Date submitted: before 1998
Surnames: Gonsalves(Gonçalves), Perreira(Pereira), Teixeira
Comments: Grandfather Jacintho Gonsalves( Jacinto Gonçalves in Madeira) born in Campanário married to Mary Perreira (Maria Texeira on registration to come to Hawaii). Might have been known as Maria Perreira on other Madeira documents. The came to Hawaii on the Willisden in Dec. 1911. They had a son Joseph (Jose Sanno on ship records) b 1910. Maria would have been born around 1888 and Jacinto(Campanario) around 1880. There was also two Manuel Goncalves on the ship with them and believe at least one was a brother married to a Euclia (Emilia)also born in Campanario. On Jacintho's obituary it named two living brothers, Frank and Anastacio Goncalves and a sister Anna Goncalves of Madeira. Maria's mother was Augusta Perreira(came around 1940s to New Bedford, Mass.) We think she lived with one of Maria's sisters named Rose or ? Trandade in Acushnet, Mass. She had at least two brothers we think there names were Antone and Manuel Perreira(not sure if they remained in Madeira). This is all I have. If you make a connection with any of these names, please email me.
Obrigada! Cathy
