Mello born in Portuguese Goa went to Hawaii some time in the 1880's. My
grandfather Bonaventura Maximiano de Mello was raised in Portuguese Goa by
the Jesuit Priest and stayed in the Indian Continent. I know that the
descendants of my grandfather's brother Justin Manuel de Mello and all of
their half brothers and sisters are still living on Hawaii. There is a

Surnames: Freitas, Rebello
Comments: I was born Fleur Freitas to Lawrence Anselm Freitas of Freitas
Vaddo in Parra, Goa and Stella Pereira of Siolim, Goa. My parents lived in
Poona and we went to Goa for the summer holidays every year where we have
property. My Grandfather's name was Diogo Freitas. I do not remember my
grandmother's name... both paternal grandparents died before I was born.
My father had 2 brothers : Joe and another whose name I can't recall at
the moment - he had 5 sons by his wife Mary. Of these, Victor is the only
one that I met. The family lived (and still lives) in Nagpur. I met
neither of my uncles as both lived in other states of the country. My
father also had 3 sisters: Grace (who died young), Bella the eldest sister
died in Goa and Teresa the youngest of the siblings who still lives in
the family home in Parra, Goa. My mother had two sisters - Ruby Almeida
and Olive Pereira, both live currently in Siolim, Goa. She also had two
brothers - James and Felix, both are now dead. James had one daughter -
Bernice, currently in Bombay. That's as much as I can remember without
getting back to my mom to find out if she has more details. Thanks and
regards.

Comments: I would be very interested in a section on Portuguese names
originating in Goa. I have had a fair amount of difficulty trying to
research my own name (Madeira) because I don't quite know how to research
the Goan side of my family, which is now dispersed around England, East
Africa, Canada, Portugal, Goa as far as I know. Have you any interest
(or access to data on) this valuable resource? I would be pleased to hear
from you, and happy to help in some way. Regards

Village : unknown
Surnames: de Lima, D'Oliviera, Barbosa, Quadros, Dias
Comments: Captain de Lima, from Portugal, retired in Bombay in 1850,
approximately, and started a livery stable there. His son Captain David de
Lima (of Indian Medical Dept) married a woman, surname Quadros, whose
father worked at Prtuguese embassy in Bombay. Subsequent generations have
lived throughout India (especially Karachi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin,
Bombay, Goa) and in Africa (Entebbe 1900's). Victor D'Oliveira's family
lived in Cochin, India and married into the Clermont (Claremont family).
William Barbosa (died 1900's in India) married Ethel Dias (died 1950's in
India). She was the daughter of Thomas Clement Dias and ? Rosario. I
believe the Dias family now mostly live in Australia. I would would
appreciate any information about these names or their places of origin,
etc in Portugal, India or Australia.
Alan Richard Perreiah, 182 Jesselin Drive, Lexington, Kentucky 40503, USA
Email: pera@uky.edu
Date submitted: Tue 15 July 2003
Surnames: De Souza, Perria
Comments: Greetings. My name is Alan Perreiah. My father's family immigrated
to Southern California (San Pedro) in 1913 from Bow, (East London, England).
The spelling of my surname was changed in the 1860's from "Perria".
Recently, I learned from the 1880 British Census that my gg-grandfather was
born in Goa, India in 1828 or 1829. His birth name was "Mariano De Souza"
(possibly, Carlos Mariano De Souza). His parents died when he was quite
young and he was adopted and raised by his older sister, Anna who was married
to a man named Perria. The young boy took his adoptive parents' name.
Eventually, he immigrated to England where he married Sarah Elizabeth Downs
(who changed the spelling of the name) and where he was a hotel cook and
developed a small curry spice business. I have a label that describes him and
his son as "Indian cooks." Family lore has it that his father was born in
Portugal, and both his natural and his adoptive fathers were in the shipping
business, but I do not know where in Portugal these people were from. It is
possible that my gg-grandfather spent some of his youth in Portugal. I would
appreciate any communication with persons who may have come across the above
surnames (De Souza, Perria) in their research or who might suggest useful
sources for me to pursue. Thank you for your help. Alan Perreiah

Date submitted: Sat, 7 Aug 2004
Comments: Lazarus Mendonca was born in Anjuna, Goa on the 26 June 1875. I
believe he was a Doctor and owned some land. He married and lived in Karachi
for some 15 years, when he left his wife and three sons and went back to Goa.
His wife, Sabina (Vas) was also born in Anjuna on the 29th. August 1880 and
lived in Karachi till her death in December 1956. Would appreciate any help
or information about them. Many thanks!

Village; unknown although links with Cochin, Travancore and Bombay
Surnames: Moniz, de Braga, Brigida, Fleury, Dart, Walker
Comments: My grandmother’s family were in India for several generations. On her maternal
side, male Hoogewerfs married Brigida and Fleury ladies. My Great Great Grandmother was
Violanta Hoogewerf, daughter of Judge Alexander Hoogewerf of Travancore, who m. Hall Mellville
Walker in the mid / late 1800s. They had Elsie and Oscar. We are pretty well-informed on this
side of the family but any more is always welcome! Elsie (b.c.1887) married John Dart
(b.c.1879) – they are my great grandparents. John’s father was John Moniz Dart (b.c.1844),
who was married to Mary Stephens (b.c.1842); both died in 1918 in Nasik, near Bombay. We don’t
know where they were born. They describe themselves as English on documents. There must be a
Portugese / Goa link through the Moniz name – does anyone know of a John Moniz Dart??? Or a
Moniz – Dart marriage in the late 1700s / 1800s? He might have been given the Moniz name after
a grandmother or grandfather. John Moniz was in the British Civil Service, Indian Railway and
Salt Company. Ended up as Superintendent of Pechey-Phipson San at Nasik, which was where he died.
The Walker / Hoogewerf side were very wealthy and educated. All seem to be in legal / journalism
(editors).

Elizabeth "Betty" Pire, nee Pereira, London, England
Email: epires@investcorp.com
Date submitted: Wed, 20 Jul 2005
Surnames: Pereira, Luis, Lewis, Corte-Real
Comments: I am trying to put a family tree together for my family. My father Cyril Pereira was
born in Bombay, India in 1926. His father, my grandfather, was Romaldo Pereira? Roumaldo?
Romaldho?--(Not sure of correct spelling) who came from Cunchelim in Goa but the family was
originally from Tivim in Goa and migrated to Cunchelim, the nearby village. Not sure where he
was born. Could have been Goa or elsewhere. He died very young. He married Maria Sophie Luis/Lewis
Corte-Real (my grandmother) from Corlim in Bardez. The family name was Luis/Lewis and "Corte-Real"
was a title which was used as a family name. I believed they were married in 1924 or thereabouts.
Not sure if they were married in Goa or Bombay, but I think Goa. Would appreciate any information
anyone has to help me find my family tree. Thank you. Betty Pires.

William Nazareth, Mangalore, India
Email: billnazareth@yahoo.com
Date submitted: Sat, 13 Jan 2007
Comments: I am a 4th generation Catholic. I could trace through church records in Mangalore my
genealogy upto my great grandfather. I understood from my father that our ancestors were Hindus
from Goa and that they were converted to Catholicism by the Portugese. Their original surname
was 'Shenoy". After conversion they were sent to Mangalore. The place where they stayed in
Mangalore was called 'Shenoykodi' in Permude. However, my research is only upto the records
available in the church at Mangalore. There is no record available in Mangalore of the birth of
my great grandfather. I could only assume that he was born in Goa. I would be really grateful
if somebody who has any knowledge of the Nazareth/Shenoy genealogy, or as to where this information
would be available, to let me know.
