What a coincidence to receive and read your blog today! Just this morning my husband and I attended a military function and I met a senior Army officer whose last name was Morgado. That name sounded familiar to me and I then remembered the discussions on this list about that name some time ago.
As he and my husband were chit chatting I stared at his name tag and then it came to me why I thought the name sounded familiar especially when I saw it in writing (duh)! I couldn't keep myself from asking, "what is your ancestry?" He responded, Portuguese! His ancestors come from a town north of COIMBRA. His grandparents went to Fall River area and so did my husband's. There were similar patterns in our ancestors' lives. What was amazing was to find another high ranking officer of Portuguese origin in the Army. We certainly bonded and I encouraged him to get DNA and information from his father while his father is still "with us". I am going to send him your blog. I hope he will try to get some of his family history while his parents are alive. You are vey talented and using your talent in helping others in finding their ancestors. sometimes coincidences happen which help us find our ancestors. There just might be a connection with you and this gentlemen whose last name is Morgado. I don't think it's a coincidence that I read your blog today and met another person with that name from northern Portugal and that I brought up his ancestors. (Whew!). Maybe we could correspond privately.
