Cheri, I live about 45 minutes from Hemet. Would you like me to drive to the cemetery sometime and take pictures of the headstones? It seems to be quite popular with my ancestors in the South (Georgia, Florida). Let me know the cemetery name and I'll stop by to take pictures and e-mail them to you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Passionada on VHS tape
Group, Amazon.com has 26 DVD used copies from .55 to 3.50 and new from 13.00 -- pleanty available. VHS tapes from 11.00 for new, and used available also. Parts of this movie was made in New Bedford, NewPort, and Mattapoisett, and the scenes are good, but the story is pretty lame, If your familiar with the South coast area of Mass, you will recognize many sights, but as I said the story is draggy. It made quite a splash when it was premiered here, and many went to see it, and it was nice to have a Portuguese theme.

Thanks Debbie. My dad got them all. Found out Bill didn't have a tombstone, so he had one installed. Baby Manuel doesn't have a headstone though.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Peter REGO b. Sant Cruz Lagoa 10 January 1874
Dear List members, If while any of you are searching the baptism records for Santa Cruz , Lagoa ,Sao Miguel and you see the name Pedro de REGO [ Peter Rego] would you please let me know what the record says? I have been searching for the names of his parents to no avail. I have the following from various records here in the states. His draft Reg Card New Bedford, MA states he was b. 10 Jan 1874. His name on this record Pedro do REGO. A conversation with the priest at Our lady of Mt Carmel, New Bedford, MA confirms his birth as recorded on his son John's baptism record as Santa Cruz, Lagoa, Sao Miguel. His parents name not listed. He emigrated in 1895 and was naturalized in 1904 according to the 1920 census New Bedford, MA. The Naturalization records on Ancestry.com shows he was naturalized 25 June 1905. He was living in Fall River at the time. It also confirms his date of birth as 10 Jan 1874. It does not give his date of arrival. His death record 21 Oct 1942 New Bedford, mA., states -names of father & mother CANNOT be learned. I have his marriage date and the information on all his children. Unfortunately I DO NOT read Portuguese and current problems with my eyesight makes it even more difficult to try to read the records now available from Lagoa that are on line. Should anyone run across this name I would very much appreciate knowing what the record says.
