Dear John,
Thank you for sending this to me as well. I think it would be good if you
shared that information here. I found it fascinating.
Warm wishes,Selma

Dear John,
It is true, even the graves need archival care and curation. Or another
resource lost forever.
J. A. Ismael Gracias was I believe the first director of the Central Library in
Goa. It would have been good if there had been some nod to this luminary.
Warm wishes,Selma

Even the gravestones are in bad shape and poorly kept. It was a pity to see
how the gravestones in the churches in Old Goa are worn out with people
stepping on them.By the way we have a complete record of all gravestones in Goa
with their names, inscriptions, etc. done by Ricardo Micael Teles, who was a
member of the Comissão Permanente de Arqueologia. They are published in the
Oriente Português that was the journal of the Comissão. Several issues of this
journal are available online.The Comissão was chaired by J. A. Ismael Gracias,
and then by A. B. de Bragança Pereira and did a fabulous job in the study of
the history of Goa.. Then one day Dr. Bragança Pereira returned from vacation
and discovered that the Comissão had been abolished by Governor Quintanilha.
The work of the Comissão was free labor and cost nothing to the Government or
to the tax payer.Those days are gone. Now, with rare exceptions, the relics of
our history and culture are disappearing. This is a “dor da alma”.John M. de

I thought I'd just share this with members. If you don't want to spend time at
the Goa Archives, you can find a lot of documentation on Goan gravestones. Last
year I visited several cemeteries and collected several relevant birth and
death records as well as biography at times. To give you an idea of the extent
of biography available, I'm attaching a gravestone photo. Here you will not
come across a single surly clerk, but just the peace and quiet of the dead.
Take care,Selma
