Dear all, I just joined this as I am planning to travel to Azores next year with my family to visit the place of our Martins-Soares (Pico) and Martins- Souza (Terceira) ancestors
My great-grandparents were: - Manuel S A Martins born in Pico, 1883 (son of Jose S A Martins and Maria C De Souza) - Josephine (Josepha or Josefa) M Soares born in Terceira 1885 (daughter of Jose M Soares and Anna M Soares) Both emigrated from the Azores Islands (dates unknown) to Tauton in Boston, Massachussets and married on 18.Jan.1908. My grandfather was Joseph Martin (they removed the "s"), born in Tauton, Massachussets, USA on 10.11.1910. He died in 2007 He met my grandmother (Noemi Gonzalez in Guanacaste, Costa Rica) and my dad, Joseph M. Martin was born in Puntarenas, Costa Rica on Jan. 1944. I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1967. I have fours kids born (three born in San Jose, Costa Rica and one born in Santiago, Chile). We now live in Rome, Italy. As you can see, we have been moving during generations, so I would like to know more about this islands. It seems my grandfather has been the only one in the family having visited our ancestor's place. Would it be difficult to find their record to rebuild our family tree back from the names of my great-grandparents. Thanks for any advice/orientation you can provide.
