hi Margaret, I found on ancestry a NY immigration:
New York Passenger List, 1820-1957 Year: 1907: Arrival, New York, New York; Microfilm Serial: T715, 1897-1959; Micriofilm roll: roll 0885; Line 24; Page Number: 85 Looking at the record again, I realize it has a different birth city - Funchal, so while the age is right, this may not be him. But if you look up the page, Joao is line 28 that was the name I saw and jumped to the conclusion it was him. Its interesting to know that they would name their kids the same name - I guess George Foreman wasn't the first to do that, then! ;} Shirley, I do find the 14 year old Joao confusing, as there is a Virginia that was born in 1893 to Joao and Francisca, so unless there was a multiple birth or they adopted a child, he doesn't make sense. But everything else matches up in terms of ages and names/parentage. Elaine Elaine On Friday, December 9, 2016 at 7:37:45 PM UTC-5, Mara wrote: > > Yes, and yes, it was.
