I'm going to try to give as much info as I have, and hope someone makes a connection.
My grandmother was Maria Lorencia Soares - - aka Mary L. Sears (1883 -1970). She was born in Cambridge, MA. Her parents were: Jose Machado Soares - - Born in The Azores 24 July 1833 - Died 12 May 1905. My grandmother had at least two siblings - - an older brother. Eugene Soares, and a sister, ?? and my Great grandmother, Joaquina M. ??? (1842 - 1922). Joaquina had a sister, Filomena, who married Joseph Machado Evangello. They all lived near each other in Somerville, MA. Eugene lived as a boarder with his aunt Filomena and uncle Joseph Evangello. My grandmother, Maria/Mary took care of her mother until her mother died in abt 1922. She then married James Ethelbert Hiltz (1877 - 1938) at the age of 39 yrs. In old family pics, I find other names Costa, Machado, Mitchell, Evangello. I understand that Machado was often changed to Mitchell. Anyone make any connections??? Thanks for any help or suggestions. My family tree on Ancestry,com is "Lavely/Hillman/Hiltzs/Soares Family Tree." My email is" allevacon...@gmail.com. Thanks!
