It looks like the post card was used to write a note on, I see no evidence that it was mailed. I am no expert but it starts off "all my children" others may be able to help. The photograph was done by Fillipe Nascamento in Lisbon, Portugal which is the biggest clue as to where your people ware from. The card looks like it has something to do with travel on a ship it is a type of a ticket.

I have very limited information on him. I know he had a nephew named Manoel Baptista and a niece named Luduvina Baptista that possibly lived in Lisbon. He also had a niece named Maria Amalia (surname unknown) and a nephew named Belchior (surname unknown) that lived in Portugal. Based on a letter, I believe he had a brother-in-law named Manoel Maria (surname unknown). The letter by Manoel Maria refers to Francisco as cunhado, which I think means brother-in-law. It seems that Francisco was the only one of his family to move from Portugal to Texas. I know that he was in Lisbon, Portugal visiting his family in 1909 based on a letter I have. I also have photos of various Portuguese relatives but I am unable to identify the people in the photos. Also, has anyone with Portuguese ancestry taken the ancestry.com DNA test? The results my family received showed "uncertain" and there are no matches with anyone from Portugal, so it is of no use to us. -- -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
