Hi Judi, How nice of you to reply. I knew someone would have the cemetery details for me. I have all the marriage & death info on Rosa Amelia Silva that died in Providence in childbirth (3rd child) in 1886. (from RI archives) She was married to Ernesto da Rosa Vieira from Cedros, Faial. He then returned to Cedros & remarried. Many of his children returned to the US. I grew up with this family, distant cousins, but we could never find Rosa Amelia's ancestry. (born Faial) or her grave site. Her parents names were so shortened & anglicized in the records. Example: Rosa Amelia, dau of Francis & Isabella Thomas.
Rosa Amelia & Ernesto da Rosa Vieira listed their daughter Amelia born in 1882 as Amelia Silva. Perhaps this was from mother's maternal line? Thanks again!!
