Hello, Claudine, I was browsing and looking for my husbands' family. I found your message in reply to another, and maybe you can help me. The names I have, are: Antonio Juan Caetano (Anthony John Caeton); was my husbands (Lionel John Caeton) Grandfather. From the information I have, is only that he came from Portugal. I don't know what island. He married Mary Natal Machado, and I heard she was from the mainland.
Anyway, Antonio changed his name to Anthony John Caeton after he came to the States. He had three brothers,
Frank Caetano;
Joseph Caetano m. Mary and they had a son named Frank that m. a Mary, then there are a Joe, Frank and two girls of which I don't have names;
Manuel Caetano m. Clara.
Anthony and Mary Natal Machado Caetano had one son, Anthony John Caeton m. Ardath Funk, and they had Lionel John Caeton (my husband), Jeanette Marie, Anthony Dennis, Thomas Michael, and Anthony John III.
Are any of these names familiar to you? If so, would you get back to me? My e-mail address is
Candc55@aol.com Thank you, Charlotte Caeton (or it should be Caetano?)
My husband said his grandfather changed his name to Caeton, but he can still remember the name Caetano on the mailbox. By the way, they lived in Hanford. Thanks again.
