Hello. I believe this Bocarro family is connected with my Barretto-de Souza family of Bombay and Calcutta via Francis Stanislaus Joseph DE GA (1886-1957) who married Charlotte Elizabeth Bocarro (1891-1979) in 1911 at St Andrews Church in Bandra. Francis was a descendant of Sir Michael/Miguel de Souza.

Sir Michael was the brother of Anthony de Souza, Manoel de Souza and Thomas de Souza II (the sons of Thomas de Souza (I) as shown in the de Souza genealogical tree I got from the British National Archives). Thomas de Souza (II) had a son named Thomas de Souza (III) who married Pascoa Barretto who was the eldest daughter of Luis/Lewis and Deodata/Deodita Barretto). In some books this Pascoa Barretto-de Souza was credited to have been instrumental in the building of a church in Calcutta in the early 1800s.

Luis Barretto (Pascoa Barretto-de Souza's father) was the son of Antonio Lourenco Barretto who married PASCOA DE SOUZA and I read somewhere that she was a sister or even half-sister to Sir Michael de Souza. Can you she more light on PASCOA DE SOUZA's parentage or relationship to the earlier de Souza's I mentioned? PASCOA was a brickwall for me for the last 15 years. Thank you and regards.
