Senhor Alberto ! Long time Old Friend :)
Thanks Much for throwing more light in a dark area of Arch. Eugenes Ancestry. We are not related to him but ours was A Joint/Common Areas Type of Olden Day House as explained. Maxwell C.

The house is broken and only coconut trees are seen. His grand father and my mom's grandfather were brothers and so my mom's house and his house is the same. Originally their house and flint's house had a common wall. Later my mom's father built a separate house and broke down his original house . This was in 1920. His mother, Ben's Father and Seby de Cruz's mom were brother and sisters. The people of Bhopal were in love with him and built a house for him in Bhopal. He lived like an ordinary person and one would not see in him as a bishop or greater than that.He moved on cycle and was known as cycle bishop. He was present when people had difficulties. It was difficult to recognise him as an arch. bishop. Many times people from outside Bhopal when they visited him were fooled by him.

He was a Childhood Playmate of my Late Dad and his Siblings too. He was a Close and Great family friend of ours. Much as he was a towering Personality, he was also an extremely humble and a soft spoken person. Whenever down in Goa or Saligao he almost always chose to spend time with his Maternal Aunt and his First cousin Poruficacao Coutinho given the choice of the Bishops Palace or other better Parochial places. Arch. Eugene was Born, Schooled and Graduated in Nagpur. HIs father worked and the family lived there. He was ordained a Priest on 29.9.1944 in Nagpur and belonged to the Order of MSFS.(Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales). He was consecrated Bishop on 3.10.1951 in Nagpur and was finally consecrated Archibishop of Nagpur on 5.09.1953. He had the Distinction of being the youngest Bishop in the Catholic Church, the world over. Much can be written about his Character and all his Missionary works. When in Saligao there always used to be a Beeline of Visitors to meet him I remember.. . We all know of his great Leadership and stong views in the famous 2nd Vatican Council. Arch. Bishop Eugene was instumental in Pioneering the Introduction of Vernacular in the Liturgy. In Bhopal he got Priests to forsake the use of the Cassock to use Civilian clothing to identify better with the Civilian Population On 20th May 1994 he resigned as the Archibishop of Bhopal, at a the age of 75. Archibishops Eugenes Father hailed from Cotula Vaddo. Location of his House is not Known, even to my only surviving Paternal Uncle aged 93. His Mother hailed from Muddavadi. She was the Sister, of the Father of Ben/Dr.Maizie and Marshal. But almost all his Visits and stays in Goa he and his family lived with his Mums Sister Cristaline and First Cousin Poruficacao, in Our Ancestral Olden-Day-Joint House, with a common Balcao,Common Salle, rest all living areas inside separate with 2 separate House Numbers, all under one common Roof. They were a large family and he had a Monsignor Priest Brother, Fr. Jack and another Brother George, a Brigadier in the Indian Army. These were known to me besides others who were Nuns etc not known to me. (Some info take from Fr.
