Hi Sandy,
I know what you mean about wanting to ask questions when it is too late. Have done that many times myself. As far as Maria Augusta goes, Augusta is her middle name. You probably already know that during periods of Azorean history, most women only listed their given and middle names; not their surname as we would. What a trick to play on us when we want to find them. Her actual family name Goncalves. I have a list of all her siblings and Bernard is not among them. Her mother was Maria Clementina and as far as found, no Augustas among them. So sorry to not be a bigger help. Happy hunting, Karen From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sandy Dolan Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2014 11:15 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Catholic Church in Cambridge, MA Hi Karen, My grandparents also attended St. Anthony's church, now on the corner of Cambridge Street and Cardinal Mederois ( Way or Street). The original old wooden church was across on that street a little further down. My dad and his brothers and sisters went there as well. My grandmother was Deolinda (Augusta) Souza and was born in 1882, also from Angra, Terceira. I was wondering if you had any more information about your grandmother who's last name was Augusta. I have been trying so hard to find out how many brothers and sisters she had and there names. I know she had a brother Joseph and a brother Bernard. My Dad is now 86 (soon to be 87 next month) and was the baby of 8 kids in his family and the last older brother he has left has dementia, sadly. My dad doesn't remember any family history to tell of. I was only 12 when my grandmother died in 1972 and back then I didn't have the bright idea of asking her about her family and growing up in the Azores. She spoke mostly Portuguese so I never really had a conversation by myself with her. My aunt would translate. But I loved her just the same and now want to know all about her (when it's too late!). Just wondering if there might be a connection I could work with! Thanks!
