This is a pretty tight circle. I mentioned that my grandmother (Mary
Pimentel) and grandfather (John Carvalho) had an arranged marriage.
Their first child, my Aunt Mamie (Mary), married a Furtado and that
was also an arranged marriage. I cannot remember his name (have to ask
Aunt Irene) as my earliest memories are of them already being
divorced. And my earliest memories are of Aunt Mamie, Beverly and
Joyce, living at the farm with VoVo.

Quoting Richard Francis Pimentel <[email protected]>:
Hi Donna,
Linda and I are convinced we have a common ancestor that in being our great
grandfather Frank Pimentel's brother Marianno Furtado. We have not found the
smoking gun document but the indication is there. The only Marianno born in
the time frame of his age is Frank Pimentel's brother Marianno. In some
records Frank Pimentel's name is given as Francisco Pimentel Furtado. So it
is conceivable that Marianno just dropped the Pimentel name.

Hi Linda,
I've read Rick's response to this. It does get confusing. My grandparents
are Mary Constance (Pimentel) and John George Carvalho.
They had an arranged marriage. My Dad, John was their 2nd oldest child, born
in 1915. So Rick's grandmother and my grandfather are siblings, and his
grandfather and my grandmother are siblings. So it looks like we three are
very related, although I would guess you are more our generation, yes?

Am I wrong Rick in saying that Mary Pimentel (your grandmother) m.
John Carvalho? If so, which would mean their children, Carvalho's are
my cousins as well being that they are Pimentel (Furtado's)?

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
