A few blocks to the north is "St Joseph's Church," which also served some of the Portuguese community. Technically, however, St. Joseph's was not considered a "Portuguese" church, and, it was not actually in "Fox Point" per se - it served the greater East Side area of Providence, and its members included members of other ethnic groups. Some Portuguese families chose to become members of St. Joseph's because of its proximity to where they lived, or, because it operated a Parochial School (Cleary School). As for your Grandfather, Family Search.org lists a 1913 Massachusetts marriage of Manuel S. Machado, Jr., and Isabella J. Santos. Possibly, this could be your Grandfather: Massachusetts Marriages, 1841-1915 for Manuel S Machado Name: Manuel S Machado Titles & Terms: Event: Marriage Event Date: 30 Jan 1913 Event Place: Tisbury, , Massachusetts Gender: Male Age: 37 Birth Date: 1876 Birthplace: Providence, , Rhode Island Marriage Registration Place: Tisbury, , Massachusetts Estimated Birth Year: 1876 Father: Manuel S Machado Mother: Annie Jesus Spouse: Isabella J Santos Spouse's Father: Joseph C Santos Spouse's Mother: Josephine Silvia Record Number: 1353 Film Number: 2409945 Digital Folder Number: 4329370 Image Number: 00090 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Apr 7, 12:48 am, Gayle Machado <[email protected]> wrote: > This question is for those back on the East Coast.
