Hi Marge: I looked for your Pedro in Santa Cruz-Lagoa. I looked on film 1438007. I looked from January 1872 - through 1877. This is the only PEDRO that I found. _________________________________
This is what I found: #17, page 8 left Pedro EXPOSTO (orphan) Orphan in this village at 5:00 a.m. on 31 Jan 1874. baptised: 4 Feb 1874 in SC-Lagoa (It says something about:) Anna de Jesus, single, resident Rua da Roca GODPARENTS Manoel de Medeiros, SACRISTAO this church & Maria da Luis, married, resident SC-Lagoa I am going to try to SCAN and send you a copy of what I have found. The best thing that you could do is to talk to my cousin GEORGE PACHECO at the FHC in Taunton, Massachusetts. He knows how to read Portuguese. (I didn't do too good reading this document.

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.
