Hi,
If I'm not mistaken, Sao Roque is the next town just east of Ponta Delgada along the waterfront. I think that one of the areas is called Rosta de Cao. We drove through there on the way to Povoacao.

But, I just tried again, just searching for "Sao Roque, Sao Miguel" and found a Google map which shows Ponta Delgada with some of the villages very near it. http://maps.google.com/maps?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7ADSA_en&q=%22Sao+Roque,+Sao+Miguel%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0xb5cd53d0607f475:0xbf373fd412775601,Sao+Roque,+Portugal&gl=us&ei=XjquT62GEIXc0QGKy7yIDA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA Some I see are: Sao Sebastiao, Sao Jose', Santa Clara, etc. My husband's grandfather, Antonio / Anton PACHECO came from Sao Roque, with a father, Joao PACHECO. I've never had time to find out about other members of that family. So, I don't know if Joao and Jacintha (COSTA?) had more children. When "Tony" left for Massachusetts ~1905 as a 20-yr-old, I don't know who he traveled with, and I don't know who he came to visit. (I've mentioned before that, when Tony was killed in a car accident in 1929, leaving a widow, pregnant with twins, and 5 young children, his wife (born Elsie MOURA) was probably very angry being left in this predicament. She hardly ever spoke about him again, and told her grandchildren that the other PACHECO's in Cambridge, MA, were not related to them. When I posted queries, I heard from a researcher who said they .were. related.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
