Dear Vee,

My family is called GOEAS in Hawaii but originated as de Gois (Goes?) in Machico, Madeira. The family came to Honolulu in the early 1880's. I would appreciate any knowlege you may have.
Sincerely'
Valerie

Hi Valerie,
Since we last wrote I have found this much information. If I can recall correctly, two brothers of noble statue were given land in Madeira, after the confrontation in Azila?. One brother remained in Madeira and the other returned to the mainland.This was the beginning of the Goes family on that island.The name is spelled gois or goes. de means only of. There is a city in the northern part of Portugal and another in Netherland with the name Goes.

Valerie and Vee,
Since I last posted I have made some discoveries. The name was originally de Goes,became de Goes. Goeas sounds like Goes said phonetically in English.It still hold true about the two brothers who were given land in Madeira by the king for heroic deeds in the battle o Azila. One brother returned to the mainland.I have research this family as far back to about 600's.It has all been done for you.Go to the site Sapo.pt--Genealogy--familia(family) write Goes-there are four names-chose Goes then it is self explanatory.pai=father mae=mother filhos=children.
The name Goess is the name used by Dutch, German, etc.The iniciation of this branch originates with Damiao de Goes,humanitarian,statesman,friend to Erasmus,of noble blood. This name is illustrious from the kings of Visgoths to the kings of Leon,and king of Asturia.to Portugal.
