Hi Katherine... I realize this email stream was started quite a while ago, but I was wondering if you have any additional information on Steve Perry's family history in the Azores. Steve's grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. My grandfather's name was Manual Perry (Peirera) and he married my grandmother, Mary Corcoran in MA. My grandfather's extended family lived in Lowell, MA. Because some of the family moved out to the west coast, my grandfather passed away before we knew we were related to Steve. When Steve did the "Raised on Radio" tour with Journey....he brought all of us from the east coast to his concert at the Worcester Centrum so that we could meet him. He also brought three older relatives from CA with him so that we could all meet one another.
I am hoping to visit the Azores and want to know which island Steve's and my great-grandparents came from. I know Pico was where the maternal side of his family came from....but not sure about the paternal side. If you have any research on this, I would appreciate hearing from you.... Thanks...Margaret (Perry) DaRos On Sunday, April 9, 2006 at 7:41:05 AM UTC-4, Katherine wrote: > > Hi Pat, > > No, sorry I don't know what island, but maybe I'll find out one of > these days as I'm always nagging cousins to invite Steve to the Borges > reunion.
