While surfing the net, I came across this Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_D%27Souza
Can anyone throw more light on this gentleman who seems to be of Goan origin?
Francisco D'Souza is the son of Goanetter Placido D'Souza, former
ambassador to many countries, and posted on behalf of the Indian
Foreign Service to at least two dozen countries.
If I'm not mistaken, Francisco's sisters are very early Goanetters.
Herman could confirm.
They trace their roots to Anjuna, but Placido grew up in Pune. He
mentioned that he was inspired to join the IFS because of another Goan
who got in before him, Peter Lynn Sinai. --FN
