Dear Antonio Menezes thank you for your Message-ID: < capenun2ath7k82djezt+cfq-bnlmr7+st0kbprcwrw5fp46...@mail.gmail.com>
of Thursday , 28 May 2020 11:16:10 +0530 My sympathies May Architect Sarto Almeida R.I.P. First, I myself come from Dar es Salaam and knew Anthony Almeida. He was remarkable just like his brother, Elsewhere I describe my accidental “”” Discovery””” of Ana Fonte Gardens, right in the middle of Margao. Now I must see the International Centre at Dona Paula !! Secondly, the other major information I acquired was that Sarto's and Tony's paternal grandmother hailed from the family of Advocate Laurente Menezes who himself was a Professor of Latin language, Administrator of Diu Municipality and sometimes was an Acting Judge. Thirdly, while this makes me understand the Almeida Menezes connection. ...I think that they may have started in Bagamoyo, which was the capital of German East Africa, until it was shifted to Dar es Salaam in 1905. FOURTHLY I hope I can make a Tanzanian Goan Interested in what took place in that sleepy town. It was a major slave terminal before African from the interior were transferred to the plantations in Zanzibar and elsewhere. Bagamoyo means :::Here we Lay Our Hearts::: When I get back to Dar es Salaam, I hope soon, I will share the information with Tony’s Daughter Alison Da Silva .
