I am looking for any information on my grandfathers ancestors
His family lived in Madeira,Portugal.But I live in Massachusetts,USA and to go there would be a lot of money.
I believe that they have a geneological society there.
If someone could help me find his ancestors in Madeira this would really help me with my family tree.
My grandafather is Manuel Goncalves
born - November 14 1913 in Camara de Lobos,Madeira,Portugal
married - Maria Julieta
died - January 6 2006 in Camara de Lobos
children - Fernando,Jose,Clarinda,Otilia,Sizaltina,Joao,Manuel,Adelino,Arlindo, and Rita
My grandfathers parents were Francisco Goncalves and Maria Jose de Sousa
His siblings were Francisco,Luis,Abel,Martinho (still alive and living in Madeira)Filomena,and Graca
If anyone could find anything on Francisco Goncalves and his ancestors, it would really help, especially since I can't go to Madeira and find out for myself and because I have no way of finding information on the families of my great-grandparents
