And if you get a bit frustrated because you can't find them say a small prayer
and continue on. Rosemarie what you wrote is inspiring and helps to keep
going. God's love doesn't keep us from our trials, His love & strength will
only helps us to get through them. God is so merciful & faithful. God doesn't
like Ugly.

What a great story! NEVER GIVE UP, I say!!! It would be something else if we
could do the same..."let's see, today my name is Barbara Maria dos Simas", but
tomorrow I think I'll be Antonia Maria da Terra". What a system!!!

Hi all,
Just had to share my great find while in SLC! I have been searching for my
Grandmother coming to the USA for 30 years or more. She always said she came in
through the Port of NY in Sept 1914 and on her Alien Registration Papers she
listed that her name as Maria Vieira da Silva when she arrived. That is what
I've searched for, Maria Vieira da Silva coming on that date. Now, the Angra
passports have now come online and I thought that I would search for EVERY
Maria I saw on that list from August to the end of Sept 1914 and see what I
could see because I've never been able to find her on the dates she gave under
the name she gave. So, when I had time between teaching classes and helping the
other researchers, I searched. On Thursday, right before lunch, I found her!
She came under the surname of her mother, Azevedo!! Sure enough, it said Maria
d'Azevedo, 17 years, single from Norte Grande, daughter of Francisco Vieira da
Silva and Maria d'Azevedo! I'm sure everyone in Basement 1 heard me, I was so
excited! But the moral of the story for all Portuguese researchers is, don't
give up on the search and don't believe everything your Grandparents said or
wrote!! LOL From this info I found her on the ship Patria and feel wonderful
that I've finally found my Va!! Rosemarie [email protected] Sao
