Hello, I missed the original post about the book about the Azoreans on Martha's Vineyard (MA/US), so I don't know if it was already mentioned that there is a Mailing List at www.rootsweb.com on the subject: Sometimes searching the archives of the Lists (and Boards) will find interesting information for you. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Ethnic-Portuguese/MA-MVPGP.html (and there is a way to search the archives of .all. Lists for a surname or place-name) And, I believe there is a web site which goes along with the List. And, when I did an on-line search for "Azores, Martha's Vineyard," I came across this newspaper article from the "Martha's Vineyard Times." On quick look I'm not seeing a date for the article. It's about a resident's first trip to the Azores: http://www.mvtimes.com/marthas-vineyard/article.php?id=2475 And, if you search the archives of the newspaper for "Pacheco," you will find the name mentioned many times. Here is one article you might like to read: http://www.mvtimes.com/news/2007/12/20/reliable-market.php Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (My research for the Azores is about the ancestors of my husband, 2 couples: Joao and Jacintha (deJesus/COSTA) PACHECO and Francisco and Philomena (ROSE) MOURA from Sao Miguel. Son, Antonio PACHECO, b1885, and daughter, Elsie MOURA, b1895?, both came to Massachusetts ~1905, and married in Cambridge, MA. As I've mentioned before, when Elsie lost her husband to a car accident in 1929, she stopped talking about him. So, the grandchildren grew up not knowing that other Pacheco's in MA were related to them. I just heard from a researcher who asked whether the families in Cambridge / Somerville, MA, had a relative with the first name of Adelaide. I haven't had a chance to ask my husband about this.) (I'm told the other PACHECO's in Cambridge were related to them; I don't know if they had relatives in other cities or on Martha's Vineyard. I also don't know whether State Senator Marc Pacheco has done his family-tree.)
