Thank you for correcting my mistake, David. I meant to write Fall River but
wrote diocese instead. It's been a rough month. ;)
It is a shame that St. John's had to close because I believe there should have
been more of an effort to save it since it was the FIRST Portuguese parish in
North

Al, thanks so much for that information -- although I wish it gave me a
little more hope. I had been hoping that the RC records would be more
detailed than the civil ones are. I'll start my search with St. Joseph's
-- but will pray it was actually at a different church with a more
Joanne, if I may, I'd like to offer a friendly amendment to your comment
below... Santo Christo is the mother church of all the Portuguese churches
in the *City* of Fall River, not in the Diocese. The first Portuguese
Roman Catholic parish in not just that diocese but in all of North America
Thanks much, Eric. I know the 1870 federal census lists my g'g'grandmother
as 18, and her Providence marriage record, but the family bible kept by her
daughter, my g'grandmother, lists the 1854 date I have been searching, and
has so far been accurate as to all other dates. Moreover, her death

records, all of which however are 1844-45.
The Ribeirinha record is interesting -- where did you get it, the UMinho
site? -- but, aside from the 7
David,

The only RC church in the Portuguese community area of India/Fox point

I wish you luck ...

Ralph S,
I'm not David, but I'm one of the admins on the DNA project.
Since your last name is Sellars, you can take a Y-DNA test for your Sellars
line. It will trace your father, your grandfather Sellars, your
great-grandfather Sellars, his father and his father and so on. You'll get
a focus
Al,
I would try contacting Santo Christo Church in Fall River, MA. They are the
mother church of all the Portuguese churches in the Diocese of Fall River and
if you ask nicely, they might look up the info for you. Worth a try but you
might want to contact them sooner than later. Rumors have

I'm going to let someone else fill in the blanks because I need to get to
work.
In answer to your questions..

Very interesting; this is where my grandfather came from in 1890 to
