Wow. What a find Rick. Great project this collector has going on.
One of the supposed 'facts' about the Azores that has always been
illogical to me is that the islands were uninhabited until the 15th
century. Just has never made sense to me considering the ancient
long-distance trade routes of the world. I had some down-time
yesterday (from my stupid linguistics class) so checked out
Archaeology in the Azores. About 95% of what's being done is
under-water archaeology however--I found a just released article about
hypogea-burial caves-that have recently been found on Corvo and
Terceira dating to 2000 BP. So much anthropological work that needs to
be done here. I was quite excited.

Hi Donna,
A collector of records in Portugal gave me a list of all the recordings made
by Uncle Manny. Of the 100+ recordings made he has or has located 75. His
goal is to digitize the recordings and release a CD of them. He is involved
with a recording company there.

So Rick, do you have the link to RCA Victor? If not I can send you what I
have--again, sent to me by that ole Diane--some of his recordings.

Hi Joanne,
Now it looks like we may have a common ancestor. My Carvalho's are
from Bretanha and I do have some Medeiros in my line from there. If
your mother remembered Bella then she definitely knew the family.
The Carvalho Family was very large does your mother remember my great
uncle Manuel J. Carvalho? He was an opera singer and recorded a number
of records from 1917 to 1925. I have been try to locate his records I
have some but am always looking for more they are all in Portuguese on the
old 78 rpm format.
They were on Victor (RCA) and Columbia.
I never lived in Fall River. When my grandmother married she went to
Attleboro.

Rick,
I spoke with my Mom today and showed her the pictures you sent. She
remembers that her cousins were Carvalhos who lived on Pitman Street
and she thought the picture was of Bella (I didn't tell her who it was
before I showed it to her). She also mentioned her cousin Gloria
possibly being in that family - she still lives in Fall River and is
about my Mom's age (89) and works at St. Michael's Club on Webster
Street. Is any of this familiar to you? Let me know.
Joanne
