I wanted to correct myself and say that it was a period of 4 weeks between Passport registration and the time the family arrived in the USA. Feb 18 - March 15. If you back trace 4 weeks from their arrival date that should help you find them in the passport database On Oct 2, 9:25 am, David

Thanks Cindy, I have been playing around with the CCA site on my spare time. There is a great Madeira website that has been very helpful for my mothers Paternal side but her maternal Azore side of the family has been a challenge. I will keep chipping away! David On Sep 30, 10:02 am, Cheri

I was also unaware that you could order film at a local family center. I thought you had to be physically present to view film. I will definitely look into that. What kind of information would I have access too? On Sep 30, 10:02 am, Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com wrote: David, For the
