Hi Everyone, I've been researching my family tree for a few years, but saved the Azores for last. Tonight I found your website and decided it was time to jump into my Portugese research.
Bernadina was my grandmother and she passed before I was born, in fact my father was only nine when she died and 11 when his father passed away. My father never talked about his parents much while I was growing up. I suppose it was just too painful for him to open the wounds? I've always been curious to find out more about my grandparents' family from the Azores. I would like to get a copy of Bernadina's birth certificate to confirm her parents names and I would love to learn more about here place of birth Vila France do Campo (at least that's what it appears to read on her immigration application) Can someone tell me where I need to send for her BC? Here's what I know Bernadina De Jesus Furtado b. 14 July 1896 Vila France Do Campo St. Miguel, Azores Arrived in Boston Massachusetts on 24 Feb 1916 She's listed as 5' 155 pounds brown hair brown eyes She sailed from St. Michael's on the SS Canopio According to Bernadina's death certificate her parents are listed as Ralina Furtado and Anna Corriera both born in St. Miguel Azores Also listed on her DC is two of her brother's; Manuel and Antonio She was married in Cranston, Rhode Island, USA to Manual R. Sousa (more about him later) Lexi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
