Hello, Just a reminder that my husband's great-grandfather was a Joao PACHECO from the village of Sao Roque, right beside Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel. Unfortunately that's about all I know about him. His wife was Jacintha COSTA, and the only child I know about is Antonio PACHECO, b1885 there. At Age 20 he migrated to Massachusetts, so ~1905. I don't know who he traveled with, or who he was coming to stay with. Shortly after arriving he settled in Cambridge, MA, and married there and remained there. He was killed in a car accident ~1928 in Raynham, MA, leaving a very pregnant widow and 5 young children. Mrs. Elsie (MOURA) PACHECO told all her grandchildren that her late husband had .no. relatives in New England. Through my research I found out that was .not. true. He even had relatives in Cambridge. I have no idea whether Tony's parents also migrated to Massachusetts. .... I wish this family had a Maria Pacheco in their family; it might help my research. (Because of my husband 2 yrs. of disability, I have not been active in genealogy during this time. But, I have posted all my findings on-line, so you can search for more details.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I could mention that one of Tony and Elsie Pacheco's grandsons just passed last week. Their oldest son, Charlton PACHECO, died in 1977, leaving a widow and 5 children. As of this week, only 3 of the children are still living. And, Tony and Elsie had 5 children, and 3 of them are still living, but are in their 80's and 90's now. Because of funerals for both PACHECO and MOURA family members, we've seen many of them this winter.
