Shirley, Nothing gets by you! Good catch. Yes, that is my uncle, Al. I got word from my sister last night. I hadn't seen much of him for a while but I remember him well when I was growing up in Somerville, MA. My mom had 2 brothers (Al and Manny) and 6 sisters, all of which were first generation Americans of Azorian immigrants (Manual and Mary) who came to the U.S. in the early 1900's, met and were married in Cambridge, MA around 1912. Al was the oldest. Both brothers have now passed, but all of the sisters are still kicking. My mom, Hilda, will be 88 in March. There is longevity in that Azorean blood!
Thanks for thinking of me and sending the link.

(Santos) Menezes. He had seven sisters. The sisters are still living in the Boston area including a sister Alice in Arlington,but his two daughters are in Fall River and Somerset,MA. I think that you can access the obituary at http:// www.heraldnews.com <http://www.heraldnews.com> <http://www.heraldnews.com> I thought that he might be one of your Menezes. If you can't get to the Herald News site, let me know and I'll copy and send the obituary to you. <http://www.heraldnews.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 5:30:46 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese Geneology (Menezes) <http://www.heraldnews.com> Shirley, I have a Manuel Josito Menezes born at Ribeiro Grand, San Miguel on March 20, 1888. I actually go back one more generation with the marriage record of Manuel's father (Jancintho ?) to a Pierra but can't lay my hands on the record at the moment. I'd love to find a connection.

My Great-Grand-Parents (Menezes/Pierera) were married in the 1880's. My grandparents (Menezes/Santos) both immagrated to the U.S. (Cambridge, MA) in the 1900's and settled in Arlington, MA. Their family grew to 9 children (2 sons and 7 daughters) and all but one are still alive and living in various parts of Massachusetts. I'd be interested in learning of anyone else with a Menezes lineage. Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
