Dear Bernado I have always wanted to find my father's side of the family. In fact I have been searching more and more over the past years since my mother passed away in 1999. That's nearly 9 years of searching for him, his brother & any relatives in Goa & Lisbon. Casemiro Monteiro, whether he was in fact my father, and his brother who was with him (our uncle), we (my mother, my younger brother & I) lived together in the same house IN Goa. I was indeed shocked to the core (& I am still bodily shaking) to read the report Roland had posted, for the incident in 1955. As much as I feel my personal life has nothing much to do with the events of today, on Goanet, or in Goa itself, & maybe of no interest to anyone outside the Monteiro family, I am pleading with everyone who may have any information regarding the "Agente" Casemiro Monteiro (& his brother) who were in Goa during the 1950's. You say, CM is dead & gone & he was irrelevant, well that is probably right, for you & possibly many other posters who have read your post, and mine. But a small detraction away from the current Monteiros since 1961 will not make much difference to you or those who are not interested in my plight, but I also need to know about my father, who he was and where he went, whether or not he was that person described in Roland's post. I can only SUSPECT it was him, I cannot be sure of it. So I ask again, if anyone has any light they can shed on this man, I would be very grateful to you. Any archive footage such as Roland's or links to where I can go next to find out more about this man, can only help me (and my family). Even if he is indeed "dead & gone" as you put it, it would help us enormously to lay our ghosts to rest, if it is true, then where is he laid, where are his / my paternal relatives living in Goa / Lisbon? Surely this is not too much to ask, and it will not deter from the main events currently being discussed (some ad nausium, but still being read by yours truly). I thank anyone in advance for any information, no matter how small or insignificant they feel they have some information or knowledge on this.

RF should spend more time in my opinion on the current Monteiro's that Goa has produced and is producing since 61. Please do not raise issues of irrelevance. CM is dead and gone.
