thank-you mary this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Most of my azorean ancestors settled in Fall River, Swansea, and New Bedford. In my attempts to locate any that may have headed West. I am fascinated with how our azorean peoples migrated with little to nothing after leaving the islands and got to California and elsewhere. best, grace In a message dated 1/23/2011 7:04:02 P.M.
