I have a Joao Jose Bettencourt born June 16, 1782 - father Antonio. Haven't gone further back yet.
I have not had much luck in finding information for my grandfather, Francisco Souza Rosa born 1887 in Graciosa (I am told). Arrive in Boston at around age 4 or 5. His parents were Manuel Rosa and Maria A. Rosa. Any clues would be appreciated.
