Hi... I have tried to identify Bobby's parents, but because he was born in the 1940s, I would not see him on a census... :-(... He would not appear until the 1950 census information is released. There were so many Moniz families in the Fall River area at that time. It is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. I have a few 3rd and fourth cousins of Portuguese descent. I have attempted to build those trees to stumble into something. Needless to say, I have about 14 trees going... Ugh and I have yet to come across him. I am hoping that someone may know of him. Sooner or later I hope to have a closer cousin take the dna test. I just hope I can piece this together in time to meet him.
I did see our match. Do you have any Moniz lines in your lineage?
