Maderia in the latter
1980's.
He married a woman of German ancestery.
They had two daughter, Maria and Clarisse,Maria being my grandmother and
my fathers's mother.
My grandfathers's ancestors came from Maderia and I was told( but not
certain )by my aging father,that G- Grandfather John T. Martin Alves
married my German grandmother in Funchal,Maderia.
My father (age 82) told me today that he thinks we were related to the De
Frietas family..possibly some settling in Long Island,NYC,US
,when..I'm not sure.My father also mentioned we may have relatives
living in Barbados.
My G-Grandfather John Martin Alves,after having established permenant
residency in Bermuda, had made various trips to a Protestant teaching
seminary located in Fall River,Ma.US, because he wanted to be a
preacher.It was during one of those trips when my grandmother,Maria was
born.
My G-grandfather John T. Martin Alves,became a very well off prosperous
merchant at Sandy's Point,Bermuda. When he died he donated land to
the church of England)High Anglican?)
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Frances Farrar This is an update to point out a
MISTAKE I made citing the time frame my G-Grandfather John T. Martin
Alves settled in Bermuda. I posted the 1980's instead of the
1880's.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Frances Farrar Some of my earlier info
posted may be not all accurate :(
My father barely remembers bits and peices.
I am now believing my G-Grandfather John T. Martin Alves had left
Funchal,Maderia during the Protesant persecutions ., I think that he may
have been influenced by the "Apostle of Maderia" a missionary,
Protestant, Scottish doctor by the name of Dr. Robert Reid Kalley. I
suspect he may have spent some time at St. Kitts unlike many Protestant
exiles who went from Trindad to Springfield,Ill.USA.
I heard he was a surveyor..sometimes working in South America..doing some
work for the British and was given some land in Bermuda in Sandy Parish.
I am NOT sure all this was true..my father changed his stories alot
throughout the years.
My G-Grandfather's name may have been John T. Alves and he may added
his German wife's name..thus John "Martin Alves"

Name: Helena Vea With limited
information about my father, his name is Joaquim Faria? was born in
Portugal roughly 1954, came to Australia in the 1970's and began a
relationship with my mother Katea VEA, roughly in 1976 and I was born in
September 1977.
My father was then deported back to Portugal in roughly 1979, when I was
2 years old. He had a brother by the name of Tony. Whether that is short
for Antonio? He apparently stayed in Australia and would now be in his
50's. My father would be 50 years old this year and could possibly be
in Portugal still, after his deportation.
Apparently, apart from his brother, he also had 2 sisters - unsure of
their names.

Name: Anthony Craig I do know alot and continuing to learn more.
My family is shall we say " the lost ones" as we cound not talk
apart our heritage until it was safe too! I always had questions that
could not be answered so I decided (4 years ago) to go to Maderia. My
uncle in England told me he met one of our cousins in Maderia when he was
there for his honey moon. It so happened to be Daniela Baptista Ferriera.
When I got there they showed me alot of history that that I wasn't
sure if it was a myth or truth. They showed me where we farmed our land
How we are related to CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS and how our great great
grandfather saved him from death. I know what you are reading is really
hard to believe but it is true. If any of you are from the "mega
baptista family" and would like to correspond email me.there is much
more but that would be alot to type.

Name: Yani DeSousa Cabral I know very
little about my father's family, all I know is that he was borned in
Madeira, Portugal on May 5, to Manuel DeSousa Cabral & Maria Gonzales
DeSousa Cabral. His name, Gabriel DeSousa Cabral met my mother in
Colombia, then moved to Panama where they were married and had two
children- my brother and I. My father spoke very little about his family,
but he did say he had brothers and sisters(unknow names). He left
Madeira about the age of 15 and was a fisherman by trade. Like I said
very little info! Would love to find out more.

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Andy Mendonsa When I was
growing up my grandmother, who was married to Arthur Abner Mendonsa, told
me that his family had left the Madeira islands, because of religious
persecution and had settled in Jacksonville, Illinois when a large group
of Portugese came over from there in the 1850's. My great
grandfather was Emanuel L. Mendonsa and my great grandmother was Julia V.
Correa. Her father was Joseph P. Correa (my great great grandfather). I
believe that Emanuel L. Mendonsa came over as a child with both his
parents and his father's name was also Emanuel (I think). I have the
marriage certificate for Emanuel and Julia. They were married on June
12,1884 in Jacksonville, Ill. and Emanuel K. Pires, Pastor of Central
Portugese Presbyterian Church married them. any information you can help
me out with would be appreciated. By the way sometimes mendonsa was
misspelled with a z (mendonza). I noticed this in the anniversary
information of the portugese presbyterian churches on the madeira exiles
page. I believe the Manuel Mendonza mentioned on that page was either my
great grandfather or great great grandfather, but has been mispelled. It
was originally spelled mendonca, with an accent mark over the c. after
they came to the states it was changed to an S. Even today our name is
often mispelled with a Z or mispronounced as Mendoza. Please contact me
if you have any blanks you can help to fill in. thanks, andy mendonsa

my grandmother was Carolina de Freitas, my grandfather was Manuel de

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Alberto Durão Coelho I am not sure if
my great grandmother came for Madeira or from Azores. My father used to
say that she was an "ilhoa" (somebody who was born in one of
the portuguese Islands). Her name was Guilhermina Durão, a very strong
personality who was able to raise alone her children in Rio de Janeiro of
the times of monarchy and slavery. Not only to raise her children, but to
raise the socioeconomical anda cultural status of the family to a very
significant level. She was born in 1831, I know because of the burial
documents that dont mention birth and naturality. Her husband died when
my grandfather was 28 months of age, so he had no importance in his
education. From this greatgrandfather, I know everything to the begining
of the XVII century, but what I would really like to know is the history
of the heroine of the family, his wife Guilhermina Durão, an
"ilhoa".

Name: Gerald John de Lacey My mother, Elsa Beatrice
Vivieros was born in Guyana [ then British Guyana or BG ] on 19 October
1907. Her parents were Jose and Adelaine Vivieros. I think that it was my
mother's grandparents who left Madeira for BG. Probably in the mid
1850s. My mother had one sibling, Oscar Vivieros, who left BG in the
1920s to live and work in Rio, Brazil. My mother married JP Santos in BG;
after he died my mother married my father, a doctor. They lived in
Sussex, England. I am interested in discovering who it was, and wnen it
was, that my ancestors left Madeira for Guyana.
I am posting this information and enquiry again because - apologies - I

Name: Marianne I believe my ggggrandfather was
Thomas Lewis living in Floyd Kentucky in 1860, according to the census he
was born on St Michaels island. He is 86 years old according to the
census.
In an earlier census his wife states she is a "midwife". Her
name is Delilah Lewis, age 50?
Also I am trying to connect the link of my gggreat grandfather James
Tomlin who married his daughter M Jane. Which in this same census Delilah
Lewis 1870, claims she is a "midwife", who claims her father
was born in "Portugal".Could she actually be the mother of M
jane?
Also is this Delilah Lewis the same person? If this sounds confusing, I
do apologize. Please email me at [email protected] I do have more
information to share if someone has a connection. Thank you Marianne

Name: Melanie Pereira-Smith
This is really all I know "for sure" (unless my Dad was
mistaken...)
From a letter from my (now Deceased) Father Kenneth Woodrow Anthony
Pereira:
(note: *** denote my comments)
"– Maria was a TISHEIRA from Maderria [**MADEIRA??]. They came to
Antigua some where about 1850… Grand-Dad was of course “PEREIRA”. The
Family of Pereiras we [**He never said who “we” was] traced back to 1350
in Portugal. You will be ‘HORROWFIED’ to know that one of your (our)
ancestors (Jose Pereira Leira de Oliveira) was hanged in Liverpool,
England for Piracy around the turn of the 17th century; about, if I
remember correctly 1635 or 1645".
Farther down:
"My Mother’s side, the Philpots and Richards were brought to “Old
Road”, Antigua from the Continental US as Servants to planters in 1800.
The Planters’ names were, as I said, Philpot and the other Richards. The
Richards and Philpots were English."
He concludes:
"My Father Emanuel Antonio Pereira and Mother Estella Wilhelmina
Philpot."
Our family SEEMS to be connected to many of Portuguese descent in
Antigua:
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Sandra Frates Christoff I
am looking for information on the Frates, Freitas families that have

(Seattle) Washington. The only names that I have are as follows: Frank

Marie Frates, Ronald Frates, Louis Frates. I believe that Frank ran a
boarding house/grocery store in Port Costa.
Thank You
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Dawn Knowles What I was told by my mother
- - Three brothers emigrated from Maderia one went to Guyana one to St
Kitts and one to Antigua where the name became Pestaina. My grand mother
was also of Portuguese decent being a Jardin also from maderia .
--------------------------------------------------
Name: L. MENDES What I
know is as follows: My Paternal grandmother's father Manuel F.
DaSilva was from Madeira, where I don't know. The story goes that he
had an abusive stepfather and one night he got tired of the beating that
he and his mother received he fought back and either killed his
stepfather or almost (not sure which it was) anyways he ran away from
home he was about 13-16 not sure. There is some history missing as to how
he got to British Guiana, anyhow he ended up in Guyana in a small vilage
name Bartica he died around the 1940's or 1950's not sure (he was
about 91 when he died). He had three daughters Anges from a first
marriage (he married her mother on her death bed), Rita and my
grandmother Amelia Rosa from a commonlaw relationship he never married
their mother. Not sure if he was an only child, but if this seems
familiar to anyone and they have any information that'll be great.
My Paternatal grandfather was also from Madeira Jose Mendes, (not sure
where in Madeira). Again there is much information missing and I've
been trying to track so down but with little or no luck. I believe that
he was either 1 of 5 children and the only boy he had 4 sisters. One of
his sisters apparently died when she was very young. My aunt met one
sister Maria (don't know her married name but her husband's name
was Frank) about 15 years or so ago in the US she later died (so dead end
again). I do know that she had a son not sure what his name is but I
heard he was living somewhere in Indonesia or Guam. Don't know any
other information about the other siblings. Anyhow the story goes that
my grandmother's father when to Madeira to find a husband for her
sister Rita cause she was wild and all. Anyhow Rita didn't want Jose
Mendes, my grandmother who was raised in a convent was very loyal to her
father and Jose fell in love with her and married her instead. They had 5
children but he died when my dad was just 18 month and my grandmother was
pregnant with her last child. So any help as to where or if any family
remains would be great.
Rodrigues was Amelia Rosa mother there is zero information on her whether
she was born in Guyana or Portugal I don't know. She hated my great-
grandfather. So any information at all for this part of the family would
be great. I believe she might be related to Farinhas (not sure if it
spelt right)
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Janet (Porter) Suhr My
cousin sent me the following newspaper article, apparently from a
Springfield, IL newspaper - I can probably get more details about the
exact date of the article. I would like more information about Addie
(Adelaide)Garden's brothers and sisters and ancestors. I think she
may be descended from the Gardens of Aberdeen, Scotland, possibly, Robert
Davidson Garden.
My great grandmother was Frances (Fannie) Blossom DeFrates Porter, who
grew up in Springfield, IL. She and my great grandfather, George Martin
Porter lived in Homer, IL
"DEFRATES, MANUEL - Portugal has given Sangamon County a number of
residents, and they are numbered among its most respected and useful
people. Some of them have become specialists along certain lines, and the
work they produce is second to none in the country. One of the best
representatives of this far-away country in Sangamon County is Manuel
DeFrates, residing at No. 1102 East Miller Street, Springfield. He was
born on the Island of Madeira, Portugal, September 25, 1848, being a son
of Anton and Josephine (Greray) DeFrates, both of Portugal. The parents
came to Springfield in 1852, where the father became a peddler, thus
continuing until his demise in 1905.
Manuel DeFrates was brought up in Springfield, receiving an education in
the public schools there. His favorite pastime during boyhood was playing
ball. Later he became interested in horses and for fifteen years was
engaged in the race horse business. In 1880, however, he began learning
the painting and graining business, eventually embarking in this line of
work. He has become so proficient along this line that he now specializes
on high-class work only. A true artist, eh takes pride in his finished
work and his services are in great demand all over the county.
The marriage of Mr. DeFrates occurred in Springfield, in June, 1867, when
he was united with Addie Garden, also a native of Portugal, a daughter of
Joseph and Frances Garden, natives of the same land. Joseph Garden was a
sea captain, who amassed considerable property in New York City, but did
not live long to enjoy it, being drowned in the gulf of Mexico, while on
one of his voyages. His widow survived him, living until about six years
ago, when she too passed away in Springfield. The following children were
born to Mr. and Mrs. DeFrates: Ervie, Henry, Bonnie, Lulu, George, Fannie
and Myrkle.
Mr. DeFrates' religious connections are with the First Portugal
Presbyterian Church of Springfield, of which he is a member. In politics
he is a Democrat, while fraternally he is a Modern Woodman, having joined
in 1900. Quiet in manner, devoted to his work, conscientious in carrying
out contracts, Mr. DeFrates has firmly established himself in the
confidence of the business public."

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Katherine Farias My great-grandfather was Faria I do not know his
first name or my g-grand-mothers name when I find my father's birth
certificate maybe I will get better information...- I know he came to the
US [New England area] but I'm not sure when, maybe 1800's. My
grand-father [his son] was Manuel Faria and I don't know how many
other children my g-grandfather had but my GRAND-father married a French
Candian woman and together they had Aunt Amelia Farias [Machado]- they
divorced and he married Angela Moniz [Farias], which is what is on my
father's military info and certificate but I remember my father
telling me her name was Ventura....I'm not sure if that was a married
name AFTER my grand-father died or what. But now I am looking at Moniz
as a name. They are all deceased and i live so far away from many of my
cousins that I'm not sure I will every find the information I seek.
It is a little dis-heartening. I was told though that Faria is a
Sephardic name. Whether or not we are sephardic remains to be seen. The
Jews are such intelligent people and so resourceful, I'm sure we are
not. However, I am married to a Jewish man and admire and love the
Jewish people. I have found out recenlty that my great-grandfather came
from Madeira. I don't know my great-grandmother or what her maiden
name was....just the men in our family...we always lived far from them as
my dad was in the military and my grand-father died when I was a child.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Paula Fernandes Texeira is
said to be one of the founding families of Madeira. They were originally
explorers (according to my cousin). The family along with many Fernandes,
left Madeira for what was then British Guiana. My Great Great
Grandfather, John Fernandes settled there and bought ice from Canada to
make ice houses (marble storage below ground) - so the story goes. My
Great Grandfather, Manuel or Emanuel Fernandes married Guillamena Texeira
and left Guiana with their 6 or 7 children to England. Sorry, I'm
hopeless with the spellings! I have pictures of John Fernandes and all
the birth/death certificates. It's very interesting. I must have many
ancestors out there....

Name: Helena Vea I'm looking for my father
who was born somewhere in Portugal then came to Australia in the
1970's. He met my mother around 1976, and I was the result of their
relationship. My father was then deported back to Portugal when I was 2
years old in 1979. We have never heard from him since. My mother tells me
that he was known as "Jack" so I'm tipping his Portuguese
name would be Joaquim and his surname is Faria. I'm getting married
this year and would really love to meet my father. All I know is that he
came to Australia and lived in Surry Hills in Sydney. I was born in
September 1977 and he would have been deported in in 1979. He would have
only been in his 20's at the time.
If anyone knows anything PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME OUT. Thank you

Name: Donna As far as I've
been told our family was sent in exile right after WWI because they were
on the wrong side (German). But we supposedly go back to the 1400's
when F. Gomes started his African trade. After opening up Africa (under
the crown), the family moved from Lisboa to Madeira. The Elmina was
added to the name after our ancestor found mines in Ghana.
I don't know how much of this is true. Supposedly the family kept on
as marine merchants until slavery was abolished in England. And, the
family crest had two negro heads with gold rings in their noses.

Name: Antonio Goncalves (Tony) Very little except that
I'm trying to put my family tree together.
I know as far as I've been able to work out that I'm the 5th
generation to have the name of Antonio Goncalves Jardim and that my
forefather's carried a nickname of "da levada".
My grandfather left Madeira round about October 1927 destined for South
Africa, entering the port in Mozambique same time in November 1927.
My father also came to South Africa some time before the war, but came in
through Cape Town.
If anyone can shead light on this family history I'd be grateful.

sure they are from Madeira. Dads maternal great grandfather was born in
Guyana or Trinidad, circa 1877. Named John Verne Pereira. Great
grandparents called Sebastian Pereira and Julia Fernandes. Settled in
Alloa in Clackmannan Scotland. A grocer. This possibly hints at
calvanisto origins, though i'm not sure. There may be some mixing of
race as dark skin and other features still present down the generations.

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Carmen da Silva My GG Grandparents left Sao
Jorge, Madeira for the US (I believe Hawaii). My G grandfather who was a
baby was kidnapped off the boat by his nanny. The GG grandparents only
realised this once the ship had left port. Once they reached their final
destination they sent money to the nanny so that she would look after the
child and bring him up. He married (don't know who) but they had my
grandfather Joao Paulo da Silva who married Conceicao and had Emiliano
Paulo da Silva and Joao Alberto da Silva. Both my grandparents died in
late 1980s/early 1990s in Sao Jorge. My father emigrated to South Africa
in the early 1960s and married my mother, Maria Vera Caetano also from
Sitio do Jogo da Bola, Sao Jorge and had me and my brother, Samuel Paulo
da Silva. My uncle, Joao Alberto married Rita and had 3 daughters,
Tania, Patricia and Raquel. They all emigrated to South Africa in the
1980s where my uncle died in a car accident. Rita and the girls moved
back to Funchal, Madeira. I believe that that the girls are either
studying or living in the UK. Have lost touch with them. Would love to
hear from them and from any relations from Hawaii who I believe were in
Madeira at the time of my grandparents' funerals.

--------------------------------------------------
Name: Michael Rego Presently, the farthest back our link goes is with
Antonio Joaquina do Rego of Canico, who married Maria J. de Jesus, they
had a son Leandro Antonio do Rego, who became a squire of Canico, and
went on to marry Maria Clara Bettencourt of Santa Cruz in 1806. Her
father Agostinho Antonio Bettencourt was a Lieutenant in the Militia. A
witness to Leandro’s wedding, was Francisco Jose do Rego, an Army
Captain. From this marriage, are recorded 8 children, namely; Agostinho
Albino b.1807, Jose b.1808, Fortunata b.1811, Antonio b.1812, Abilio
b.1816, Silvino b.1819, Maria (1) b.1822-22 who died an infant, Maria (2)
b.1824.
The eldest son Agostinho Albino, became a landowner, and in 1842 he
married Leocadia A. de Gouveia from Sao Pedro, a district of Funchal.
They produced 11 children over a period of twenty-five years, from
Virginia b.1843 to Eulalia b.1868, and it is among these children that
half of our REGO family commenced emigration to Demerara.
------------------------------------------
During the 1830s and 1840s there was much famine in Madeira, and many
people adults and children alike, commenced a new life emigrating to
Brazil, Demerara, Trinidad, England, Hawaii, America and elsewhere. The
failings in the vineyards due to a fungus disease, caused many families
to suffer hardship, as over half the population was involved with wine
making, and eventually these families looked elsewhere for a brighter
future. The first official emigration from Madeira to Demerara commenced
in 1835, ceasing between 1842-46, then re-established with a vengeance in
the 1850s due to the bulk of the population on the brink of starvation
for the grape harvest which had totally failed yet again. Emigration
continued in large numbers, until the early 1870s, whereby the numbers
slowed down. Between 1872 to 1900 a total of 17,200 people are recorded
leaving the island of Madeira, however not all were emigrating, some,
mainly English and other Europeans were returning home with their
families, who had been involved in the Madeira wine trade.
British Guiana (BG); the first Portuguese immigrants to arrive in 1835
were indentured labourers employed and tied to a sugar estates, replacing
the slaves who had been granted freedom by the British in 1834 and did
not want to be associated with plantation life. The first batch of
indentured labourers were allocated to a plantation, and employed in
various duties with a monthly wage, weekly rations, clothing if needed,
and a contact for 5 years, after which a parcel of land was granted, or
free return passage home. The field labourers coming into British Guiana
during the 1830s-1860s, were not only Portuguese, but British, European,
African, West Indian, Bahamas, Chinese, and for the greater part East
Indian, they arrived in their 1000s each year up until 1917.
In May 1857 the BG government voted funds to introduce more Portuguese
immigrants, this time non-indentured and free to choose their own
employment. Therefore from this date, besides labourers coming into
Demerara, others brought their families and their servants adding to the
rank of business people, as shopkeepers and clerks and landowners. By
1860 the majority of the Portuguese in Demerara were in shopkeeping,
business, owners of property, however they had little involvement in
politics, there interest lay in commerce.
------------------------------------------
The first recorded emigration in the family tree, was Leandro Augusto do
Rego, who accompanied Antonio Coelho in 1872 for Demerara. Leandro
returned to Madeira two years later, and in 1874 set sail for Demerara
taking in his care, two of his sisters, Carlota b.1853 and Maria
Magdalena b.1858 for the residence of Manoel da Silva. All three
departed in an British vessel “E. W. Cohoon” in September, and arrived
and settled in Demerara. Carlota then c.1875 married Manoel de Silva,
but he shortly died, and on 3 March 1881, aged 27, she re-married to
Joseph d’Abreu at St.Peter’s RC church. However with 3 children, her
second husband died, and again she re-married on 30 October 1892 to
Bernard Sina Gomes at St.John the Baptist RC church, Plaisance, East
Coast Demerara.
The next to depart for Demerara in 1879, was Alfredo Luis do Rego (born
1866), aged 13, he was accompanied by Manoel da Silva, (his brother-in-
law), who had married his elder sister, Carlota Rego. Alfredo sailed
aboard the British vessel “Shannon” obtaining a receipt for Reis 20,000
the equivalent of £4 3s 4d for his passage. Upon his arrival he stayed
with his sister, Carlota. He was not long in Demerara when he got
married there in 1886, Aged 19, to Adelaide Ferrerira, Aged 17, having an
occupation of Storekeeper. Alfredo & Adelaide, are recorded as
having 10 children, although this number may be incomplete, due to the
difficulty in proving and obtaining birth, marriage, death copy
certificates in Guyana. The first child was Alfred b.1887, followed by,
Peter about b.1890, Alexandra b.1892, Christana b.1894, John b.1896,
Elviera b.1899, Ermelinda b.1902, Herman b.1905, Cecil about b.1908,
Beatrice b.1912.
Of the above, only Alfred and Peter are recorded as having married.
Alfred b.1887, married about 1919 to Philomena Rodrigues and they
produced two children, Noel b.1919, Eric b.1921. Unfortunately,
Philomena (Phyllis) died shortly after her second birth, and Alfred later
remarried several years later in 1926, to Olive Dos Santos, whereby 2
more children were born, Dione Maria b.1942, Mervin b.1943.
Another departure from Madeira to Demerara, was Alexandre b.1855, he
emigrated (date to be confirmed c1870), to the village of Plaisance, East
Coast Demerara. He had two partners and 3 children prior to his marriage
to Wilhermina Vincente, from which they successfully produced 10
children, namely; Palmira b.1899, Stephen b.1900, Maria b.1902, Alexander
b.1903, Eleanora b.1904, Rosa Maria b.1906, Maria Philomena b.1907,
Winston b.1911, Francis b.1913, Thelma b.1915.
The final and sixth family member to depart from Madeira to Demerara, was
Cristiano b.1862, he emigrated in September 1884, Age 21, settling in
Plaisance, East Coast Demerara. He married about 1890 having 2 girls,
Eulalie b.1891, Adelaide b.1893.
------------------------------------------
The Rego’s who emigrated to Demerara between 1872-1884, generally lived
there for one or two generations, but did not settle. From the outbreak
of world-war two, several joined the allied forces, and did not return to
British Guiana, others started to emigrate from BG as the troubles
commenced in the mid 1950s, these internal disputes and fighting
continued in British Guiana right up to its Independence in May 1966,
resulting in Guyana becoming a Republic in 1970. The internal conflict
continued, basically between the African and East Indian peoples, which
precipitated a mass exodus from Guyana, of the former Europeans, to
countries such as USA, Canada, and the UK.
Alexandre Rego b.1855, who emigrated from Madeira to Demerara about 1870,
had;
son, Stephen b.1900, emigrated with his wife Laura and family to USA.
son, Winston b.1911 moved to Aruba.
daughter, Thelma b.1915 moved with husband Francis Blanchard and family
to UK.
granddaughter, Mary b.1919 moved to USA.
grandson, Ramon b.1934 moved with his wife Barbara to Canada.
granddaughter, Camile b.1935 moved with husband Paul Isaacs and family to
The Bahamas
granddaughter, Esme b.1937 moved with husband and children to Venezuela.
granddaughter, Audrey b.1940 moved with husband David Statham to Canada.
granddaughter, Pauline b.1944 moved with family and husband William
Bryant to Canada.
grandson, G. Alexander b.1949 moved to Canada.
grandson, Patrick b.1951 moved to Canada.
Cristiano Rego b.1862, who emigrated from Madeira to Demerara in 1884,
had;
daughter, Adelaide b.1893 moved to Canada.
Alfredo Rego b.1866, who emigrated from Madeira to Demerara in 1879, had;
son, Alfred b.1887, moved with wife Olive and family to USA.
grandson, Noel b.1919 moved to UK.
grandson, Eric b.1921 moved with wife Sheila and family to USA.
granddaughter, Dione b.1942 moved to USA.
grandson, Mervin b.1943 moved to USA.
The only REGO’s still living in Demerara are Paul b.1964 and Damian
b.1967, both sons of Romeo b.1932 who died in 1968, leaving his widow
Evelyn (nee Gomes) to look after their two children.
My name is Michael Rego, I reside in Yorkshire, UK, with my family and

moved to Alloa in Scotland circa 1890 (possibly) There son was John Verne
Pereira. One can presume they were Calvinist exiles to Trinidad (or

difficult to trace things because my fathers Luso Caribbean roots are a
product of an illicit affair out of wedlock. The Iberian roots are
genetic but in terms of names and dates its stuck at a dead end. Please
if any one knows these names please write me. Also why does the name
Fernandez sometimes get spelt with a Z in Portugese?

had other children with the woman he was married to. My mother, May
Celestine Rodrigues tells stories of how her father's aunts who were
from Madeira would speak Portuguese while babysitting her.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Johanna Alexander I
am not sure if my ancestors came from Maderia but here is what I found
out so far... I am searching for parents onwards of Francis/Frances
DEFRATES.
Frances/Francis J DEFRATES born in about 1824 in Rochester, Kent England.
He married Sarah (surname not known yet) in 1845 in Middlesex, England.
They had 8 children - Frances, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Jane, Amelia
and James.
Elizabeth DEFRATES married Albert Jackson SMITH in 1876 in Middlesex.
They had a daughter (maybe more children but not known yet) Amelia Jane
Smith, she was my great grandmother.
Amelia Jane Smith married William Fredrick CULLUM - they had 3 children
Constance, Violet and Leslie.
Any information about this family is greatly appreciated
Thanks Johanna
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Rosa Jardine Not much - except that I am looking for any relatives
of my father, whose name is as above. I believe he may have had a son by
the name of Antonio/or Anthony or even Tony. Two daughter by the name of
Elizabeth and Amelia and of course me. However, i did not grow up with my
father. I believe he may have passed away by 1965. My father may have
come from Madeira - but he definately was portuguease.I shall be most
grateful if any one could assist me.Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: S Henriques From 1834 to 1841, over 30,000 people
immigrated to Guyana from the Island of Medeira for better opportunities.
Both my mother & father immigrated to Canada, Montreal in 1961. We
are the 1st generation in Canada. Estimating 4 to 5 generations have past
in Guyana since the Medeiran Migration to Guyana. I assume my ancestors
became labourors working in plantation fields. I also know that
Portuguese Surnames that begin with Da, Dos, Di and De, where given to
children who became orphaned. Guyana history documents a high mortality
rate of that time. I assume somewhere, probably 1st or 2nd generation,
someone suffered this tragedy of orphaned status on my mother's side.
Mother originated from Pameroon, and lived by the river there, and father
lived somewhere outside Georgetown, more closely to Berbice. Mother was
born in 1941. Name is Evelyn Monica,(or Monica, Evelyn), and father was
born 1937, his name is Joseph Richard. I honestly can not imagine anyone
knowing any information on the lives of my parents ancestry, unless dates
of births were documented on their previous generations, but perhaps some
information noted here may help someone.
--------------------------------------------------
Name: Manuel Ribeiro My Grandmother,
Angelique Ribeiro( Nee: da silva), lived in Ponte de Pargo.
She had 3 children, including my father Joaquim Ribeiro, who emigrated to
South Africa in 1950 or so.
My father's brother, emigrated to either Brazil, or Venzuela.
My fathers sister, still stays in Ponte de Pargo, Madeira..
It would be great to get into contact with any family members.
