Hi Eliseu,

 

I found the other sisters, the daughters of Luzia Ledo..also two sons.

 

Mary Conceicas married Charles Mello, of Sao Miguel.  They lived in Cambridge 
Massachusetts.  She died in 1973, she had two children.

Mary dos Anjes married Arthur Silva Fairterceiro of Sao Miguel.  They lived in 
Cambridge, Massachusetts.  She died in 1971, she had seven children

Angelo, a son, remained in Sao Miguel.  He was alive in the 1970s, when his 
sister Mercedes came to visit.  I do not know when he passed away.

Joseph, a son, was in the U.S, living in Fall River Massachusetts.  He died 
before 1973, I do not know exactly when.

Mercedes I have noted before, she is my great grandmother.

Luzia, or Louise, married John Alessi and had four children, and lived in 
Boston.  She died in 2000.  

 

thank you again for all of your help.

Hi all,

 

New to list - my ggrandfather Jose da Costa Menezes was born 1900 in Ribeira 
Grande and emigrated to America between 1916 and 1918.  Once in Massachusetts, 
he married his cousin, Maria das Merces.  She was also from Ribeira Grande, 
born in 1903 or 1904.  Her father was Jose da Costa.  Her mother, I believe, 
was named Luzia Ledo.  She arrived in New York in 1919 with her father (who had 
been in America for 12 years, the story handed down is that he returned to get 
his daughters after their mother died from the Spanish flu).  The sisters were 
Maria Conceicao, Maria des Anjes, and Luzia.  They left behind a brother, 
Angelo Costa Menezes.  Waiting for them in Fall River was Jose da Costa's 
brother, Gabriel da Costa.  Jose Menezes and Maria Merces, or Mercedes as we 
know her, were married in New Bedford in 1923.  They moved to Cambridge, MA by 
1924, where they had a number of children.  Jose Menezes, or Joseph, died in 
1972, Mercedes in 1983.  

 

I have combed the baptisms looking for Jose Menezes - his dob is 9/16/1900 - 
but did not find him.  Mercedes is a bit more complicated as the date of birth 
I have for her is 1902, which we know was not true, but was stated to make her 
older so she could work.  (this caused her a problem when she tried to get 
Social Security).  I believe it was resolved as 1903, but her Massachusetts 
Death Index dob is 1904.  I will have to check both years.  The date is 5/28.  

 

I'm looking for any confirmation on these families...

 

thank you!  Kerry Sullivan
