DESCENDANTS OF ANDRES FERNANDES LOPES

MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM MADEIRA (THE ISLAND) PORTUGAL. IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION ON THIS LOPES FAMILY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO FORWARD, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. FROM RECORDS REVIEWED TO DATE ALL MARRIAGES AND BAPTISMS TOOK PLACE IN THE CHURCH SAO PEDRO, DA PONTA DO PARGO, CONCELHO DA CALHETA, DIOCESE DE FUNCHAL

STILL RESEARCHING THE LINE OF ANDRES LOPES WHO APPEARS TO BE THE FOUNDER OF THE LOPES CLAN IN MADEIRA. ORIGINAL RECORDS FROM THE EARLY 1600'S AND LATE 1500'S ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND AND SECONDARY SOURCES ARE NOT VERY COMPREHENSIVE IN THEIR PRESENTATION MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GO BACK FURTHER THAN WE HAVE TO DATE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE TOWN HAD BAPTISM RECORDS AND MARRIAGE RECORDS THAT SAY TOMO 2, THIS INDICATES THAT THE OLDER SET CONTAINING RECORDS PRIOR TO 1646 HAVE BEEN LOST
