Dear Júlio; So your friend is my third cousin! Please give him greetings from his Rezendes cousin in California. And thank you so very much for all this information -- I had no idea of most of it. It will take me awhile to sort it and I know my family will be eager to hear about it all. (Also, I had not realized that Gilda was so much younger than her brothers -- my avô [her brother Manuel] was born in 1901). I met her one time when she came to the US for a visit with her son (Francisco, I think...?).
In your research, do you have any record of any of them emigrating? (I am not asking you to do research for me; only if you happen to have come across that information.) I'm trying to track down the circumstances of Manuel de Resendes getting US citizenship -- if you have any ideas of where I might look, I'd be most grateful. muito obrigada! di On Saturday, April 1, 2017 at 7:24:10 PM UTC-7, Júlio wrote: > > Hello I Have a friend that grandson of Maria Gilda Miranda de Resendes, > the sister of Manuel de Resendes that stay in Ponta Delgada, I m helping > him in his genealogy. and I have this: > > Page 3 > 4.
