Hi Cheri, Thank you for the suggestions. I only know what other researchers have told me, so I would go with the Laurindo da ROSA marrying Clara Emilia (unknown). The son I know about in Cambridge, MA, was Antonio da ROSA who married and had children. I was reminded of his brother's name last week. I just checked an old post on the Azores List, and the brother might have been Manuel da ROSA. The PACHECO and MEDEIROS grandchildren have no memory of having ROSA / ROSE uncles and aunts.
I'll get back to the searching of records tomorrow. ... After all these years of being curious, I still can't find anything else on that Francisco MOURA. It's only a family-story that he was from Sao Miguel and was a whaler. His wife and children all came to MA/US between 1905 and 1915, so we're guessing he had recently passed.
