I know i don't post here often, and keep in touch, yet i feel as though i know many of you.Thought i would share this, i've been researching my family for who know's how long 10- 15 years. I'm a descendant of Charlemagne, Henry the Conqueror, Alfonso King of Portugal, whatever, who isn't, i have spent so many years researching this , i've had the help of many of you, including DRH, GM ( my distant cousin ) , JV, . My point, it's time for me to be personal with what i have, i have recently connected and started a Facebook Group where i'm making contact with so many cousin's, relatives, and it's hitting home, starting with my parents, here's a little history ( I think that's the part that i was forgetting ) My Parents My father Candinho da Silva Garcia is the youngest of 12 children,from Candelaria Pico,his father died when he was 18 months old, his brother's and sisters are: Francisco da Silva Garcia,Manuel da Silva Garcia, Joao da Silva Garcia, Jose da Silva Garcia, Antonio da Silva Garcia, Maria da Conceicao da Silva Garcia, Jaime da Silva Garcia, Vital da Silva Garcia, Ana da Silva Garcia, Luduina da Silva Garcia and Alice da Silva Garcia.My parents immigrated from Candelaria Pico Azores in 1960 with my 3 sisters, to Winnipeg Manitoba,to join my father's oldest brother Francisco,they had 2 more children in Winnepeg, my brother Alberto, and my sister Elizabeth, after 3 years they moved to Toronto Ontario 1963, i was born 1965, My father worked as a labourer, one time working at a car wash on Pacific Ave, in a part of Toronto called " The Junction" , while my mother ( Maria Augusta ) worked at The Royal York Hotel,as a maid,( She was there with the Beatles when they played Toronto, should have stolen something from them ) she would come home to take care of 6 children, my sister's Maria, Regina, and Albina would help around the house, i was very young. My father absolutely loves gardening, and always kept a beautiful garden,full of fruit trees and every vegetable you can imagine, even a fig tree, working hard with a landscape company , he landed a nice job with the government working landscape for Ontario Housing,my mother would clean houses, my father eventually moved inside and was a janitor till he retired.They still live in their 2nd house that they ever bought in Mississauga ( Suburb of Toronto ) -- 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.
