Comments: I am looking for any information on my grandmother's twin sister,
Carolina de Freitas. She and her sister Christina were baptised in the parish
church of The Nativity of our Lady of Faial, Madeira, in the district of Santa
Anna. Her mother's name was Maria de Freitas who married Joao Fernandes on
29th day of Jan. 1876. My grandmother Christina married Jose de Freitas
Ferreira in the same church on the 4th of February in 1904. They later
immigrated to Hawaii. All I know is that her twin sister Carolina may have
immigrated to Brazil in the San Paula area, but I am not sure. Most all of my
grandparents were baptized and married in the Church of the Nativity of Our
Lady of Faial in the district of Santa Ana. If you have any information on
Carolina, please contact me.

Surnames: (In sao jorge) Aguiar and Farraia
Comments: im still of first generation portuguese as i was born in madeira
but in none of the lugares above. I was born in Funchal but then moved to the
parish of santana and then on to england. Im just trying to find the
descendency of the names above especially farraia and aguiar as they are very
uncommon portuguese names especially farraia. so if anybody out there can
help, please do! The name couldnt possibly be FERREIRA as that name appears
somewhere else in the family tree, my paternal grandfathers mothers maiden
name was farraia, and he is known throughout his "Lugar" Achada de marques,
which is part of 'sitio da Ilha' in Sao Jorge as just Farraia because the
name is so unusual, thats why im trying to find out where it possibly came
from, even thought it is similar to ferreira i doubt it has any link with it.
Also another name i came accross recently was: 'CAI-AGUA'. I know it means
'falling water', but still it intrigues me that my family have such strange
names!
