Hi Charlotte,
I hope to get back to the FHC next week and look some more, the record has to be there. As for as only three traveling in the party and the name Manuel I just looked at the record again and this morning I see it is Maria (they used an abbreviation when I first looked at it I thought it was Manuel). Also it has her as 11 years old not 11 months. Perhaps your grandfather was considered a baby in arms and not counted. I will see if I can find her birth. I will let you know when I find some more.

I have not been able to find out any info. I do not know anything about a Manuel. Grandpa had a brother John and a sister. Grandpa was about 3 when he arrived here. Thank you so much. Any other info. would be appreciated. _____ From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of rfrancispimen...@comcast.net Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 1:59 PM To: Azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Jose Tavares Ferreira Hello Charlotte, I finally have time to do some research and I looked at the Ribeira Grande records today to try and find your family. I spent most of the time looking for the birth of a Jose born Feb 22 1879 but came up empty. What I have found tonight is the passport record of your great grandfather Jose Tavares Ferreira, the link below should take you to the CCA site and the record It is image 00000066. From what I was able to read it has a date of 23 Apr 1881, Jose Tavares Ferreira son of Jose Tavares Ferreira and Joanna Maria., age 38, married from Ribeira Grande NS Estrela, a stone mason, wife's name Maria Augusta, age 33, and it looks like Manuel 11 months Just 3 traveled in the party. It also has the ship Suffok. When I get back to the FHC I am going to see if I can find the birth of Manuel. http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/biblioteca_digital/PPDL1875-1883/PPDL18 75-1883_item1/P67.html Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, New Hampshire, USA Researching Bretanha, Ribeirinha, Ribeira Grande, Achade Grande, and Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Acores for, Pimentel (Costa), Carvalho, Teixeira, Rocha --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
