Gayle, I believe this is the family you are looking for, and if so, someone has done a genealogy study of this family and it is listed on Ancestry.com. Is this your study? If you are a very lucky girl.
It lists Frank Mariano Vieira as being born in Faial de Terra, Sao Miguel. It says Mariano De San Bento Da Silva was born in Ribiera Grande, San Miguel, Azores, Portugal There are 4 family pictures. And it appears this person has also participated in a DNA study. "E" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
