Mrs. Pignatelli Rites Saturday Mrs. Theresa Pignatelli , 86, of Beakhurst House on Coggeshall Avenue, died there today after a long illness.She has lived in Newport for 50 years. Mrs. Pignatelli was born Jan. 23, 1884 in Candelasia, St. Michael, the Azores, a daughter of Jose and Polcana [ Pulcina] De- Araujs[ it is spelled Araujo] Pereira.She leaves her husband , Leonardo Pignatelli; a brother, Antonio DeAraujs [ De Araujo] Pereira of the Azores; a sister, Mrs. Virginia Medeiros of Newport; seven daughters, Mrs. William 0.

The funeral will be held Saturday from the Memorial Funeral Home to St. Augustine's Church for a solemn requiem mass at 10 a.m.Burial will be in St. Columba's Cemetery. Note: Vovo Virginia died on Feb. 26, 1971 so Great Aunt Theresa died some year earlier than 1971. The copy my parents kept didn't have date on it.Also I am not sure why they didn't list names of our female cousins so I listed them in obit. I am not sure why they listed our great and great great Grandmother's name as Polcana instead of Pulcina.Also why they wrote DeAraujs instead of De Araujo which is the maiden name of Jose Pereira 's mother who's generation I have no information on because that would be back in records In the Azores. We need someone who speaks Portuguese to help us with that information or if any of you know another way let me know. I am planning to start going to local genealogical society to see if they can give me help . -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
