It's the Mello Barboza line. I believe your grandparents are cousins. I need to enter just a couple of more people and then my program will link them. Yes, you are my cousin. All the Mellos from Ribeira Quente (RQ) are related.

Here's the info that I do have: grandfather - Antonio Mello Born Feb 25, 1889, Immigrated April 18, 1901 from Porta Delgada aboard the Dona Maria. Died May 11, 1958 in New Bedford, MA. His parents are listed on the death certificate as Antonio Mello and Claudina Silva. grandmother - Maria Lima - Born Dec 25. 1891. Immigrated August 12, 1907, though census shows anywhere from 1905 to 1907.. Died January 26, 1960 in New Bedford, MA. Her parents are listed as John Lima and Francisca Barboza. The headstone lists her birth as 1890. The 1891 date is from Antonio's naturalization papers in 1941. They married sometime around 1910 / 1911 and had 4 children from 1912 - 1926 (Sara, Antone, Agnes and Mary Carmen). I could not find a marriage certificate when looking at city hall, but I may not have searched far back enough to find it. . Thanks for any help you can give!

I did find information on their death certificates, which helped a little, but my searching for additional information brings up a lot of conflicting information on Ancestry (such as naturalization papers listing one date for arrival, but searching for the boat lists a completely different date that does not have any recognizable names on the passenger list.) What I did find out is that my father was a 3rd generation of the same name (Antonio/Antone Mello, possibly DeMello) and that both grandparents came from Rebeira Quente, St. Michael, Azores around 1901 for my grandfather and about 1905 - 1907 for my grandmother (Maria Lima, born 1890 or 1891). Any tips or suggestions on where to look further would be appreciated!
