Thank you again, Cheri. Re family heritage, family lore is that Joseph "jumped ship" in Boston and may have been here illegally. I know they were rather poor for those times. That may explain their reluctance to be known as Portuguese. Any recommendations as to where to go next to research the family? I looked at the passaportes records but didn't know how to find a particular name as there wasn't a search box.
