Hello Leandro,
Sorry for the delay in reply. I've pasted below an excerpt from Pat
Corbera, one of our active list members, and a very generous source of
information.
The Famillas da Madeira e do Porto Santo by Conego Fernando de Menezes

> Vol 1 thru 5 are "A" surnames
> Vol 6 thru 10 are "B" surnames
> Vol 11 thru the first part of Vol 13 are "C" surnames The first few

and
ends there...
The books are out of print although some volumes to surface from time to
time on antiquarian book sites, but at a hefty price. The Madeira
archive
also provides copies of any pages required at about 1 euro a page. Let
me
know the specific names you're looking for and I'll check my copy to
see if
I can find it. Where are you based?
Janette

Hi Pat,
Thank you for following up. I did not receive this message. I do have
copies of the Calacas and the Calaca Medeiros volumes, however, it is
the
reference to the " to (the 'o' is superscript) de Gois de Mendonça'
that I
was curious about. For example, on page 420 of the Calacas Mideiros
book,
under Joao Maria Telo (listed top left-hand column) there is reference
to
this 'to de Gois de Mendonça. I would like to know what/where this
information is. There are several references to this throughout the
pages I
have.
I've tried the archive and they suspect it references Luiz Peter Clode's
unfinished book. I think I just saw something on the newly updated
archive
site with this author's name, but haven't yet had any time to
investigate.
Any light that can be shed will be highly appreciated.
Thanks again for all your help.
Janette

Jeanette,
Not sure if you ever received this message that I posted in Nov. 2006.
Please let me know if you did.
