Hi Manoel: So interesting! Yes, I came across the same record (I can't read Portuguese, so I have to have them all translated). I'm pretty good at picking out what I need to in my guesses.
Thanks for the other information too. I was going to research that over the weekend but Father's Day threw me off, so now I can move on to the next step thanks to you. The only relatives we knew from the Azores were my grandparents and with little information at that. That's all we ever had on the tree. All of my maternal relatives have passed away, so no one is here to give us more information. My English side we went back to the 1600s, so I made it my mission to fill in my maternal side tree before I get too old. It has been quite a journey and I still have a long way to go. I now know my grandfather had siblings and my grandmother had about 10 siblings. No one ever knew that. We also know some of the ancestors came from Santa Maria and it is a possibility that I descend from the Botelho line as well. Lots of hard work and fun and meeting people like those in this group have made it very rewarding. My grandfather was Manuel Mello from Sao Vicente and my grandmother was Gloria Maria Oliveira from Livramento in Sao Miguel. They came to the US in 1905 and settled in the Cambridge, MA area. Thanks again for your help. Cathy On Sun, Jun 19, 2016 at 10:51 AM, mances <[email protected]> wrote: > > Cathy, > > Hello cousin!
