Hello, Just an FYI. From my earlier postings, my hubby's great-grandmother was born Filomena Augusta da ROSA from Faial, and her 3 daughters were born there, Elsita Augusta MOURA, Rosa Augusta MOURA, and Carolina Augusta MOURA. There were also 2 sons born there, Ernesto Bernardo MOURA and Manuel MOURA. (Filomena's mother was born on Pico, Clara Emilia ..)
Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (Curious why Azoreans in CA/US seem more interested in their ancestors than Azoreans in MA/US. And, how many from Cambridge, MA, moved to CA.)
