Hello there, Bill: Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I will keep digging, too.
Are you on Sao Miguel ? This is incredible information. I will stay in touch and keep talking to relatives in the States (not many left!) Can I stay in touch with you ? So, in order to “prove” that I am her (Margarida’s) granddaughter, what additional information do I need? My mother’s birth (Margarida’s daughter) info? Other? Thank you, again! Best, Anne Marie Silvia Mother Mary Silvia (maiden name Costa) My grandfather, Margarida’s husband was either: Joseph Costa Jose R Costa or Jose Rego Costa. His name might have been changed to Joseph as my grandmother was known as Margaret in the States (Fall River, MA). Died in US in either 1933, 1935, or 1936. > On May 4, 2019, at 7:55 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Here is their passaporte listing, #291 at the bottom.
