I am just beginning research on my father's side, but not sure where begin. Using Ancestry.com and the limited knowledge I have, I was able to put together just some very basic of information. If possible, I would appreciate advice on where I can begin searching for info about my family before their immigration to the US.
My great great grandparents were Frank and Mary (Souza) Mello. They immigrated from Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal around 1902/1903. They brought at least 1 child, my great grandfather, Edward P. Mello with them to Massachusetts. I found no passenger list, simply going off a census form for the arrival date. Great great grandfather - Frank P. Mello born around 1871 in Portugal. Great great grandmother - Mary Souza born around 1878 in Portugal. Great grandfather - Edward P. Mello born in Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal in 1897. Thanks for any feedback.
