Hello Theresa and thank you for you reply! In your letter you say Rosa Viera born in Somerset...is this in U.S. state of Massachusetts or is it a town in the Azores?
I really have no way of telling if this is my family yet. I just don't have enough info compiled. This is what I know of Rosa "Rose" Vieira Macedo. This "full: name for her was listed in her son's, Walter Vincent, newspaper obituary. Rosa married Joseph C. Vincent about 1915 (this deduced from the 1930 U.S. Federal Census), she had 7 children; Edward, born abt. 1916; Albert, born abt. 1918; Walter, born 18 Oct. 1919; John, born abt. 1921; Harold, born abt. 1923; Everet, born abt. 1926; Earl, born abt. 1929; and Ethel May (my husband's mother) born 3 May 1931 in Rhode Island, married 6 November 1954 at St. Francis Xavier Church in East Providence, Rhode Island to Noel Vernon Bowers and Ethel died 1 August 1964. Rosa died 16 June 1976 in Riverside, Rhode Island. My husband's father carried his two small sons back to Arkansas to live with his own family after the passing of his beloved Ethel. My husband has some memory of his Vincent family but nothing that helps with tracing his family roots.
