Repost for Doreen Caetano Jungk, rondo at lightspeed dot net: I'm also looking for information for my family in Lowell, MAss around the same time. Is there anyone in our group that is from that area. Are there old records for the P.E.B.S. 6 ? I've attached a copy of an email I sent to the funeral home asking for more information on my Grand Uncle Frank Coelho Berbereia de Ormonde. He died in a neighboring town in the State Hospital. He, along with many other men, were injured in a construction accident on 12/9/1913. They were constructing a Brewery but I do not have the location of the brewery. Are there old newspapers for this area available on-line? Please note that the Berbereia name is often mispelled (Burberia, Berberea, Berberia, Brady ). Since sending this email, I have located his death record online. I have also located his birth record. I have a family picture that shows Frank getting married in Lowell but his death record indicates that he was single. Since this email I have discovered that my Great Uncle (Frank's and my Granfather AntonioCoelho Berbereia de Ormonde's Uncle used the name Jose Ferreira Drummond. His father and my Great Grandfather was Jose Ferreira Ormonde who was married to Catarina Rosa. I have no idea where they are buried. I know that they were all born in the village of Altares, Terceria. Is anyone searching this family?"I’m doing family research and recently discovered the location of my granduncle’s grave. Some of the family knew that he had died of a construction accident o the East Coast but thought it was in New York. After two years of searching and following up family passage records, I recently discovered the families connection with Lowell, MA. I started calling cemeteries in the area and located the grave but no death record with the city clerk. After contacting the historical board I was sent the following information: Monday Dec. 22, 1913 Lowell Sun BARBERIA- the funeral of Frank Barberia took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the home of his brother, Manuel, 25 Marshall Street, and was largely attended. Services were held at St. Anthony’s church at 3:30 o’clock Rev. Manuel R. Rodrigues officiating. Among the flowers was a cross inscribed “Frank” from the family, and a pillow inscribed “P.E.B.S., 6” from the Portuguese Benefit society. The bearers were Francisco L. Corria, Anthnio J. d’Avilla, Jose G. Rocha, G. Pinheis, Jose Largendes, and Manuel C. Pacheio. Burial was in St. Patrick’s cemetery; Undertakers M.H. McDonough Sons in charge.. I‘m wondering if you have more information. I want to get a copy of his death certificate. Do you have his birth date and location? Any and all information will help in my search for other family members graves. On another note there is a baby buried next to my uncle named Maria Berberia. From my search I know that she was buried on 7/1/1912 and died 6/30/1912. She was 2 months old. Did you also handle this funeral? Do you have any information? The family knew that there was a baby buried back east but does not remember who’s baby she is or what she died of. The church does not have any burial records from back then. This is a long shot but can pass up the opportunity to ask just in case- I’m also looking for my Great grandparents graves Joe Ferreira Ormonde and his wife Catarina Rosa from Terceira. Their daughter is the mother of Frank. Families full names was Coelho Berbereia de Ormonde & Ferreira de Ormonde, all of them are from Altares and Raminho, Terceira but some were educated on the east coast. If you need talk to me you can call me on my cell phone (559) 250-5984 but please wait until Monday since I’m presently in Canada and am traveling without my phone at this time. Thanks for your time and assistance, Sincerely, Doreen Caetano Jungk
