Thank you! Sorry, I wasn't sure how detailed to be. I can now see that you all are a wealth of willingness and talent!
I can't seem to upload the images I have from Ancestry.com. Terceira is the island, with Anna voz Toste departing in 1920 from St. Michael and arriving thru Boston in April 1920. I'm told that Jose Borges emigrated in 1917 but find no census records which include him. He was destined for his sister Anna Borges and her husband Manuel Roderick in Providence, RI. My search for them intersected with a public family tree posted to Ancestry.com, and according to this there is a living female child from their marriage. My (my husband's) Uncle Joe is very eager to contact this heretofore unknown first cousin. Since she is living, the Ancestry site understandably keeps her data private. I tried searching for obit in CT and RI and FLm but haven't found anything. The FRC is a great idea. We're in Anchorage so I expect I can get there very easily. Thanks again, you all inspire me! The Azores are among my Mother in Law's happiest memories with her husband. I hope to visit with our family, too.
