This
is a photo of Maria Antonia Encarnacao, daughter of Antonia Rosa (da
Cruz) Encarnacao, granddaughter of Rosa Maria da Cruz # 2, great
granddaughter of Maria da Cruz Boa Vista. (She is also the daughter of Manoel Joao Almeida/Manoel Rosa Varella, d/o Rosa Antonia Varella, d/o Antonia Varella & Antonio Manoe Belchior. It is not as simple as that, however.
There were a number of Rosa Maria da Cruz & two had the
same father (Manoel Jose Duarte da Conceicao). RMdC #2 is my great great grandmother, and RMdC#1 is her older half sister.

****************************************
THIS IS HOW THE PROBLEM STARTED: I was convinced that the family of Antonio Roberto de Brito & Maria Rosa Fortes (later Maria da Cruz) was mine - b/c their grandson, Manoel Roberto de Brito, was my godfather. But I believe my line is a different, but closely associated, line. I believe that Manoel Duarte da Conceicao was married twice and that Rosa # 1 and Rosa # 2 are half sisters. I also believe that Rosa # 1 was my godfather's grandmother, and Rosa # 2 is my second great grandmother.
*********************************************************************************
*********************************************************************************
Records mentioning Rosa # 1:
1848 - da LMats1846-66 - 8/, On 1/2/1848, Antonio Roberto de Brito (s/o Roberto Rodrigues de Brito & Anna Maria das Neves) md Roza Maria Fortes (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria Andreza Fortes). The priest was Manoel Antonio de Espirito. SHE IS MARRIED in 1848 so PROBABLY B. AROUND 1830.
1854 - da LMats 1846-66 - 20/ - On 5/18/1854 - Joze Antonio de Brito,(s/o Ignez da Graca) md Margarida Maria da Cruz (d/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao & Maria da Cruz). The witnesses were Boaventura Joao de Brito & Joao Francisco de Brito.
analysis: Margarida could be the daughter of his first OR second wife
1862 daLMats1846-66 - 40/ - On 1/18/1862, Antonio Manoel Duarte (s/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria Soares Boa Vista) md Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza Maria da Piedade of SAL), w: Jose Pedro Fermino & Julio Manoel Fermino. da LMats1846-66 - 40/ - On 1/18/1862, Antonio Manoel Duarte (s/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria Soares Boa Vista) md Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza Maria da Piedade of SAL), w - Jose Pedro Fermino & Julio Manoel Fermino.
analysis: Now the wife of Manoel is referred to as Maria Soares Boa Vista - the Soares has not appeared before for either the first OR the second wife.
1872 daLBaps1872 - 137/6 - On 2/4/1872, Pedro was bap, b. 10/6/71, of Covoada, s/o Jose Antonio de Brito (s/o Antonio Clara de Brito & Ignez Rosa da Graca) & Margarida Maria Andreza (d/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao & Maria da Cruz Boa Vista), gods - Pedro Carlos Fermino & Rosa Maria da Silva.
analysis:
the bride is probably the granddaughter of Maria Andreza Fortes who was
the mother of Rosa # 1 b/c her name includes the name Andeza. Now Maria
Andreza Fortes is being called Maria da Cruz Boa Vista.
1875 - da LBaps1875-95 9/3, AND 1866-81 - Baps, 233/3 - On 1/9/1875, Anna was bap by Padre/Vigaro Jose Gomes
Moreiro, b. 1/5/75 at "onze horas de noite", of Tope Vermelho,
the legitimate daughter of Jose Luiz Dias (s/o Rosa Maria da Cruz) & Serafina Maria da Piedade (d/o Francisco Joao Bento & Anna Maria da Piedade). She lived in "no sitio de Tope Vermelho d'esta ribeira", gods - Anna Gertrudes do Rosario, single & Antonio Pedro Gomes, single. Mr. Gomes signed the document. THIS SAYS ROSA MARIA BUT ON HIS MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE HIS MOTHER IS ROSA ANNA SO I BELIEVE THAT THE ROSA MARIA IS A MISTAKE AND HE CERTAINLY DOESN'T FIT IN WITH ANY OF THE ROSA MARIA'S.
1876 daLObits 1871-76 - 38/6 - On 7/15/1876, Maria Rosa da Cruz died at 23y, d/o Antonio Roberto de Brito & Roza Maria da Cruz.
analysis: this is definitely Rosa # 1 as she was married to Antonio Roberto de Brito.
1881 doRMats, 1871-74 (in the alternate volume it is 14/21, On 7/16/1881, Roberto Antonio de Brito (s/o Antonio Roberto de Brito & Rosa Maria da Cruz) md Anna Rosa dos Santos (d/o Antonio Serafim dos Santos & Rosa Maria da Natividade). No ages are given for either member of the couple. Padre Berardo Jose da Costa Pinto performed the marriage. The witnesses were Joao Jose Monteiro & Felipe Manoel Goncalves.
analysis: this is Rosa # 1 wife of de Brito.
*****
Query:
does this record belong with Rosa 1 or 2? - Jose Manoel (probably b. around 1855) would be a sibling of either 1 or 2???? da LBaps 1875-95 - 23/40 - On 4/25/1875, Josefa was bap, b. 3/28/1875, of Covoada, d/o Jose Manoel Duarte (s/o Manoel Duarte Conceicao & Maria da Cruz Boa Vista) & Julia Anna do Rosario (d/o Antonio Manoel Ribeiro & Anna Domingos do Rosario), gods - Antonio Jose da Silva & Josefa Roza Lopes.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
The balance of this is OLD and needs to be rechecked and incorporated - edited etc. It may not be correct info.
Important note: da Lapa Matrimonios 1866-1886 page 12 gives a very great clue about this family. It relates the the marriage of the sister (Catharina) of Rosa Maria da Cruz and states that she is marrying Miguel with whom she shares 2 degrees of consanguinity. The Bishop allowed the marriage. RoWad believes that they were first cousins (due to the various ways that consanguinity can be calculated).
Roza Maria da Cruz was the sister of RECHECK ALL OF THESE !!!!!!!!

Julia b. 1882, d. 8/11/98, Manuel Jose & Joao Jose. The boys
probably carried the surname Duarte while Antonia would have carried her
mother's surname do Rosario.
(4) Antonio Manoel Duarte (h/o Guiomar Roza da Piedade (d/o Roza da Piedade)). Had a child. Julio, b. 3/10/1875, of Covoada.

71y, deixando filhos (leaving children). At the time of her death she
was a widow, her husband, Antonio Roberto de Brito having died.

Who was Jose Luis Dias?
A central character in my research is Rosa Maria da Cruz & I have a special tab -The various Rosa Maria da Cruz?. At this point in time, there are 11 of them.
Rosa Maria da Cruz #1 was the daughter of Manoel Duarte da Conceicao of Boa Vista & his wife Maria Andreza Fortes/da
Cruz/Boa Vista. Rosa Maria da Cruz #2 was the d/o the same man &
his second wife - also known as Maria da Cruz Boa Vista or Maria da
Cruz. Rosa Maria da Cruz #1 married Antonio Roberto de Brito
of Pico Agudo (in 1848), & then, at some point, may have moved to
his home place of Pico Agudo. This makes things confusing b/c Rosa
Maria da Cruz #2 seems to have spent her lifetime in Pico Agudo.
JOSE LUIS DIAS was born in 1841, son of Rosa Maria da Cruz. BUT WHICH ONE OF THE ELEVEN????? He was married twice, first to a woman named Rosa Anna da Cruz & then after being widowed, he married a woman who was alternately recorded as Serafina Anna da Piedade & Serafina Maria da Piedade (since her mother was Anna I believe Anna to be her true middle name) (her father was Francisco Joao Bento).
AS
OF THIS MOMENT I BELIEVE THAT JOSE WAS THE CHILD OF ROSA # 1 AS HER
MOTHER'S MIDDLE NAME WAS ANDREZA MEANING THAT HIS GRANDMOTHER'S NAME WAS
ANDREZA AND HE NAMED A DAUGHTER ANDREZA. THIS IS NOT A COMMON NAME ON
THIS ISLAND.
Jose Luis Dias had the following children:
his children with Rosa Anna da Cruz:
his children with Serafina Anna/Maria da Piedade:
(1) Antonia Serafina da Piedade (b. 1870, md 6/11/1891, d 92) Anna (b. 1/5/1875, d. 1/14/1875); (3) Mathias Jose, b. 12/22/1875, d. 11/24/1897; (4) Antonio (b. 1/12/1879, d. 1/16/1879); (5) Joanna (b. 79 or 80) (6) Maria 6/1880 - 7/9/1880); (7) Andreza (b. 2/4/1897). Since Rosa Maria da Cruz #1 had a mother with the name Andreza I would tend to place Jose Luiz Dias with her, as her child.
*****
also a puzzle - two girls born in the same year
Joanna & Maria, b. 5/27/1880????,
however these dates need to be checked. Maria died on 7/9/1880 (see da lapa obits 1880).
Sometimes a priest will use the words "prossimo passado" or "prossimo
findo" & you are not sure if he means last year or last month. So
the birth dates of these two girls need to be clarified. edit this - volume for baptism?

**************************************************************************
The curious case of the TWO Rosa Maria da Cruz d/o Manoel Jose Duarte da Conceicao
Is it possible to have two women with the same name and the same father but whose ages in the records are wildly off?
Yes, if they have different mothers.
The following record reveals that there was a woman named Rosa Maria da Cruz who, in the beginning of 1848 married Antonio Roberto de Brito. The marriage record indicates that Rosa was the daughter of Manoel Duarte da
Conceicao (who must have been born around 1810). Because Rosa was old
enough to be married in 1848 we might assume that she was married at
age 18, and, thus, born around 1830.
1848 - da Lapa - Matrimonios - 1846 - 1866 - 8/, On 1/2/1848, Antonio Roberto de Brito (s/o Roberto Rodrigues de Brito & Anna Maria das Neves) md Roza Maria Fortes (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria Andreza Fortes). The priest was Manoel Antonio de Espirito.
At some point in time, Rosa Maria Fortes started using the name Rosa Maria da Cruz and that was her name in 1853 when she had her daughter, Maria Rosa da Cruz.
da Lapa Obits 1871-1876 - 38/6 - On 7/15/1876, Maria Rosa da Cruz died at 23y, d/o Antonio Roberto de Brito & Roza Maria Cruz.
BUT we also can see that the mother of the Rosa Maria da Cruz - then Rosa Maria Fortes, b. 1830 was Maria Andreza Fortes.
I am now working on the assumption that Manoel Duarte da Conceicao had TWO WIVES and that one was Maria Andreza Fortes and the second was Maria da Cruz. Both women appear to have had some dealings in Boa Vista. Maria da Cruz appears to have had most of her children in the mid 1850's. If Maria Andreza Fortes was, indeed, the mother of Rosa Maria Fortes (later Rosa Maria da Cruz), b. 1830, then she would have been 40 years old when she had the brood of children in Boa Vista (who then moved to Sao Nicolau - Covoada) or who had the kids in Sao Nicolau. Maria Andreza Fortes may have died by that time (I will have to comb through Boa Vista obits).
So my thinking is that Maria Andreza Fortes died and then the widower, Manoel, married Maria da Cruz (of Sao Nicolau - but known in Sao Nicolau as Maria da
Cruz Boa Vista). Of course, the child of the first wife (the older
Rosa Maria da Cruz) would have been absorbed into the family of the
second wife, who then had a child of the same name. This closeness of
the families is probably the reason why the older Rosa's grandson is my
godfather. The older Rosa was probably 25 years older than my great
grandmother of the same name.
So I am attached to both women if this hypothesis of mine is correct. I am attached to the older Rosa b/c her grandson, Manoel Roberto de Brito, was my godfather. I am attached to the younger Rosa (who would have been roughly the same age as my godfather Manoel's father) b/c she is the grandmother of my grandmother.
If I am descended from the younger Rosa (b. around 1855) and if she had her daughter Antonia in (1975) and she had her daughter/my granddaughter in 1892 (when she was 18) then this scenario makes more sense.
To corroborate this scenario is the baptismal certificate of Manoel b. 3/8/1875. da Lapa Baptisms. His father was Miguel da Cruz Moraes (s/o Justiniano da Cruz Evora & Maria Lopes Moraes). His mother was Catharina Maria da Cruz (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria da Cruz). The godmother was Rosa Maria da Cruz, a single woman ---- AND UNDOUBTABLY the baptized child's mother's SISTER.
I will try to further support or reject this hypothesis as I continue to review the Catholic Church records.
See complete analysis at THE VARIOUS ROSA MARIA da CRUZ.
Maria da Cruz Boa Vista - #1
I
believe Maria da Cruz Boa Vista is the second wife of Manoel Jose
Duarte Conceicao, &the first wife was Maria Andreza Fortes. She is the
mother of the younger Rosa Maria da Cruz (#2).
da Lapa Matrimonios 1866 - 1881 -

(s/o Antonio Miguel Evora & Emilia Rosa de Brito) & Roza Maria
da Cruz Boa Vista (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria da Cruz
Boa Vista), godparents (who both lived in Covoada) - Jose Maria Soares,
md, & Anna Julia do Rosario, single, operaia. THIS IS ROSA MARIA DA CRUZ #2.
Maria da Cruz Boa Vista / Maria Andreza Fortes #2 - probably b. around 1830
This
is the first wife of Manoel Jose Duarte da Conceicao & she appears
to have been a "Fortes da Cruz" so sometimes shows up as Maria da Cruz.
She is the mother of Rosa Maria da Cruz # 1 who married Roberto Antonio
de Brito. I believe that she is the grandmother of J. Dias.
da Lapa - Matrimonios - 1846 - 1866 - 8/, On 1/2/1848, Antonio Roberto de Brito (s/o Roberto Rodrigues de Brito & Anna Maria das Neves) md Roza Maria Fortes (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria Andreza Fortes). The priest was Manoel Antonio de Espirito. SHE MARRIED in 1848 so - PROBABLY B. AROUND 1830. da Lapa Obits - 1871 - 1876 - 38/6 - On 7/15/1876, Maria Rosa da Cruz
died at 23y, (d/o Antonio Roberto de Brito & Rosa Maria da Cruz),

Note
- the key here to distinguish one from another is the name "Andreza"
which would have been Maria's mother's middle name - or her
grandmother's name).
Maria Rosa da Cruz #3
Lived in Cabacalinho. Mother of Antonia Maria da Cruz. She was a trabalhadora.
do Rosario Obits 1890 - 1893 - 48/42 - On 4/13/1891, Antonia Maria da Cruz died at 8y, (d/o Maria Rosa da Cruz, trabalhadora, of Cabacalinho).
Maria Rosa da Cruz # 4 (not
sure that this is the name she used as an adult but this is what her
name would have been if it had followed the normal naming pattern): Daughter of Miguel Antonio Evora & Rosa Maria da Cruz (#2).
da Lapa Baptisms 1896 - 1898 - 124/80 - On
5/29/1898, Maria was baptized, b. 9/22/1894, d/o Migueal Antonio Evora

da Cruz Boa Vista (d/o Manoel Duarte da Conceicao & Maria da Cruz
Boa Vista), godparents (who both lived in Covoada) - Jose Maria Soares,
