Public transportation is very good in the New Bedford, Dartmouth area. What island is your family from and what parish? Maria Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Hey all, I'm finally coming up on my student teaching semester and should graduate this coming Spring. I am currently considering taking the Intensive Portuguese summer course at UMASS Darthmouth. I figure since that lasts for 5 weeks or so, I'll probably have some time to go around and do some physical searching for info. Both sets of my Portuguese G-Grandparents came in through New Bedford and I believe one set remained there, and the other moved around a bit into Dartmouth and possibly Fall River (I'm not sure why that name comes to mind at the moment.) The only thing is, I have no idea how I'll get anywhere without a car. I don't know how cities are situated up there, do they all just kind of butt up together? I live in a county where we have a lot of unincorporated areas between the cities (for example the school I'm teaching in is 34 miles away from my home...but Hillsborough County (Tampa Bay area) is pretty spread out. I have no idea what to expect in MA. Aside from that, what key places should I go to? What kind of info should I look for? Seeing as I'm in Florida, I've only ever done online research. Hands on stuff is completely new to me. And I suppose if it turns out that I can't make it to the summer program, I'll get around to hiring someone else to do the legwork for me. I have a quickly aging great aunt who would love to know more about her history. Nicole Rodriques -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
