Welcome back to the village. Drop in if you have a moment to spare. Is
your house by the roadside or inside the vaddo? My parents knew some
Pintos, whom we visited as kids. In particular, I recalled an elderly
gentleman (Africa-returned, I think) who was skilled in crafting dolls
out of coconutshells. Sorry for that stereotyped view. This is what my
mind recalls from the age of 2 :-)
Am based in Saligao, just near Lourdes Convent (as they would say
here, ask anyone for the "Noronhas" once you're in Sonarbhat). Am
travelling from Dec 19 to 24 though. Best wishes, FN

Dear SaligaoNetters,
My family and I plan to visit Goa and Saligao for a couple of weeks
this Christmas. Sadly I don't know anyone personally but we are quite happy
to indulge the common and amusing Goan pastime of finding links across space
and time. My grandfather was Frank Pinto do Santana, my father, Wilfred
Pinto.
The family had a house, I think not more than a derelict plot of land now,
in Saligao near the police station and on not quite opposite the Mater Dei
School. The plot is now in the name of my nephew, Tyrone Pereira.
My great grandfather was Jacob Pinto, who married Ernestina Pinto. I believe
Mr. Joe Fernandes who owns the grocery store might know him.
We wish all in Saligao a Happy and peaceful Christmas.
Vivian, Valerie, Marcus and Dominic Pinto
