Hi Bill, Ria is my cousin. The couple she mentioned are also my great grandparents.
I just needed to clarify some of the info about this couple though. José Raposo de Medeiros was Married to Rosa Amalia de Jesus Teixeira. (m. 17 Feb 1890 in São Jorge, Nordeste, São Miguel) both were born and baptized in this parish and village. They had the following children: Ernesto, José, Manuel, Serafino, Jacintho, Maria da Luz, and Senhorinha. Rosa Amalia never left the Azores. Jose Raposo was a businessman in Nordeste and had various businesses as well as operating and inn. Rosa died after a long life, so i don't think this is your couple. Good luck with your search.

I have heard from family members in the past that my grandmother, Felicidade Teixeira, was born to Manuel and Emilia Rosa Teixeira who were both from Agua Retorta. Felicidade's mother died when she was eight and her father sent her to stay with her older sister, Rosa, in either Ponta Delgada or Agua Retorta. Around 1900 Felicidade was 12 years old, and was sent to Massachussets stay with another older sister, Maria. I am told that Maria Teixeira went left the Azores single and married a Portuguese man who owned (or possible only worked at some kind of a factory). I am furhter told that Maria and her husband had only one child, a daughter. Felicidade stayed with her sister Maria until she married Boaventura Pacheco Demello in Cambridge, MA in 1905. Do you know when Maria Teixeira immigrated? Do you know of any siblings of this Maria Teixeira? Did Jose Raposo own or work at a factory? Did Jose and Maria have only one child, a dauther? Thank you for any help. I've been looking for some time to find a record of the older sister Maria Teixeira that my great grandmother reportedly was sent to stay with but have had not luck Bill Seidler On Sunday, March 24, 2013 9:49:32 PM UTC-7, Cheri Mello wrote: Repost for Ria, nazdar2000 at gmail.com > >Hi Everybody, >I was reading the line of the Rapozo's . >My grandparents Jose Raposo was married to my grandmother Maria de >Jesus Teixeira. >Now my father's parents were from Agua Retorta their names have >Furtado as well as Cabral.also Caldeira. >All I know is that my grandparents from Agua Retorta got married in >Fall River Mass, not sure if this is the same Raposos >Ria > -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
