Cheri,
Thanks for that info. I've viewed the ship manifest that shows [who I believe
is] my Great-Grandfather, Joao Tavares on Ellis Island Records from 1893. I
think it was him because his obituary says he arrived in USA at age 20, so the
math seems right. I assumed that he came thru New

My great-grandfather's name was changed from Seriqui to SerequY which made it
hard for me to find him on the manifest. Another relative was transcribed as

I haven't checked yet, but I think there might be more than one Joao

Hello Joe
When I first saw your post I dismissed it because I was sure that I didn't
have any Batatas in my database.
Well it ends up that I do and that they may fit into you extended family.
Beacause I don't have very much I'll just drop it here, see below. Hope that it

Tomas,
I have the card that was pinned to my grandmother while she traveled from

My grandfather's only living sibling is my great Aunt who is now 86.
