I recently was able to extend my Terceira line a generation or two with help of the Terceira marriage Index (thanks to all involved who worked on it btw), and I came across some ancestors that I was hoping others might have some info on, or a connection to. (I saw some old posts regarding them and how a few people on the list were related)...
Melchior Coelho Borges and Ursula Coelho of Porto Judeu were the parents of Ines Fernandes, who was one of my direct ancestors. She was married to Manuel Nunes Pereira. I wanted to see if anyone had anything further back than Melchior Coelho Borges and Ursula Coelho? I found something from a post and someones genealogy page that stated the parents of Ursula Coelho were Pedro Goncalves Linhares and Justa Coelho, and the parents of Melchior Coelho Borges were Antonio Fernandes da Costa and Mecia Coelho, however no sources were listed. I would like to look at the actual sources if possible.
I scanned through a bit of the genealogias de Terceira by Coelho Borges, and the Fenix Angrense by Manuel Luis Maldanado and found an Ursula Coelho who was married to Melchior Coelho Borges. The parents of Urusula are listed as Gaspar Goncalves Linhares and Justa Coelho. Are these the correct individuals? and if so, is it Gaspar or Pedro Goncalves Linhares?
Any additional info would be greatly appreciated..what other sources are there etc..?..since the church records do not go back that far in that freguesia.
Thanks,
David
