There is a George Jesse in that picture, I wonder if this is the same Jesse family I remember growing up in North Plymouth. George had a wife Maryann.
It was said that my grandfather Joesph Furtado and George Jesse were cousins from a family connection back in the Azores but I do not have access to and cannot read the records in the Azores to see how. Do people on this forum have access to those records? Joseph Michael Furtado, wife Edith Birth 1913 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA Death 1975 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA Father name: Antonio Miguel Furtado, wife Maria do Rosario Luiz Birth 1873 in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores, PT Death 21 June 1950 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA Allen On Friday, June 28, 2013 4:14:22 PM UTC-4, luiznoia wrote: > > > From the 1920 census page for the Frank Jesse family The census shows they > arrived in Mass in 1907. , , I've compared the births for Massachucetts on > Familysearch.
