Trevor, In my great grandparents case and the siblings they married other people from the Azores but not necessarily the same island.? My great grandfather was from San Miguel and married someone from Pico.? Then two other brothers married her sisters.? It was eligible women and men in the fraternal organizations and church in the town where they settled.? The others married Azorean Portuguese but not from San Miguel.? This is in California.
Hope that helps, Pat (Vieira Anselmo) Nostrome -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 6:40 am Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigrants Who Married, once Arriving in US ?
