I made up a list of Portuguese words that helped me to read the Portuguese ie:
birth, marriage, death, records.
I hope that it helps.

There is a George Jesse in that picture, I wonder if this is the same Jesse
family I remember growing up in North Plymouth. George had a wife Maryann.
It was said that my grandfather Joesph Furtado and George Jesse were cousins
from a family connection back in the Azores but I do not have access to and
cannot read the records in the Azores to see how. Do people on this forum have
access to those records?
Joseph Michael Furtado, wife Edith
Birth 1913 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA
Death 1975 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA
Father name:
Antonio Miguel Furtado, wife Maria do Rosario Luiz
Birth 1873 in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores, PT
Death 21 June 1950 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

From the 1920 census page for the Frank Jesse family The census shows they
arrived in Mass in 1907. , , I've compared the births for Massachucetts on
Familysearch. The mother is Frances Nunes Silva, or Francisca Nunes Silveira
. A 1924 shiplist for the Arcadian from Bermuda to New York shows a group
of this family returning from a visit . their birth is shown as St Michaels.
The oldest shown as father is Frank Jesse 70 years. giving a birthdate of 1854.
They give Frank Jesse's address on Prince street as destination.
With Frank's childrens names of Naomi, Samuel, Abraham,Ruth and Moses, I'd
make a guess of some Jewish origin.

Hi Aztec. My mother's maiden name is Jesse. Frank Jesse, from North
Plymouth, Massachusetts is my great-uncle. There were four brothers. Manual,
Frank, Ted and Antoine. Antoine is my grandfather. One of Frank's grandchildren
is my cousin Scott Jesse, and we have discussed the family to great length. He
is not into computers and I don't live in Plymouth anymore so I don't get to
see him at all so most of what he told me about Frank and his wing of the Jesse
family was verbal and in my memory. My mother's sisters have recently provided
us with verbal recordings (tapes) of their early family history which I have
not fully processed yet. They were all very fiercly proud hard workers, middle
income, which was quite an accomplishment in the early 20th century for
Portuguese immigrants to America, so you can be proud of that. They provided
for their families as boat builders and fishermen. They had their own boatyard
in North Plymouth. The Jesse boat building business survives to this day. They
all lived on Castle Street in North Plymouth, Ma. They have many descendants
who are still strongly populated in the eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island
area and many of the cousins are very strongly connected. Our wing of the Jesse
family (Antone's descendants) ave a family reunion every year in August at a
campground in New Hampshire. My mother has told me her grandfather and
grandmother (Frank's parents) were John and Mary (Jesse) that they came to
North Plymouth in the late 1800s, around 1880 or 1890 from some kind of vessel
by way of Bermuda. It is confirmed they came from Azores (San Miguel) but
before that Portugal and even before that from France (the name Jacinth has
French roots) but we have not been able to trace that far back. They are all
buried in Vine Hills cemetery in Plymouth, Ma. There are many Jesse graves
there, that I have visited and examined myself. A distant relative from
Plymouth has given me a database and photos he was working on of the early
family tree. I have been combining this with the verbal recordings and our own
family photos. I would be glad to send everything I have to you if you provide
me with an email address (privately). There is also a wealth of information in
this blog posting that I did not have which I will "pencil in" concerning the
Azores connections and locations. The pre-Plymouth history has always been a
great mystery to us Jesse descendants. Our parents simply do not know, and the
1st and 2nd generations have all long since passed and kept no records. So it's
up to us children to piece it all together!
I have attached a photo of the four brothers, which I am told was taken
on my grandfather's wedding day in Fall River, MA, sometime in the 1930s. Frank
is the one with the dark moustache. They also called him "Blackie" Jesse.

I am new to this group so please be patient. I have been trying to
research my Portuguese roots with little to no lucky. My Grandfather
was a ship builder in Plymouth named Frank Jesse (Jacintho?). He
married Francis Nunes de Silva. I have the Ellis island report of my
Grandfather coming to the US (twice) but am having no luck with my
Grandmother. My GGrandfather was also Frank (Francisco?) Jesse
(Jacintho?). His wife was Jacintha Jacintho (maiden name same as
married name). Both Franks came from San Miguel, and Francis came from
Pico. My mother always said her mother had a sister in California. Can
anyone help me with my research?
