Hi Michelle, I am overwhelmed with all this information and cannot THANK YOU enough. It does indeed appear that this is the right Pedro do REGO. No I don't know if he had a brother or any other siblings. Most of my information is on the GARCIA/GRACE family. Margaret [Margarida ]GRACE is my husband's great aunt. The 1920 & 1930 censuses New Bedford confirm the names of their children just as you have given them. About 1921 they also had a daughter Mildred.
THANK YOU so very much Marge -----Original Message----- From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Michelle Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 7:33 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Peter REGO b. Sant Cruz Lagoa 10 January 1874 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...

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.
