Lew - Thank you for sharing this with us. For one of my Portuguese lines, I was told that the oldest son inheriated everything and the rest fended for themselves. So, the rest came to America and the oldest, who was a famous doctor stayed. Don't know if that's the honest truth, but that all I have to go on. :) Robin Borba Besotes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
