Dear Eric, Thanks for taking time to look for their records. They did not have a son Arthur. Manuel and Phillipa had six children, all born in Gloucester. I have corresponded many times in the past with Jeff Madruga in California, Arthur may be one of his family. Thanks again. I will check out the link you sent, just in case......

Ginny, Here is the birth record for their son, Arthur. Iy shows Manuel birthplace as Pico. From my family research in Pico, I know that Pereira Madruga is seen often in the Lajes das Pico Concelho, Cardoso is also concentraed in that area. Since you have a birthdate, you should take look throug the parish records at the NNEPS site for the area. http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html Eric Edgar On Sat, Feb 2, 2013 at 5:39 PM, Ginny Swinson <riverv...@gis.net> wrote: I have been following your group for several months and am amazed at how so many of you have been able to locate where you ancestors came from. I have been researching intermittently for 50 years and have had little success. My great-grandparents, Manuel Perry Madruga (b. about February 15, 1852, Azores) married Phillipa Perry Cardoza, (b. about August 25, 1865, Azores) in St Ann's church, Gloucester, MA, April 18, 1883. They had six children: Mary, March 9, 1889; Willie P.,September 26, 1890; John Perry (my ggrandfather) December 6, 1892; Gertrude, August 10, 1896; Manuel Perry, October 8, 1899. All were born in Gloucester. I have been unable to get baptismal records because the church says that their records are with the Boston Archdiocese. I spent eight hours at their archives and there are no records there. They arrived before Ellis Island. I can find no naturalization papers for them in Gloucester. All birth and death records indicate only Azores. I am getting old and would like to visit the village where they came from and to finally connect with my Portugese heritage. My grandfather died in the 1918 epidemic and so any connection to the past wast lost. PLEASE - anyone - HELP. I need advice and direction.
