Well, if you LOVE living on Oahu (and it reads like you do!), then I'm glad to have played ANY part in your moving there. <br /><br />It turns out that you and I are fourth cousins through our shared direct descendency to João "John" DE MATTOS & Claudina Rosa De Jesus BRAZIL. <br /><br />I'mVirginia Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11328290422807080289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741445534987945740.post-73128981017640703132023-08-02T22:15:50.614-07:002023-08-02T22:15:50.614-07:00Hi, my name is Mariah Kolb and my great grandmothe...Hi, my name is Mariah Kolb and my great grandmother was Mary Baptiste (daughter of Mary DeMattos and Joseph Baptiste). She married John Carlos from Ewa, Oahu and had my grandpa John Carlos III and he had my mom Jan Kolb (maiden name Jan Carlos). She told me that you reached out to her over a decade ago about the family tree and we moved to Hawai'i to discover our roots on Oahu.

They came across the family tree online and offered to help. If I may suggest trying Family Search (https://www.familysearch.org/), as they have some records, although as I recall they did not have records pertaining specifically to the Azores.

We have a reasonably well established family tree as far back as mid 18 hundreds when my great great great grand father came to England (early to mid 18 hundreds), but we haven't established anything linking back to Portugal. Would love to find out more - any tips?Dominic de Mattoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171145945316152596noreply@blogger.com
