Yvonne; Thank you for this information. I would not doubt that there are descendents of my paternal ancestral lines in Hudson. I know there were relatives in New Bedford when my grandfather, Jose Soares Coelho, first migrated to the U.S. I have not spent much effort in trying to locate them thus far but; hope to at some point in time. Right now, I'm still working backwards. Anyway, thanks again for the info. Sam in CA

On the other hand, many in Somerville and Cambridge came from Sao Miguel. I don't think that is a hard and fast rule though as my grandparents in law were from S. Miguel and ended up in Hudson. Fall River has the Portas da Cidade that is the replica of the one in Ponta Delgada, so many from Sao MIguel must have ended up there. I have heard that there are more Azoreans in Fall River now than in all of the Azores.
