Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the link. I've been able to find information on family members who moved to Fall River in the 1800/1900 through the link supplied on this list, two days ago in the Diario dos Acores I found a couple of ads dating back to 1952 and 1963 detailing all about the family of JOHN VICENTE and da Costa. Many thanks to the President of Açores and the State of MA for such wonderful coloboration and to the Azores group for providing the link.
