Mike, just a thought but have you tried finding him in the US Passport apps? He would have had to apply for a passport to travel to the Azores as an AMERICAN citizen. If you have had no luck with naturalization you may have some with passports and it may have info you need. Even if you find his nat. papers it’s probably not going to tell you more than “Portugal” or maybe “Azores”, not the island or village. Prior to 1906 it was not handled by the Federal Govt.and could have been in any court but would not have given much info. After 1906 there is much more to be seen. Did he make any stops in NYC by any chance before MA?? The website Italiangen.org has an index to Naturalizations of the 5 boroughs and you might find something there if he came in that way and stayed for a few years.
Good luck, Rosemarie From: Mike Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 8:51 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] where to next I've been trying to find my GGgrandfathers naturalization paperwork without much luck, I'm hoping that there would be more specific info just to make certain who I think he is, is really him. In an interview in the Standard Times in New Bedford, Ma on March 30, 1941 he states he became a citizen on 9/5/1901. He then took his wife and daughter to Fayal 28 days later on 9/29/1901, he claimes to have returned with his family on March 17th, 1902 but it was actually on May 17th, 1902 aboard the ship Peninsular with his wife and daughter. He was Antone Perry Sr. (Antonio Silveira Pereira), his wife Mary Perry (Maria Leal da Rosa), and my Ggrandma Mary Perry (Maria Pereira) Now on paper he seems to get the date of the day correct, but yet he's almost always wrong about the year. I looked for his naturalization and passport at the local level, county level, state level, Nara, US immigration index search, I've also asked the courts at the town, city, county, state and federal levels and they tell me they have nothing. As for me trying to find him or anyone else in the CCA records I'm almost ready to concede defeat, I can hardly match up the information I have recieved from all of you with your translations. Can anyone help point me the right direction?
