Mickey, I found Manuel Antonio Fonte Petition for Naturalization and sent you a copy. He came from Pico. He came to U.S. under a different name and you will see that on the Petition and it lists the date and ship. This should help you find him on Passportes. "E" -- You received this message be

Great to the relationship part. Grrr to no answers :( You can use the CITCEM site to do the needle in the haystack approach. It's not what I would recommend however. I'd rather know what research you have done on your mom (and siblings, if any) before jumping overseas. But if you want to look, it

Mickey K, Do you talk to this brother? Does he have the answers to the questions? You'll be able to find a Manuel and Emilia in every freguesia. You might be able to narrow it down to a couple of candidates, but which one do you pick? You'll find a couple of different Manuel's with Enos/Ignacio i
