Bettencourts In Hawaii
Aloha all,
Here is what I have on our Bettencourts
My grandma on my fathers side was
Adelaide Medeiros Bettencourt
her parents were
F> August Medeiros Bettencourt
M> Maria JAC daCosta (? medeiros)
August and Maria both worked for the queen here in Hawaii- August tended to her horses and Maria she was her seamstress and friend? stories I remember from grandparents was a story about how the Queen tricked Maria to eat black dog or kidded it was black dog.
August & Maria had I think 8 or 9 children one of which was my grandmother (Adelaide)
the names of their children were:
(Adelaide),(Ceaser),(Mary(Johnnson)),(Adeline), (Agnus),(August),(Eugene) & (Charlie)
*Mary was the oldest of them- she had no kids
*Agnus married a Macintosh
*August Jr had 7 children wife - Agnus Nobriga?
*Eugene was a boxer
*Charlie died young in his 40's wife was Edna
*Ceaser had aprox 4 children and lived over 100+
*Adeline ? married a Blacksheer?
If anything rings a bell and you find a possible match drop a line :) take care & Aloha to all ~ Lynn (Rootz50)
