the settlement of Ribeira das Vaccas

 


Compiler and grandson in New Haven at 40th high school reunion.  Around 2012

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

Sometimes in the middle of routine & tedious transcribing you will see something and a lightbulb will go off.  That just happened.  Though I don't have time to dwell on it right now this is what I will be looking into. 

1.  Somehow my SANTO ANTAO great-grandmother Joanna Maria Josefa found herself (after living in Sao Vicente) in Sao Nicolau in a section called Ribeira das Vaccas -

2.  She would have brought along (in her various moves) her son Joao Antonio dos Santos who was born in Sao Vicente in 1894.  Joao Antonio worked at the Seminary in SN but would leave for the US in 1920.

3.  Apparently he was already the "intended" of my grandmother Maria Antonia Encarnacao (Varella/Almeida).  

4.  On the ship AMBROSE SNOW in 1922 my gram is travelling with Paula Alcantara  (from memory I believe d' Oliveira) (who is an ABITBOL descendant). 

5.  Then today I find (in my notes) this Pedro Alcantera dos Santos  whose son Antonio (b. in 1891 - right before my gram and a few years before my gramp) is born in Ribeira das Vaccas.  

6.  My great gram Joanna had children with Antonio Manoel dos Santos of SN.  So at least two of her boys were dos Santos (with Antonio as their middle name). 

So as I edit my notes and find info that would clarify this situation (support/controvert) I will add the info.
