This morning, Dick Eastman wrote about the passing of New Bedford librarian and historian, Paul A. Cyr.
If you ancestors went to southeast Massachusetts, you had to go to the New Bedford Public Library and talk to Paul. He knew everything! He knew about the Azoreans, the Madeirans, the Cape Verdeans and anyone else who settled the area. He knew about the American Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Association (he lobbied for their book collection, but they housed in Taunton, closer to the home of one of the founders - today their collection is a UMass Dartmouth). To read more on Paul, here is the link to Dick Eastman's newsletter who also links to Paul's obituary: https://goo.gl/oJ8Nsj Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
