From: Patricia Paquette <[email protected]> To: Azores Genealogy <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2012 7:55 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] New to group also I have also recently joined this group. I have alot of info on my Grandfathers side because he was a descendent of Jose De Arruda Botelho e Camara (1852 ) and Ana Leite Borges Bicundo from Sao Miguel . What I am having difficulty researching is my Grandmothers side. She is from Faiaal-I believe Cedros born 8/12/1893 and her name was Mary Amelia Dutra. Her parents I believe were Frank P. Dutra and Rose Amelia Dutra. She married my grandfather in Newport RI 5/4th 1914. I believe the P in her parents name was for Perry. Other names that seemed to be linked are Escobar and Rosa or Da Rosa. She is also in some way related to Meredith Vieira formerly of The Today Show. Any guidance this group could give me in this search would be appreciated. Thank you Pat --To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
