There was a Gil family from the Azores who emigrated to Lawrence, MA in the
1950's. I remember the daughter being Maria Gil, and a son Frank Gil. Don't
know which island they were from.
You might want to check the US census in 1950.

Christopher,
I knew a Cathy Espinola from Methuen, MA back in the 50's-60's. I forget her
father's name , but you could go to the 1950 US Census as a start.
There was also Anthony Espinola from Lawrence, MA whose mother was my baby
sitter when I was a pre-schooler.
