My mother's maiden name was Maria NevesTavares. She was born in Vila Franca do Campo, Sao Miguel, Azores in 1902. I have traced some of her family back to the mid 1700's. Her father's and mother's names were Manoel Jacintho Tavares and Capitolina Leopoldina do Couto. Her grandparent's were Manoel Jacintho Da Camara and Maria Alexandrina Tavares. I have about twenty names going back six generations that I'm willing to share with anyone interested.

My great grandfather was Manoel Jacintho and his wife was Maria Teves. His father was Manoel Jacintho and his wife was Philomena da Gloria Leite. All I know is that they came from Sao Miguel. Their children lived in Hawaii on the island of Kauai. Does any of this make sense to you? I am still trying to fill in loose ends.

I have a great grandmother named Capitalina Tavares Moniz, born in Lisbon and married Manuel T. Moniz or Monez in the Azores sometime around 1870. is there any chance we could be related and Your Captolina was her mother? I have not been able to bridge the gap between America and the Azores. Any help you might have would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance.
