I hoping somebody from the list has information regarding the people
below. I am searching on behalf of my (former) mother-in-law
pertaining to her Azorean ancestors and want to provide her (& my
sons) with as much background as possible. Time is of the essence as
she is 86 years old.
When I first began looking, my goal was to find out the name of her
great grandma as she expressed a desire to know her name. Now that I
have her name (after many wrong turns, dead-ends, bruises from
smacking my head on the desk due to complete frustration, swearing to
myself to never – not ever – to look any further only to return to
searching each time I started my computer), I can’t just stop there!
I’m finally posting the info I have (I’ve been a member of the list
for about a year) because I’m worried something will happen to her and
I’d still be waiting for possible connections.
Sorry for the length of the post but wanted to give as much available
info.
Thanks for any help provided and for much enjoyment learning about the
Portuguese through this list!
