Looking for my grandfather's family from Faial. His name was Manuel Furtado Dutra born in Medeos, Faial on December 23, 1904 as our records have it. His father was "Frank" or Francisco Furtado Dutra born in Faial or possibly St. Georges approx. 1870's and passed away approx. 1926 in Faial. His mother was Maria Rosade or Maria Dorocario born approx. 1875 and passed away approx. 1977 in Faial. They had children named Manuel Furtado Dutra, Joseph, Tony, Frank, Henry, another named Manuel, and 2 sisters whose names are unknown who died very young. Manuel Furtado Dutra (the first born, my grandfather) came to Providence, Rhode Island aboard the "ROMA" arriving in April or May 1917 when he was 13 years old. The ROMA departed from Horta. He settled in Jamestown, RI. His brothers Joe and Frank settled in California, although I have no other info on them. Hope someone out there can help me out. Donna Dutra Wood
