General Notes: Terceira Island, the island of TERCEIRA was the third Azorean island to be discovered and where Vasco da Gama buried his brother Paulo after their journey to India. It is distinguished by its capital, Angra do Heroismo, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage list as a prime example of European town planning. Its 16th-century cathedral, fine churches, and mansions are all of considerable interest.

The best view of the harbor and the city is from Monte Brasil, a crater on the western side of the bay. At the foot of Monte Brasil is São João Baptista Fortress, one of the largest examples of 16th century European military architecture. Another fortress by the harbor, Fortaleza de São Sebastião, dates from the same time.

To the northeast of the island is Algar do Carvão, a dramatic volcanic hole with an enormous subterranean cave open to visitors.
A memorable experience in Terceira is the "Touradas à Corda", the running of rope-restrained bulls that takes place from spring to autumn.

Research Notes: "Terreiros" - a settlement in the parish of Manadas in the municipality of Velas, the island of Sáo Jorge in the Azores Islands.
Ter
Flores Island - two islands in the western group of the Azores Islands. Area of 143 km2, population of 3907 and together with the island of Corvo Island of the western archipelago, lies within the North American Plate.

Manuel had six cranberry bogs. Each kid got one and John got 2.

On 13 November 2008, in a discussion with Aunt Kathleen Costa, she stated that Nan (Marie Harney Stevens) did not want the family name changed because she did not like the Portugese, but rather because the family name was really Esteves/Estevez instead of Soza. Aunt Kathleen also stated that before Uncle Paul Soza died he too said the same thing. This requires more research.
