Hello everyone! I have just started researching my family tree and am unfortunately lacking plenty of information. I'm unfamiliar with ancestry.com, so if anyone can help me, that would be great!
So far all I have is this:
My family originates from Madeira, Portugal. My grandfather was Francisco Carlos Xavier, who spent most of his life living in Trinidad and Tobago and married Margaret Franco. He moved his family to Canada for a couple of years (3 sons, 1 daughter), passed away in 1991. I am not 100% sure, but I believe his father's name was Joseph Xavier and his mother's name was May Gomes.
There really is not too much information I can gather from family, but I really would love any sources available. Anything on Xavier history in Madeira would be amazing.
