VARELLA

This is a photo of compiler around 1957 in New Haven, Connecticut.  Dad was in the toy industry so we always had plenty of toys.

The first part is about MY Varella family & 

the second part is the alphabetized version.  

========================================================================

Varella & Belchior seem to have been aligned families since the time they appeared in the MAIO records as early as 1812 

======================================================================== VARELLA

Preliminary Notes:

It seems like there were _____Varella groups - 

(1)  MY group (the Anastacia Varella / Belchior group), 

(2)   the MAIO island group  I am working on the notion that the first Belchior/Varella was in Maio in the early 1820s.  See my Maio tab, AND also from SANTIAGO. 

(3)  the Antonio & Candida group, 

(4 )   the Antonio Manoel Varella (aka Manoel Miguel Almeida ) & Claudina Maria de Almeida group.

(5)  the Pedro/Zeferino group.  

BEFORE 1911 VARELLA WAS SPELLED WITH A DOUBLE L. 

AFTER 1911 VARELLA HAS ONLY ONE L.  But in the US they seem to have changed it back to two L's 

************************************************* 

THIS IS MY VARELLA GROUP:

The family of Anastacia Varella - b. probably 1775 - 1780

It appears that there was a woman named Anastacia Varella (b. around 1775 - 1780) who had two daughters -- Anna & Antonia. 

(1)  Anna Anastacia Varella b. probably around _____ (Anna Anastacia was the mother of Antonia Rosa Varella (b. 1799, d. 1888).       & 

(2)  Antonia Anastacia Gomes Varella b. probably around _____  - THIS COMPILER IS DESCENDED FROM ANTONIA.     Antonia Anastacia Gomes / Varella  was the wife of _______________   &  the mother of Rosa Antonia Gomes/Varella b. probably around 1856  & Antonio Manoel Belchior (husband of Gertrudes Ignez da Graca).  She had a child with Manoel Belchior Soares.  (There was another Antonia  Varella md to Bartholomeu Jose Soares - make sure it is not the same person - their child was Julia which runs in this line so i am inclined to think that there is a connection somehow). 

The children of Antonia Anastacia Gomes / Varella  were

(1)   Antonio Manoel Belchior who was the husband of of 

(1)  Perpetua Soares da Piedade/Perpetua Maria da Piedade (she was still alive in 10/1853)  AND  

(2)  Gertrudes Ignez da Graca (b.    d.   ).  Antonio Manoel Belchior was the son in law of Antonio Mathias de Brito & Ignez Rosa da Graca & the 

Father of  

with Perpetua: Jose (b. 11/27/1850;)  & Joao (b. 9/1853)  AND         

with Gertrudes:  Jose Antonio Belchior (b. 1864) &  Antonio Soares de Brito (b. 1857)

AND

Rosa Antonia Varella/Rosa Antonia Gomes was

the mother of (1)  Julio - b. 12/6/1875, d. 10/22/1876

(2)  Antonia 

(3)  Miguel, b 4/22/1882.  

(4)  Antonio (b. 9/28/1878) 

                        ()  Manoel Roza Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida b. 1872 (who md Julia Catharina da Conceicao b. 1880 on ??? :& they were the parents of Julia (b. 4/12/1892 - d. 1/4/1898) & Maria (b. after ...... ) & he was also the father of Maria Antonia Encarnacao via Antonia Rosa da Encarnacao who he never married.  He moved to the US in 1916. 

Three Children via two women

              :  Julia - born 4/12/1892, d. 1898
                 Maria Antonia Encarnacao (b. 7/8/1892, immigrated to the US
                 Maria Julia (b. 11/20/1899,NOTE - THIS IS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER.  HE USED TWO NAMES MANOEL ROZA VARELLA & MANOEL JOAO ALMEIDA.  First he had a child Julia with Julia Catharina da Conceicao who was herself a child (about 12 or 13) & a few months later he had a child, my grandmother, Maria, with Antonia Rosa da Cruz da Encarnacao & then he had his third child, Maria Catharina, with the mother of the first child.  By the time this tird child - Maria = was born the first child Julia had died.   Immigration to US  - 11/10/1916 - Ship - Ambrose Snow, he left his wife Julia Catharina behind in Sao Nicolau, he joined his "cousin" Manoel A. Brito,  

                        ()  Antonio Roza Varella/Antonio Joao Almeida (b. 9./28/1877, d. )  - Son of Roza Antonia Varella - Husband of Julia Maria da Conceicao b. 9//28/1877 ( 6/1/1905). 

                       ()  Maria Roza Varella, mother of Catharina b. 7/14/1887 (acknowledged daughter of Manoel Jose Soares) (b. 1869. d.  )  - Wife of Manoel Jose Soares  - Daughter of Rosa Antonia Varella  & ? Joao Manoel Varella - Granddaughter of Antonia Anastacia Gomes Varella  - Mother of Catharina (b. 7/14/1887, d.  ) & Antonio (b. 1892/1893)                        

                      (5)  Antonia Roza Varella (b. 12/7/1889)

                     (6)  Joao Joaquim de Brito - Husband of Anna Paula das Neves.  & Father of Margarida

Rosa Antonia Varella was the grandmother of

 (1) Julia Julia da Conceicao Julia Varella  / Julia Julia da Conceicao    (b. 4/12/1892, baptized 6/10/1894, died  1/4/1898 at 6 yrs old.  THIS IS JULIA JULIA da CONCEICAO WHO WAS BAPTIZED BY HER GRANDMOTHER ROSA MARIA VARELLA BUT WHO WAS REALLY THE CHILD OF MANOEL ROZA VARELLA & JULIA CATHERINA DA CONCEICAO.   Granddaughter of Rosa Antonia Varella (though she baptized her as if she were her own child   - Daughter of Manoel Rosa Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida & Julia Catharina da Conceicao. Julia Varella  / Julia Julia da Conceicao    (b. 4/12/1892, bap 6/10/1894, died  1/4/1898 at 6 yrs old. Daughter of Manoel Roza Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida & Julia Catharina da Conceicao but baptized by Rosa Antonia Varella as if it were her child.  See the family of Anastacia Varella.       

(2) Maria Antonia Encarnacao (b. 1892)       

(3) Maria Julia da Conceicao      

(4)  Margarida, b. 3/16/1896, baptized 9/8/1896       

(5)  Jose, b. 6/18/1895, baptized 7/14/1898.   

(6) Catharina Varella - ? Catharina Maria Varella b. 7/14/1887, Daughter of Maria Roza Varella -Legitimated by her father - Manoel Jose Soares -Granddaughter of Rosa Antonia Varella;   Granddaughter of Genoveva Maria dos Reis 

Both of the sons of Rosa Antonia Varella married women named Julia.  Julia the child of Manoel Joao de Almeida (Manoel Rosa Varella) was born three months prior to Manoel Rosa Varella/MJA’s illegitimate child Maria Antonia Encarnacao (d/o Antonia Rosa da Encarnacao & she was her second child).  So this compiler contends that little Julia was actually a grandchild and they were protecting the unwed 13 year old (or so) Julia Catharina - who later married MRV/MJA).  I believe that her death record bears this out.  

Rosa Antonia Varella finally married _________________ in ___________________ and they had a child _________________________.

========================================================================

Varella & Belchior seem to have been aligned families since the time they appeared in the MAIO records as early as 1812 

========================================================================

VARELLA

Preliminary Notes:

It seems like there were _____Varella groups - 

(1)  my group (the Anastacia Varella / Belchior group), 

(2)   the MAIO island group  I am working on the notion that the first Belchior/Varella was in Maio in the early 1820s.  See my Maio tab.

()  the Antonio & Candida group, 

( )   the Antonio Manoel Varella (aka Manoel Miguel Almeida ) & Claudina Maria Almeida group.

& 

()  the Pedro/Zeferino group.  

BEFORE 1911 VARELLA WAS SPELLED WITH A DOUBLE L. 

AFTER 1911 VARELLA HAS ONLY ONE L.  But in the US they seem to have changed it back to two L's 

*************************************************

The family of Anastacia Varella - b. probably 1775 - 1780

It appears that there was a woman named Anastacia Varella (b. around 1775 - 1780) who had two daughters 

(1)  Anna Anastacia Varella b. probably around _____ (Anna Anastacia was the mother of Antonia Rosa Varella (b. 1799, d. 1888).       & 

(2)  Antonia Anastacia Gomes Varella b. probably around _____  - THIS COMPILER IS DESCENDED FROM ANTONIA.     Antonia Anastacia Gomes / Varella  was the wife of _______________   &  the mother of Rosa Antonia Gomes/Varella b. probably around 1856  & Antonio Manoel Belchior (husband of Gertrudes Ignez da Graca).  She had a child with Manoel Belchior Soares.  (There was another Antonia  Varella md to Bartholomeu Jose Soares - make sure it is not the same person - their child was Julia which runs in this line so i am inclined to think that there is a connection somehow). 

The children of Antonia Anastacia Gomes / Varella  were

(1)   Antonio Manoel Belchior who was the husband of of (1)  Perpetua Soares da Piedade/Perpetua Maria da Piedade (she was still alive in 10/1853)  AND  (2)  Gertrudes Ignez da Graca (b.    d.   ).  Antonio Manoel Belchior was the son in law of Antonio Mathias de Brito & Ignez Rosa da Graca & the 

Father of  

with Perpetua: Jose (b. 11/27/1850;)  & Joao (b. 9/1853)  AND         

with Gertrudes:  Jose Antonio Belchior (b. 1864) &  Antonio Soares de Brito (b. 1857)

AND

Rosa Antonia Varella was

the mother of (1)  Julio - b. 12/6/1875, d. 10/22/1876

                        (2)  Antonio Roza Varella/Antonio Joao Almeida (b. 9./28/1877, d. )  - Son of Roza Antonia Varella - Husband of Julia Maria da Conceicao b. 9//28/1877 ( 6/1/1905). 

                       (3)  Maria Roza Varella, mother of Catharina b. 7/14/1887 (acknowledged daughter of Manoel Jose Soares) (b. 1869. d.  )  - Wife of Manoel Jose Soares  - Daughter of Rosa Antonia Varella  & ? Joao Manoel Varella - Granddaughter of Antonia Anastacia Gomes Varella  - Mother of Catharina (b. 7/14/1887, d.  ) & Antonio (b. 1892/1893)   

                      (4)  Manoel Roza Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida b. 1872 (who md Julia Catharina da Conceicao b. 1880 on ??? :& they were the parents of Julia (b. 4/12/1892 - d. 1/4/1898) & Maria (b. after ...... ) & he was also the father of Maria Antonia Encarnacao via Antonia Rosa da Encarnacao who he never married.  He moved to the US in 1916. 

Children:  Julia - born 4/12/1892, d. 1898
                 Maria Antonia Encarnacao (b. 7/8/1892, immigrated to the US
                 Maria Julia (b. 11/20/1899,NOTE - THIS IS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER.  HE USED TWO NAMES MANOEL ROZA VARELLA & MANOEL JOAO ALMEIDA.  First he had a child Julia with Julia Catharina da Conceicao who was herself a child (about 12 or 13) & a few months later he had a child, my grandmother, Maria, with Antonia Rosa da Cruz da Encarnacao & then he had his third child, Maria Catharina, with the mother of the first child.  By the time this tird child - Maria = was born the first child Julia had died.   Immigration to US  - 11/10/1916 - Ship - Ambrose Snow, he left his wife Julia Catharina behind in Sao Nicolau, he joined his "cousin" Manoel A. Brito,  

                      (5)  Antonia Roza Varella (b. 12/7/1889)

                     (6)  Joao Joaquim de Brito - Husband of Anna Paula das Neves.  Father of Margarida

Rosa Antonia Varella was the grandmother of

 (1) Julia Julia da Conceicao Julia Varella  / Julia Julia da Conceicao    (b. 4/12/1892, baptized 6/10/1894, died  1/4/1898 at 6 yrs old.  THIS IS JULIA JULIA da CONCEICAO WHO WAS BAPTIZED BY HER GRANDMOTHER ROSA MARIA VARELLA BUT WHO WAS REALLY THE CHILD OF MANOEL ROZA VARELLA & JULIA CATHERINA DA CONCEICAO.   Granddaughter of Rosa Antonia Varella (though she baptized her as if she were her own child   - Daughter of Manoel Rosa Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida & Julia Catharina da Conceicao. Julia Varella  / Julia Julia da Conceicao    (b. 4/12/1892, bap 6/10/1894, died  1/4/1898 at 6 yrs old. Daughter of Manoel Roza Varella/Manoel Joao Almeida & Julia Catharina da Conceicao but baptized by Rosa Antonia Varella as if it were her child.  See the family of Anastacia Varella.       (2) Maria Antonia Encarnacao (b. 1892)       (3) Maria Julia da Conceicao      4)  Margarida, b. 3/16/1896, baptized 9/8/1896       (5)  Jose, b. 6/18/1895, baptized 7/14/1898.   (6) Catharina Varella - ? Catharina Maria Varella b. 7/14/1887, Daughter of Maria Roza Varella -Legitimated by her father - Manoel Jose Soares -Granddaughter of Rosa Antonia Varella;   Granddaughter of Genoveva Maria dos Reis 

Both of the sons of Rosa Antonia Varella married women named Julia - the child was born three months prior to Manoel Rosa Varella/MJA’s illegitimate child  Maria Antonia Encarnacao (d/o Antonia Rosa da Encarnacao & she was her second child).  So this compiler contends that little Julia was actually a grandchild and they were protecting the unwed 13 year old (or so) Julia Catharina - who later married MRV/MJA).  I believe that her death record bears this out.  

Rosa Antonia Varella finally married _________________ in ___________________ and they had a child _________________________.
