Hi Shirl, I'm going away for a few days so let me give you a few more pieces of info from the top of my head that may click with what you've told me so far: 1) the Polish parish in Warren was St. Casmir and it has closed, however, its files have to be kept at another church in the area so I'll look that up when I return. Since your Mom's folks were from Austria they may have gone there. The Portuguese parish is St. Thomas and they are still open. The church with the cemetery is St. Alexander's (Italian) and they should have the records for it.
2) I am familiar with the last name of Kozik since there is a priest in the Diocese of Fall River (MA) by that name and I believe he may be half portuguese. His name is Fr. Thomas Kocik, is stationed at Santo Christo parish in Fall River and might be someone of interest for you. When I return I'll look up where the files for St. Casmir's are if you are interested. Hope this helps for now.
