His Grandfathers name is Joseph Pacheco Born: 25 Sep 1911 in New Bedford MA to Joao Pacheco and Antonia Pacheco(Trindade). Joseph is married to Elvira (Maiden name: Marques). We know Joseph left and traveled to the Azores and he returned around 1956 with what my husband believes is all 8 children and his wife. Here is where my confusion sets in a little bit I have found a city directory for Joseph and Elvira but cannot find a marriage license or them leaving or returning the U.S with 8 kids. Elvira's parents names are Manuel Marques and Augustina (Maiden Name: Tavares) All this information was obtained from obituaries. The information for him grandfather was somewhat helpful but I have once again hit a wall and I cant get past Elvira's parents. I'm at a loss as I am new to all this. We have done the DNA testing but it has only found very distant cousins for him.
