Theresa, Thank you once again for you input!! I am bit confussed here as I have been assuming that Macedo would have been Rosa's maiden name and that Vieira was her middle name. On Rose's dauther's death certificate Rose is listed as Rose Macedo. In Rose's obituary she is listed as VINCENT, Rose V. (Macedo). Then in her son Walter's obituary she is listed as Rose (Vieira) Vincent. Does this mean she was married to a Macedo before she married Joseph C. Vincent? I feel I must be missing something.
I will have to send off for Rose and Joseph's marriage record and their death certificates before I can go any further. I can see that now. In a box of the few items my husband has from his mother's things is a small vial labeled "St. Jude Blessed Oil". Below this it says, "Our Lady's Chapel, 600 Pleasant Street, New Bedford, MASS". I have no idea what this oil may have been used for as I am not Catholic as the Vincent family was but it may be a start for searching, maybe.
