Date submitted: Sun, 24 Oct 1999
Surnames: Nunes, Berbeito(?)
Comments: 1. Antonio Nunes, born approximately 1843-1853 (guessing) on Madeira.
2. He married Maria DeJesus. 3. They had at least one child, Manuel Nunes,
born July 9th, 1873, in Madeira, we believe Funchal. It was his death certificate
that provided the information. 4. He married Carlota Barbeito (born March 20,
1873) in the 1890's, she was from Calheta, Madeira. 5. They had three children
that lived, one of which, Manuel Nunes (born Aug 12, 1899, same name) was my
grandfather. 6. Entire family came to U.S., older family members remember
being told the date of April 1, 1906.
I have new and updated information. Over the weekend I received an English
translation of my Grandfathers Baptism Certificate. It is a hand written paper
but legible. From it I can confirm the following:
1. My grandfather, Manuel Nunes (born Aug 12, 1899, Funchal) was baptised on
September 3, 1899 in "This parish church of Santa Maria Maior, district
and diocese of Funchal"
2. His father, also Manuel Nunes, was born July 9, 1873, in the parish of
Ponta da Sol, district of the same name of this diocese.
3. His mother, Carlota Barbeito, was born March 20, 1873 in Arco Da Calheta,
district of Calheta, of this same diocese.
4. His parents Manuel and Carlota, were married in the Cathedral of this town
(Funchal?)
5. The family lived in the Quinta do Acciaioli.
6. Paternal grandparents were listed as Antonio Nunes and Ana de Jesus.
Sources obtained before, claimed her name was Maria de Jesus. Since this is
the first source I have obtained from Madeira, I will take Ana de Jesus as
the excepted name until sources prove otherwise.
7. Maternal grandparents were listed as José Barbeito and Jesuina da
Incarnacao.

Comments: My Family lived in Funchal Madeira. The Joaquin family went to
Hawaii in about 1906. My grandfather's name was Manuel Au Si Sau (we think).
His name was changed to Joaquin somewhere in the records at that time. My
grandmothers name was Maria Pereira Joaquin. Their Children's names were
Gloria, Georgina, Isabella and Joseph and Delphina. From the same village
(Funchal Madeira Island) my father left for the east coast in about 1911. His
name was also Charles Pereira. His mothers name was Virginia and his fathers
name was Manuel (I think). His father died in Madeira. His mother and five of
my fathers siblings came to Buffalo New York after my father worked off their
passage. Their names were Joseph, Manuel, Natalie, Eva and Tony (who changed
his surname to Perry). I am looking for any information on their ancestry
and\or decedents. I am also willing to furnish over six hundred names that I
have accumulated in my family tree data base.

Island: Madeira
Surname: d'Oliveira Dos Santos
Comments: My great-grandfather,ANTONIO d'OLIVEIRA dos SANTOS, died on Oct.1,
1896 in Funchal at the parish of Sao Pedro. At the time of his death, he was
73 so his birth year must have been around 1823. In his obituary, his parents
were listed as Francisco d'Oilveira dos Santos of Funchal and Maria de Jesus
from San Martin. He left a wife and children. His wife's name was Maria or
Mariam Brettam(?). It was at this point where the film we were viewing his
obituary on became very dark and hard to read. We do know that his wife must
have been his second wife as he was listed as a widower in 1859, which was
when my grandfather, JOAO BAPTISTA d'OLIVEIRA was baptized. My grandfather,
Joao Baptista d'Olveira, was born out of wedlock as we just found out, but as
the obituary of my great-grandfather stated, he left a wife and children. So
there must be relatives of my grandfather, be it half-brothers or half-sisters
and their descendants somewhere in the world. There are so many questions left
unanswered. Antonio claimed his paternity by being there at Joao's baptism but
there is a rumor that my grandfather may have been adpoted later on but by
whom and when, I don't know. I do know that someone cared enough to give hima
proper education as my grandfather, Joao, read and wrote in 3 languages,
English, French and Portguese and he worked for the British Consulate in
Madeira before emigrating to Hawaii in 1887. Joao was the author of the
Journal of the "Thomas Bell" which he wrote on his trip aboard this Bark from
Madeiro to Hawaii. If there is anyone out there who has any of these names in
their family trees, I would appreciate hearing from you and hearing your
family remembrances. Thank you.
