First sentence: In 1491 a navigator bearing our family name secretly left a small port on the island of Pico, in the Azores, and sailed east- southeast toward the coast of Africa before he turned abruptly and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, landing someplace on the central coast of what is now Florida, beating Christopher Columbus to the new world by close to a year.
