I have traced and documented my father's ancestry back for 5 generations. He was from Terceira but his great grandfather and great great grandfather were from Prainha do Norte, Pico. My great grandfather Francisco Jose da Terra also known as Jose Francisco Terra was a famous Cantoria ao Desafio singer. Manoel da Terra and Antonio da Terra were from Pico and then there are three Francisco Jose Terra's from Terceira in the area of Cabo da Praia, Porto Martins, Sao Sebastiao, and Porto Judeu.
