I am researching Manuel Duarte De Mello b. abt. 1872 Sao Miguel. His wife is listed as Francisca Vittoria(sp?) b. abt. 1877 Sao Miguel. I believe they married in the US and would appreciate if someone who has NEHGS could look up a marriage ca 1893. Their first son Antone Mello was born June 9, 1896, Manuel Duarte Mello, Jr. b. July 20, 1898, Gill Mello b. abt. 1904. They were all born in Fairhaven/New Bedford area. I would like a lookup of their birth records to see how parents names are listed and birthplace of parents - they did have several other children whose names I have (trying not to be too greedy). I am trying to find out exactly where in Sao Miguel they came from. The parents are listed as coming to US 1891 but I cannot find the ship they came over on. Manuel Sr. also went by Manuel Duarte. I found the WWI Draft Regis. for Manuel Duarte Mello Jr. but the one who I think is the father has the wrong birthdate and address. I have found them on all census records. I believe Francisca had a sister Maria Vittoria who married an Antone Resendes(sp?) and it looks like they had no children.
Thanks for any help you can give me. "E" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
