This is the only info (about 10 years old) that I have about the book that Gayle cites. I don't know if the phone number is valid either.
Cheri =================== "OUR PORTUGUESE HERITAGE, 1860 - 1990: AN INFORMAL GENEALOGY OF 3,000 FAMILIES ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD", by Marianne Holmes Thomas. This is a two-volume, 1,052-page, hard-cover genealogy of the principal Portuguese families on Martha's Vineyard island in Massachusetts. The work, which includes a 263-page, every-name index, was published in the summer of 1996 by the Community History Project (CHiP), a non-profit organization located on Martha's Vineyard in the Town Of Edgartown. The post-publication price of the genealogy was $95.00, but only 300 sets of the first edition were issued and the work is now out of print. As of January 2000, the plan is to publish a revised (corrected, expanded and updated) second edition of the work around 2004. For information on the availability of the first edition of the genealogy (in U.S. libraries) or for corrections and additions to the first edition, contact Ann C. Allen, Director, CHiP, P.O. Box 575, Edgartown MA 02539. Phone: (508) 627-9428. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
