Hello again Marge
Looking at his death record found at UMass Dartmouth confirms that the
marriage record (1899) I found showing his wife (second) as Maria
aka/Margarida Garcia is the same. It also matches the death date that you
gave. Children were: Guilherme, Antonio, Pedro, Jose & Joao do Rego. I was
hoping to find siblings mentioned so I could check their marriage records at
NEHGS for the parents names. I can only assume from my past experience that
since they weren't mentioned they passed before him. FYI...this death record
say's he was in the states for 60 years. I've seen the surname Garcia
changed to Grace in the past so there is still a possibility that this is
the correct person but others in the group can confirm if they've seen that
as well.
I did find another marriage record (same date) at familysearch showing her
born in California as well as Peter's/aka Pedro born 1906 showing her first
name as Margaret.
If you know the names of any of his siblings I'll check NEHGS for you if you
don't have a membership with them. I did find a Manuel do Rego (born Sao
Miguel) married to a Susan Maskelly (Scotland) on 3/21/1904. His father is
shown as Antone do Rego & his mother as Annie Isabella. Mother's name is
close enough to be the same person but just not sure without knowing if
Pedro had a brother named Manuel. BTW...he was living in Fall River.
Another source (familysearch.org pilot search) shows Pedro's (Sr) mothers
name as Anna Izabel Trema...for the same marriage record on May 11, 1895 in
New Bedford to Margarida Arruda (first marriage).
FYI...a Manuel da Rego was born to Pedro & Margarida (first wife) in New
Bedford on 1/25/1896 & died 7/20/1896 in New Bedford. The death record
states the cause of death was Cholera. Parents shown as Pedro & Margarida da
Rego. Both parents are shown born in St. Michaels.
I had already found the above information before receiving your recent
message but didn't have a chance to email it. I thought I would send it
anyway just in case.
Best of luck in your search...
Michelle

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Peter REGO b. Sant Cruz Lagoa 10 January 1874
Dear List members,
If while any of you are searching the baptism records for Santa Cruz ,
Lagoa ,Sao Miguel and you see the name Pedro de REGO [ Peter Rego] would you
please let me know what the record says?
I have been searching for the names of his parents to no avail.
I have the following from various records here in the states.
His draft Reg Card New Bedford, MA states he was b. 10 Jan 1874. His name on
this record Pedro do REGO.
A conversation with the priest at Our lady of Mt Carmel, New Bedford, MA
confirms his birth as recorded on his son John's baptism record as Santa
Cruz, Lagoa, Sao Miguel. His parents name not listed.
He emigrated in 1895 and was naturalized in 1904 according to the 1920
census New Bedford, MA.
The Naturalization records on Ancestry.com shows he was naturalized 25 June
1905. He was living in Fall River at the time. It also confirms his date of
birth as 10 Jan 1874. It does not give his date of arrival.
His death record 21 Oct 1942 New Bedford, mA., states -names of father &
mother CANNOT be learned.
I have his marriage date and the information on all his children.
Unfortunately I DO NOT read Portuguese and current problems with my eyesight
makes it even more difficult to try to read the records now available from
Lagoa that are on line.
Should anyone run across this name I would very much appreciate knowing what
the record says.
Thank you
Marge [Howes] PERRY
