FAMILIES OF THE SETTLEMENT - FANJA DE BAIXO (all Fanja/Faja) --- & COVOADA & --- FRONTEIRA

Frank Lopes, compiler & Frank Grace at New Orleans racetrack on Thanksgiving Day.  

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

Note:  There are alot of Fanja & Faja & I have yet to figure it out so I can only put what the priest wrote. 

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

FANJA

Antonio Bento Gomes & Antonia Felippa da Cruz -  daLBaps1892-94 -75/12 - On 3/4/1894, Augusto was bap, of Fanja, b. 5/28/1893, s/o Antonio Bento Gomes (s/o Bento Silvestre Gomes & Julia Michaella do Rosario) & Antonia Felippa da Cruz (d/o Felippa Maria Duarte), gods - Antonio Flor de Andrade & Maria Nicolaia Ramos.

Lourenco da Graca Talho & Antonia Maria de Brito - daLBaps1892-94 - 82/27 -  On 4/5/1894, Saturnina was bap, b. 11/29/1893, of Fanja, d/o Lourenco da Graca Talho (s/o Antonio da Graca Talho & Roza Silva Monteiro) & Antonia Maria de Brito  (d/o Miguel Diogo de Andrade & Maria Thereza de Brito), gods - Antonio Jose SeQueira  (note that throughout this blog i have alternatively spelled this name wrong, i.e. with a g instead of a Q - so at this moment in time I am beginning to rectify that issue - the name would be capital S and then all small letters but I am doing this until this particular edit is completed), md, of Palhal de Cortelao, & Marina Rufina Rodrigues, widow, of TV.   Note that although I do not have a special section for Talho I HAVE put it in bold everytime I have listed it.  So you would have to go through each index to find all of the Talho entries.  

Fanja de Baixo

Manoel Luiz de Araujo     b. probably around or before _____  Husband of Antonia Catharina de Araujo  --- Son of Luiz Braz de Araujo & Josefa Anna da Silva -- Father of Caetano (b. 8/7/1881, d.   )      *****     daLBaps1875-95 - 226/11 - On 2/9/1882, Caetano was bap, b. 8/7/1881, of Fanja de Baixo, s/o Manoel Luiz de Araujo (s/o Luiz Braz Araujo & Josefa Anna da Silva) & Antonia Catharina de Araujo (d/o Lourenco Silvestre Gomes & Catharina Maria da Silva), gods -  Domingos Monteiro Ramoss, md, of SANTIAGO & Maria Aguida Araujo, md, of Sao Vicente.

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

COVOADA

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

CAVEAT -  This section is for those situations where the priest actually says COVOADA.  Sometimes the priest will say Faja or Fanja or Queimadas de Fanja or Fanja de Baixo.  Since I don't know the geography I am not making any assumptions & just being "literal".  So here these are instances where the priest "literally said "Covoada".  

=====================================================================
ALMEIDA
Joao Antonio Lopes Almeida  b.      *****    da LMats1874-96 - 12/5 - On 4/23/1874, Miguel dos Reis 23 (s/o Manoel Anna dos Reis & Maria Gomes do Rosario) md Maria Anna Soares 21 (d/o Anna Maria Soares), w-  Manoel Antonio Almeida, md, of Escarvoeiros & Joao Antonio Lopes de Almeida, md, of Covoada. 


Joao de Freitas Almeida   Note that RoWad has kindly translated this & I need to edit this section.
daLMats 1916-17 - This fifteen pages for daLMats1916-17 appear to be a collection of church documents to support the necessary degrees of separation for a marriage.  But I don't read Portuguese all that well so I am not really sure of that.  The priest keeps mentioning the word "collateral".  When I was a vital records attorney I would sometimes, very rarely actually, have to consider the degrees of separation for a marriage & I used the term "collaterals".  However, it gives a very good family tree relative to the various relationships of the members of this family group. And also show how these things are determined. Although I am an Almeida it does not appear to be related to my Almeida family group (Joao Manoel Almeida father of Manoel Roza Varella aka Manoel Joao Almeida).


The documents begin on
page three:
Joao de Freitas Almeida, 38y, single, trabalhador, of Covoada, (s/o Joao Antonio Lopes de Almeida & Maria Freitas Almeida) md Josefina Maria de Freitas. 21y, single, domestica, illegitimate but acknowledged by Jose de Freitas Almeida who was NOT md to the mother, Maria dos Santos Lima, a domestic worker.
page five:
mentions Joao de Freitas Almeida, single, but now it says that he was a proprietario.
page six: 
seems to be a report on the attributes of one of the people involved ... "divide a sua educacao e prestigio" ... but then it also seems to be some sort of decision about the validity of the marriage.
page seven:
says that the infant Joao was either born or bap on 1/7/79, s/o Joao Antonio Lopes de Almeida & Maria de Freitas Almeida...  but then parents are mentioned as Antonio Miguel Almeida & Margarida Araujo Neves but that the maternal parent was Francisca Antonia Lima & the grandparents were Fernando Henriques Moniz & Julia Narcisa de Carvalho.
page eight:
says that Josephina was b. 3/19/1896 & bap 6/26/ 1896, b. in Covoada, illeg daughter of Joao de Freitas Almeida & Maria dos Santos de Lima.
page nine:
mentions Ana Domingas de Jesus, godfather Antonio Miguel da Conceicao, Maria Ana Almeida, Joao Baptista Gomes, & Antonio Gomes Semedo & the document was signed on 1916.   A document on this page also shows all manner of dates beginning with 4/8/1876, & a document relative to a Jose, child of Joao de Freitas Almeida & Maria,
page ten:
5/28/1900 & sixteen (so 1916) .. mention Manoel Miguel Monteiro, Antonio Joaquim Felisberto 35y, Manoel Antonio Lopes, & Miguel Joao Almeida.
page eleven:
Manoel Antonio Lopes, 41y, md, lives in Covoada
here it begins to seem to be figuring out the degrees of separation for a marriage.
it continues until page 14 ,,,,, where I am not sure if there was a resolution.  

I will plug in RoWad's translation here:  coming

FAMILIES OF THE SETTLEMENT - PICO AGUDO

This is my mom, Juanita Antonia Santos ...... reclining at the pool at the "Silly  Putty Mansion".  See my blog sillyputtyhistory.blogspot.com      My mom's mother's side was from Pico Agudo.  

 PICO AGUDO

              
Apparently Pico Agudo means peak of a mountain.  (Sometimes called Pico Agudo de Fanja) I am told that it is a hike up the mountain from Estancia de Bras.  (an hour & a half hike).  Covoada may be between the two. 
My grandmother Maria Antonia d' Encarnacao (Almeida/Varella) dos Santos Cruz was from there (mostly by virtue of the fact that her grandmother, Rosa Maria da Cruz, who was from Covoada & Boa Vista, married a Brito (Antonio Roberto) who was from Pico Agudo).

Antonia Rosa (da Cruz) d' Encarnacao 
My grandmother is really a da Cruz.  That is if you take into account the normal CV naming patterns.  Her maternal grandmother was Rosa Maria da Cruz (born around 1827 - probably in Boa Vista).  Her mother, then, should have been Antonia Rosa da Cruz.  However, her mother adopted the surname Encarnacao - which may have been her biological father's name (or her first illegitimate child's father's name).  My grandmother kept the name Encarnacao & entered the US as Maria Antonia Encarnacao.  This makes sense b/c the naming pattern is that the child's middle name is usually the parent's first name & the girls take the mother's surname.  But when my grandmother went to get married in New Bedford & gave the name Encarnacao the Clerk must have told her that she could not use her mother's maiden name & instead had to use her father's surname.  Had she done this she would have been Maria Antonia Almeida (as her father was Manoel Rosa Varella who later changed his name to Manoel Joao Almeida).  She had an intense hatred for her father so she told the clerk that her father's surname was VARELLA.  Rosa Maria Varella was, indeed, her paternal grandmother so this was a "white lie" b/c her father had once been a Varella (before he also changed his name to the name of his biological father).  So she was registered as the bride - Maria Antonia Varella.  And, of course,b/c of this sleight of hand it took me years to find her marriage certificate.  I was saved by a Clerk of Court who had the experience & willingness to find the needle in the haystack. 
*****
14/23 - On 4/19/1896, Josepha was bap, b. 3/10/1895, of Pico Agudo, illegit d/o Antonio Manoel Gomes (s/o Manoel Joao Gomes & Antonia Isabel de Brito) & Antonia Rosa da Encarnacao (d/o Rosa Maria da Cruz) (this is RMdC # 2), both parents were trabalhadores, gods:  Francisco Manoel Gomes, single & Isabel Antonia de Brito, single, both gods were trabalhadores, & both of Q, mentioned - Joao Baptista Gomes, single & Pedro Manoel Ramos.  (PMR was the brother of the father of the child).  

  There is a You Tube video of this little settlement & the video shows the inhabitants grinding up yams to make flour.  Quite a production.  I watched the video & thought "I bet I am related to every single person there". My great gram Rosa Maria da Cruz lived in the settlement of Covoada but moved to Pico Agudo when she married Antonio Roberto de Brito. My grandmother's sister, Rosa never left the area and, therefore, died there. 

The normal church for this settlement seems to be Nossa Senhora da Lapa but I have found records for my family at Nossa Senhora do Rosario as well. 


These are You Tube videos about Pico Agudo.  Now I realize why my gram would tell me that if I went to her home I would have to go up the mountain on a donkey.


Thank you Manoel Oliveira for this You Tube video which features a man of your same name & also Orlando Duarte & Manuel da Graca.  Loved hearing the words mandioca & farinha again.  Had no idea about the process of making this food stuff.  I have a new appreciation for yams.  Hope this one shot will not violate any rights of yours. 
 
The family of Luiz Francisco Almeida & Rofina Isabel de Brito -  
da Lapa Baptisms 1875 - 1895  - 261/88, On 11/4/1882, Carlos was baptized, b. 8/27/1882, s/o Luiz Francisco Almeida (s/o Francisco Joaquim Almeida & Joanna Francisca de Brito)  & Rofina Isabel de Brito (d/o Francisco Carlos Gomes & Izabel Rosa de Brito), the godparents were Carlos Daniel Fermino & the statue (which was held by the church treasurer - Antonio Pedro Gomes).

The family of ANTONIO ROBERTO de BRITO & ROSA MARIA da CRUZ
Rosa Maria da Cruz was the wife of Antonio Roberto de Brito  THIS IS MY FAMILY
(See separate tab for her story "Who was Rosa Maria da Cruz") & she lived between Covoada, where she was raised & Pico Agudo where it appears that her husband's family- the Britos, were from &, therefore, where she lived when she was married.  She appears to have been born in Boa Vista (or at least that is where her parents always lived & where her parents were from). 
da Lapa Obits 1890 - 1901  - 193/34 - On 6/23/1898, Roza Maria da Cruz died at 71y, at 11 p.m at nite, lived in Pico Agudo, (d/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao (of Boa Vista) & Maria da Cruz (of Sao Nicolau) ).  Note that Rosa Maria da Cruz is the great great grandmother of this compiler.

da CRUZ  

    This is a CONFUSING family - my family - as there were two sets of women with the same name or sometimes the same name. 

    Also see Antonio Roberto Brito above.   The da Cruz seem to have gone from Covoada to Pico Agudo with the marriage of Roza Maria da  Cruz t# 1 to Antonio Roberto de Brito.  Manoel Duarte Conceicao & his first wife 

and his second wife -- who was commonly referred to as Maria da Cruz Boa Vista in Sao Nicolau -- 

The family of MARIA ROSA da Cruz
She is a daughter of RMdC #2
da Lapa Baptisms - 1875 - 1895 30/56, On 6/10/1875, Julio was bap, b 3/10/1874, of Covoada, s/o Antonio Manoel Duarte (s/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao & Maria da Cruz Boa Vista) & Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza da Piedade), gods Julio Bento d' Oliveira, negociante from Ribiera Brava, & Maria Roza da Cruz, single from Pico Agudo.  (Note:  Maria Roza da Cruz is my family as is Antonio Manoel Duarte & his parents Manoel Jose & Maria).
  
THE FAMILIES OF ROSA MARIA DA CRUZ #1 and ROZA MARIA da CRUZ #2
RMdC #1 was marrie to Brito so also see info above
Anna Rosa da Cruz -----  daLBaps1882-91 - 41/66 -  (this record  was graciously translated by RoWad on 1/16/2023)  ----- - At 10 a.m. on 2 June 1889, in this parish church of NS da Lapa of Queimadas,  the Vicar of the Parish, Jose Gomes Moreira, baptised a female individual who was named Maria & was born in Pico Agudo of this parish on 15 August 1888 at 3 a.m., first child of this name of Anna Rosa da Cruz, worker from & parishioner & resident in Pico Agudo who by law was present at this Act & recognized the baptised (child) who will have permanent right on all legal cases, of unknown grandfather, --grandmother is Rosa Maria da Cruz, the godfather was Pedro Miguel Morais, single, worker, resident in Covoada & godmother was Maria Rosa da Conceicao, single, worker, resident in Pico Agudo de Fanjam, who I know are themselves and to be known I write this record in dupllicate which after read & found to be correct is not stamped due to poverty & it is signed by me & Jose Bento Gomes, md, worker, resident in Mouro, man of this parish, at the mother's request & also the godfather but not the godmoher as she does not know how.

Duarte 

     The Duarte (descendants of Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria da Cruz Boa Vista) seem to have stayed in Covoada even though the sister, Roza Maria da  Cruz went to Pico Agudo when she married  Antonio Roberto de Brito.  Manoel Duarte Conceicao & his wife who was commonly referred to as Maria da Cruz Boa Vista in Sao Nicolau were the parents of Antonio Manoel Duarte (who was the brother of my great grandmother Roza Maria da Cruz).  These siblings had all manner of different surnames (see the tab "Who was Roza Maria da Cruz?").  So it seems that although Manoel remained in Covoada he chose a godmother (his sister) who was now (in 1874) living in Pico Agudo.   Antonio Manoel married Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza da Piedade) and they had a son Julio on 3/10/1874. 

Antonio Manoel Duarte & Guimar Rosa da Piedade

da Lapa Baptisms - 1875 - 1895 30/56, On 6/10/1875, Julio was baptized, b 3/10/1874, lived in Covoada, s/o Antonio Manoel Duarte (s/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao & Maria da Cruz Boa Vista) & Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza da Piedade).  The godparents were Julio Bento d' Oliveira, negociante from Ribiera Brava, & Maria Roza da Cruz, single from Pico Agudo.  THIS IS MY FAMILY - CRUZ. 

     This Duarte was the son of a Lopes & married a da Conceicao.  It is not clear if it is the bride or groom who was from Pico Agudo or if they just lived there at the time the child was born. 

Jose Antonio Duarte  See the family of Francisca Maria Lopes below.

MOTTA    
So far there are two Motta familes in Pico Agudo & we will need to wait for more information to see if they were biologically connected. 
The Motta family of Pico Agudo appears to have included (1) Maria Anna Motta & (2) Jose Manoel Motta.  
 Maria Anna Motta was b. in 1802 & she was married to Nicolau Zienho Santiago (see tab below) & her parents were not surnamed Motta (but rather Mathias Serafim Tantuna & Maria Anna da Silva).  Jose Manoel Motta was the husband of Ignacia Francisca Almeida & they appear to have been born in the late 1830's.  Jose was the son of Manoel da Silva Motta & Domingas da Cardozo Rozario.  Jose & Ignacia were the parents of Jose da Silva Motta who was b. 1849 & Maria Ignacia do Rosario who was b. in 1857 & Joao Baptista Soares who was b, in 1857 (were Maria & Joao twins?).  Ignacia died prior to 5/24/1888.  Jose Manoel Motta died on 6/12/1990.
