Thanks Cheri,
I have indeed included the traditional names during my hunt. I am simply
hitting the brick wall. Without a specific island I can't search in
reverse order. Typically I can use sibling info of the ancestor in
question, unfortunately I have no info about any. At this point the only
record I can think of that would aid in my search is a passenger list. I
can't find Maria Rodrigues or variations of, anywhere. The 1880 census
shows her arrival as 1870 but she had a child in NY 1868 so I know thats
unlikely. As for the hospital comment, I really have no clue if was a
hospital, buggy or at home. My best guess would be a church record for the
recording of birth for Mary Agnes Silva. I don't think the civil records
go back that far.
