They married in 1911, in Massachusetts. The info is in my car right now. I am
upstairs and don't feel like going to the garage to get it. I also found other
info which I will try to send tomorrow.
I have attached a "Portuguese Words" list that I made up. It should help a
little.

Hi Cheri,
If we are related, it will be interested to see how, as I have so little
information on my end. Here's the info that I do have:
grandfather - Antonio Mello Born Feb 25, 1889, Immigrated April 18, 1901
from Porta Delgada aboard the Dona Maria. Died May 11, 1958 in New Bedford,
MA. His parents are listed on the death certificate as Antonio Mello and
Claudina Silva.
grandmother - Maria Lima - Born Dec 25. 1891. Immigrated August 12, 1907,
though census shows anywhere from 1905 to 1907.. Died January 26, 1960 in New
Bedford, MA. Her parents are listed as John Lima and Francisca Barboza. The
headstone lists her birth as 1890. The 1891 date is from Antonio's
naturalization papers in 1941.
They married sometime around 1910 / 1911 and had 4 children from 1912 - 1926
(Sara, Antone, Agnes and Mary Carmen). I could not find a marriage certificate
when looking at city hall, but I may not have searched far back enough to find
it. .
Thanks for any help you can give!

Hi everyone,
I've begun searching for my father's side of the family with little to
no information, other than what I found by going to the New Bedford, MA city
hall to look up information about my grandparents. I did find information on
their death certificates, which helped a little, but my searching for
additional information brings up a lot of conflicting information on Ancestry
(such as naturalization papers listing one date for arrival, but searching for
the boat lists a completely different date that does not have any recognizable
names on the passenger list.)
What I did find out is that my father was a 3rd generation of the same
name (Antonio/Antone Mello, possibly DeMello) and that both grandparents came
from Rebeira Quente, St. Michael, Azores around 1901 for my grandfather and
about 1905 - 1907 for my grandmother (Maria Lima, born 1890 or 1891).
Any tips or suggestions on where to look further would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Elaine
