Yes, Cheri, that is my hope; to find her birth/baptism record that connects her to her biological family. I have received info. from Margaret Vicente that says she was the daughter of Jacinto de Medeiros not Joao de Morais. This is all new to me. Margaret also says that she arrived in the US in 1904 with Serafim (whom I thought was her brother) and she is listed as a niece on the manifest. Another thing I did not consider. Margaret says there is more than one Serafim de Morais and Joao de Morais. One family is from Agua de Pau and the other from Santa Barbara (Sao Miguel) and that they are cousins.
My head is spinning and I will need the time to try to figure out this new information. I was not sure when Maria Cristo arrived in the US; I know and have a copy of the record that she married Filippe P. Da Silva at St. Mary's Church in Bristol, RI on Nov. 27, 1909. Book 6, page 45. She said she was 22 years of age; born May 22, 1909, and that here parents were John Moraes and Jacintha Tavares. If there anyone who can clarify any of this new information, your input is greatly appreciated.
