I am not sure where Vincent and Julia were born. But they were born about 1860's 70's. Could have been born in the Azores,Mederia,or main land Portugal or in Georgetown British Guiana. All the children and the cousin were born in Georgetown. Any and all help would be greatly apprectaied. My e mail is beverlytucker1972@yahoo.com

Re: Teixeiras from British Guiana

beverlydallertucker — 2012-02-25 23:22:44Z

I have been trying to find my Teixeira ancestors. My Great Grand Parents were from Georgetown British Guiana might have been born in the Azores. My Great Grand Father was Vincent Teixeira and my Great Grand Mother was Julia D'Agrella Teixeira. Their children were Matilda (Hilda), Georgiana (Georgia, Georgie) (my grand mother 1905) and Vincent. I have no info about them. My Grand Mother came to the U.S. about 1925. Victor I was told went to Canada. There was also a cousin names Eva Ursala DeAbreu Godchaux who also came to the U.S. I am looking for any info about Vincent and Julia and maybe other relitives. I want to trace my tree back. Not having any luck anywhere...

Re: Teixeira Descendants

beverlydallertucker — 2012-02-24 00:14:19Z

I am searching for Teixeira's from British Guiana. My Great Grand Parents were Vincent Teixeira and Julia D'Agrella Teixeira. Their children Mathilda (Hilda) born about 1902 Georgiana 1904 and Victor born abt 1906 there was also a cousin Eva DeAbreu Godchaux. Vincent and Julia were born about the 1860's and 70's. Not sure where might have been Mederia Portugal since the Teixeira's migrated from there in the 1800's...
I sure could use some help... Back in the 1800's families all lived in the same town... All these Teixeira's in Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana in the mid to late 1800, Most if not all had to have been related...

Hello,

By chance do you have a Teodora Teixeira that might have been married to Joaquim dos Santos?

Teixeira Descendants

TeixeiraN — 2011-08-20 17:08:02Z

Hello Descendants of the Teixeira's, this is my first post on this site and will let all of you know I am just starting some intensive research on this name. I first began a search aprox. five years ago and discovered some facts on our lineage. Somewhere in the archives of the internet I remember reading something about an Admiral who was a great Sea Captain/Explorer around about the time of Great Explorations, time line possibly 1400's to 1500's. Please lets all connect the dots to our lineage. Thank You - N Teixeira.

Re: Guyanese Teixeira's

sat1112 — 2011-06-30 13:11:45Z

I'm married to a Teixeira whose father is from British Guiana and family were from Madeira, Portugal. We live in Toronto, Canada and know of an Asolita who was Asolita Teixeira, and married a Gomes also from British Guiana, they live in the Toronto area. Asolita is related to my husband's father. Not sure if it's the same person.I believe Teixeiras who migrated to British Guiana from Madeira are all related. Probably brothers and cousins from one family went to British Guiana from Madeira.

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

lavelino — 2010-04-28 19:18:11Z

My great-grandfather was Sebastiao Teixeira from Sao Filipe, Fogo. He had two sons, Augusto (my grandfather) and Romao, my great-uncle. They came to Rhode Island in the early 1900's. They had 6 sisters who resided in Cape Verde, Lisbon, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. They have all passed away. As far as I know, most Teixeira's from Fogo are related.

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

nellynandes — 2010-04-19 17:02:56Z

By the way my grandmother is Guilhermina Teixeira. Any Teixeira from Fogo or Brava should know about her.

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

nellynandes — 2010-04-19 17:01:46Z

Teixeira is a huge family in mostly Fogo, however you'll find many that live in Brava because they worked there and just stuck around. My grandmother is Teixeira (right off the boat) from Mosteiros, and her nephew Fernando Teixeira is currently the Mayor of Mosteiros. Her brother Hugo Teixeira is one of the biggest businessmen and landowners in Brava. I'm the first generation of my family to be born in the States. Both my parents and all my other aunts and uncles were born and raised in CV and came over in the late 70s early 80s.

Re: Hello

catrst — 2009-04-08 22:34:56Z

Sounds like the Texiera/Teixiera family I am researching.

Joe De Texiera b 1857 Portugal, lived in Hawaii.
wife, Minnie born 1868 Portugal, lived in Honululu.
Children:
Antone born abt 1886, Hawaii
Paul born abt 1891, Hawaii
John born abt 1894, Hawaii
Louisa born abt 1896, Hawaii

JOHN married someone names Jessie.
this is the family I am researching.
They had at least 9 children. The oldest was named
BELINDA Texiera, born 30 May 1915, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Belinda married Eliseo Pereira.
They had about 6 children.

Looking for more information on this family.

( I am helping one of Belinda & Eliseo's grandchildren research his ancestry.)

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

alcosby — 2009-01-11 01:45:50Z

My great-grandfather came with a cousin (brother?) named Franco. They came from a village near Sao Felipe called Inhuco (on the western side of Fogo). It said he had a sister, Maria.

Our great-grandfathers were probably very close in age, maybe cousins since most Teixeira's I'm meeting are from Fogo!

If you can get more info from any family, please try and let me know what you learn!

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

alcosby — 2009-01-11 01:38:47Z

Thanks for replying! My father's mother was 1/2 Cape Verdean (her dad was Manuel Teixeira from Fogo.

I found his ship record and it said he came a village near Sao Felipe called Inhuco (on the western side of Fogo). It said he had a sister, Maria and I'm sure many other siblings and family. He was also VERY light and I've been told that his mother was Leopoldina from Spain (don't know for sure).

Right now, Teixeira is my only link to CV until I can find out more...still trying to research and meet people! Thankfully I'm in New England (although most CV are in eastern MA) and the internet is REALLY helpful!

My father, Miquel S. Teixeira, was born in Funchal, Madeira in 1926. He had several uncles who emigrated around the early 1900s. One went to Hawaii, another to San Francisco, another to Boston, another to So. Africa, and his own father, Juan, to Buenos Aires. Unfortuntely, I don't know the names of my great-uncles!

There are LOTS of Teixeiras--it's a very common name. But you never know!

heh mano, yeh Teixeira há muito hehe, theres like million, i'm near you in the small island of jersey just off france ya know, channel islands. Ma dad's from Madeira and no dought that his family ancesters are from mainland Portugal.

There was also this gay kid who was in my year at school and he was also a Teixeira which was embarrising becuz then ppl would mistake me for him, aaaarrgg.

But yeh there's loads haha.

Re: Manuel Teixeira, b. 8-23-1848 Azores,Portugal

lisboainjersey — 2008-06-12 13:06:35Z

well da thing is, in Portugal pretty much every one had José de something or Maria de something as their names. So for a more accurate approach it would be handy to ask the question again but with their second or middle names. My dad is called Jose ..... Teixeira, my grandfather is Jose.....Teixira and my Grandmother is Maria.......Teixeira, this side of my family is from Madeira if that may be of any usefulness.

Mas boa sorte na mesma prima.

Re: Manuel Teixeira, b. 8-23-1848 Azores,Portugal

ed11127 — 2008-05-08 00:58:37Z

My grandfather was Manual Teixeira and was from the same location. He came to the US and married my grandmother who was much younger. He had a number of brothers who lived in the New Bedford, Mass area.

Re: Cape Verde Teixeira

jobela — 2008-03-05 17:18:37Z

I am responding because I am Cape Verdean, from the Island of Brava; and my father's family settled in New Bedford too.

Just wondering if we're somehow connected beyond the surname? Mother's side includes Tavares, DaRosa, Gomes, and more....Living in RI, and there are many Cape Verdeans here and in NE...

I am interested in Heritage and history of Cape Verdeans, and have studied extensively regarding the history of the islands but have not pulled my geno-threads together yet...

Manuel Teixeira (and cousin Frank)

alcosby — 2008-03-02 05:02:15Z

I am doing family research and really could use some help connecting to my Teixeira relatives. This is what I know so far:

*My great-grandfather MANUEL JOSE TEIXIERA came to US ~1910
*came to MA on the "Irmaos Amigos" from Fogo, Cape Verde Isl
*came with cousin Franco who died in New Bedford (1920-30)
*settled in the Taunton/Fall River, Massachusetts area
*married Ruth Odom had 4 kids :Julia/Everett/Margaret/Ruth
*I know he had sisters (including Maria) in Fogo (Villa de S. Felipe?)

I'm sure he went back to Cape Verde many times, but I have NO idea who his family was. My dad has thinks someone way back was named Leopoldina who was from Spain/Portugal. I do know that he changed his name when he got here to Joseph (from Jose?); I saw his gravestone says Manuel Joseph.

If ANYTHING sounds familiar, please let me know so I can focus my efforts - I'd appreciate anything!

Have a peaceful & productive day,

~Alysia

Re: Teixeria

alcosby — 2008-03-02 04:43:13Z

This might not be a match, but it is truly a coincidence that my great-grandfather came to Taunton in 1910, married and had 4 children (including my grandmother)...

His name was MANUEL JOSE TEIXEIRA and he came with his brother (or cousin?) FRANCO...they came from Fogo, Cape Verde Islands...

Have a peaceful & productive day,

Re: Dias Texeira

Hi! My Teixiera's are also Cape Verdean and I am doing family research and really could use some help connecting to my Cape Verdean relatives. This is what I know so far:

*My great-grandfather was MANUEL JOSE TEIXIERA from Fogo
*came to Massachusetts on the "Irmaos Amigos" around 1910

*settled in the Taunton/Fall River, MA area
*married Ruth Odom had 4 kids :Julia/Everett/Margaret/Ruth
*I know he had sisters in Fogo (Villa de S. Felipe?)
*sister was Maria Conc___? (can't read the name on manifest)
*sent $ to CV family from Cardosa's supermarket

I'm sure he went back to CV many times, but I have NO idea who his family was. My dad has thinks someone way back was named Leopoldina who was from Spain/Portugal. Manuel was VERY light, and he changed his name when he got here to Joseph (from Jose?); I saw his gravestone says Manuel Joseph.

I really want to go to CV within 1-2 yrs to visit, but I want to do more research so I can actually meet distant relatives. If ANYTHING sounds familiar, please let me know so I can focus my efforts - I'd appreciate anything!

Cape Verde Teixeira

alcosby — 2007-07-29 21:17:08Z

My great-grandfather, Manuel Jose Teixeira, was born around 1890 on the island of Fogo, Cape Verde. He left Cape Verde around 1910 and came to New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. He came with his brother (or cousin) Franco.

I know he visited and sent $$ to his sisters and family back in Fogo. I believe his mother was Leopoldina (from Spain I think), and I think his father was Franco Teixeira.

I am looking for ANY INFORMATION on his family in Cabo Verde, living or dead. Again ANY information about ANY Teixeira in Cape Verde may be helpful...thanks!

Re: origem do nome teixeira

alcosby — 2007-07-29 21:06:19Z

My great-grandfather was Manuel Teixeira from Cape Verde Islands (Fogo). His mother's name was Leopoldina, and I was told she came from Spain.

Re: Manuel Teixeira, b. 8-23-1848 Azores,Portugal

sapphiredolphin — 2006-10-23 03:22:45Z

If this Manuel Teixeira is my great grandfather, then yes Manuel and Maria had kids. IF (big if) they are the right people then I know of at least two daughters. Unfortunately I cannot quite pin down my grandmother's name. I was told that it was Geraldine but all the documents I have say that her name is Marie (Maria?) I do have a picture of my great grandfather and I know it is Manuel Teixeira

Marie (Geraldine) married a man named Allenn Brooks Norsworthy and they moved to Arizona.
Does anybody have more info???

Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ian, I am also Ian Teixeira from British Guyana, son of Clement and grandson of Clement (died around 1961-1962). I have been trying to trace my Portuguese roots for sometime but don't have much to go on. My father states that his grandfather was one of three brothers that settled on the East Coast of Guyana. He also had a brother by the name of John (but he didn't die in '72) and thinks that he also had a brother named Joseph. The rest is sketchy.

Teixeiras from British Guiana

ITeixeira1123 — 2005-06-10 18:39:45Z

I am Ian A.Teixeira, son of Claude, grandson of Francis Borge Teixeira (b:10.Oct.1894; d: 29.Apr.1918) & Claudia Nunes. Great grandson of ? Teixeira (have a photo/no first name) who may have been the 1st of my Line to come to Guiana at that time from the Azores or Madeira. Francis had two known brothers: Joseph (b:?.?.1878; d:16.Apr.1948) and John Marcelinus (b:16.Jan.?; d:2.Jun.1972) Jonh Marcelinus was married to Olidia Moura. Their father, the unnamed one, was married to a Mary Kaseira (sp?) and there is also a picture of her. It is presumed that these two were probably married in Madeira or the Azores and came then moved to British Guiana to start their Line. My Line comes down from Francis and I have lots of data. I do have some data for John's Line. Nothing of Joseph's. An Edward was noted somewhere also. Please Email me ian_tex@hotmail.com if you have anything interesting to add.

Teixeira in "British Guiana"

jatqui — 2004-01-03 07:37:26Z

Hello Ian,
My name is Gary De Nobrega. My Grandmother, Adalaide
Veonilda (Nee-Figueira) De Nobrega was born in what
was then called, "British Guiana", in 1905. Her mother's
maiden name was Teixeira. At this time I do not know her
first name. There is mention of a g. Teixeira, a J.M. Teixeira
and an Alvaro Teixeira. My great grandmother, Teixeira married
Joa Figueira. They had 4 children that I know of. Adalaide I
think was next to the youngest. Her sister was Ursula, and her
two brothers were Joseph and Charlie. Adalaide moved to NYC, NY
in 1922 right after they were married. Joseph and Charlie moved
to NYC later on in the twenties. Joseph died around 1979. I am
not too sure when Charlie died. They have three brilliant children.
One is a Rhodes scholar and professor at Rutgers University. The other two
are also professors at different colleges. I could get more info. but it would be limited.
Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at E-Mail (Jatqui@infoave.net)
