[AZORES-Genealogy] How Much did it Cost ~1900 ? (PACHECO)
Hi again, About 6-7 yrs. ago, I had done a lot of research on my husband's grandparents, and I had enough pieces of information to type up an informal report on them. I sent a copy to his siblings and aunts. Because I am now helping the cousin, I pulled out my old report to find a .date. for them.(They had moved recently, and can't find some of their genealogy papers.) I was just now browsing the first few pages, and was reminded of some of the .possible. ship information. (I've never had time to .search. insistently for that.) When reminding myself of some of the notes, and one of the family stories, I became curious how much it cost around 1890-1910 to leave the Azores, and, for example, come to Massachusetts. One family story is that Elzira Elsie MOURA came over at Age 12 to work for a family in Boston (~1905), and, when she had saved enough money, she sent it back to her mother, so her mother and youngest sister could come over.I haven't figured out, yet, whether the other sister, Rosa MOURA, came over with Elsie or with her mother ~1910.And, I still don't know who Elsie traveled with. (Their brothers seem to have married first and then came over ~1915.) (Rosa married Charles PERRY in Cambridge or Somerville, MA; he was probably a PEREIRA.)

Betty, I have family in hte Lowell area. We have a lot of lost years of history in this community. Where would be the best place to locate a newspaper article about an indutrial accident that claimed the life of one of my grand uncles? This accident happened around 12/20/1906.
