Thanks...here goes...
My Grandfather: Jacintho Furtado Garcia, Jr. b.1 April 1868 The Azores d. 5
Nov 1945 Franklin MA
came to Boston in about 1883, where my Dad was
born in 1900, He supposedly
came alone or with unknown persons.
His father and mother followed in about 1892
Jacintho Furtado Garcia Sr b.Feb 1834 The Azores
d. 21 March 1903 New Bedford MA
Maria Isabel Rosa Garcia b. 15 May 1824 The
Azores d.6 April 1922 New Bedford MA
It appears that they lived in New Bedford the
whole time with their daughter...I found them in the 1900 census and her in
the 1920 census. They are buried at St. John's
Cemetery in New Bedford.
Jacintho Sr, father is listed as Jose F Garcia and
mother as Cecilia Conceicon
My Grandmother: Emilia Sousa Garcia b. 26 Aug 1871 Terceira d. 26 Feb
1927 Wilmington, MA
She came with her parents and siblings in 1883. I
have no idea where they met but they lived in Quincy/Boston in
1900 when my Dad was born.
Her parents are listed as: Mary Silva b. The
Azores d. Massachusetts
Manuel
Silveira S Sousa b.Terceira d. Massachusetts
Thank you all again for your help and interest.
