Dear Frederick, The photographs do not give us a clear picture of the location because they do not give us a view of the houses on either side. As a four-year-old I lived in Saligao just two houses east of the crossroads formed by the main road that ran north from the Pilerne Seminary to Mapusa and the road that ran east from the "toem" through the village to Calangute. Some years ago I was told that FN (the other one, not you!) had lived as a toddler in a house some two or three houses east of the intersection. But that is hearsay; Fr. Nascimento will know better. For me the crucial question is: did FN the artist live on the north-south Mapusa-Saligao road, or the east-west road? Perhaps someone can draw a simple map? That will do splendidly. Very best regards, Victor

Souza's house Alberto, how could you say such a thing? Blasphemy! Even if FN Souza was irreligious himself. The home where Souza lived is like any other village home. I think a State like Goa is very adept at not honouring its own. Whether it is FN Souza or Frank Moraes (Eugene has rightly pointed out that he deserves a journalism college in his name) and even Alfred Rose was long denied a State award on the excuse that he was "not Goa based". Images (taken on a hot summer day) of the house where Souza grew up are below. Some pics have village historian Fr Nascimento Mascarenhas (currently working on a book on Saligao) in the frame. It's located near the Green Bar, and I'm sure Albert will recognise this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517821888/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517192391/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517193857/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517195491/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517831832/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517191007/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517823338/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517196495/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/4517832894/ Another pic of a Souza painting I ran into while visiting the Embassy of India in Bonn in 1990 (pre-digital camera days): http://www.flickr.com/photos/fn-goa/100429057/ Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 On 7 November 2010 12:01, Albert Desouza <alizadeso...@hotmail.com> wrote: > To know about FN souza's house we need the full name of FN de souza and the >location of the house like which waddo the house was situated.
