My (now) husband's grandmother was Mrs. Elsie (MOURA) PACHECO, reportedly born on Sao Miguel, Azores (Portugal islands). She came over at Age 12; I don't know with whom. Her 2 sisters and 2 brothers and their mother came over to join her in Cambridge, MA. (1905-1915 time period). One of the sisters married here to Charles PERRY (assuming PEREIRA). The other sister married here to Francis MEDEIROS. All 3 sisters were widowed young, and all 3 lived fairly long lives in Cambridge. I have never been able to find out what happened to Elsie's father, Francisco MOURA. I have a .guess. that he went to Brooklyn, NY, when his wife came to Boston. Elsie's brother, Francisco, Jr., eventually moved to San Francisco, CA, and their brother, Manuel, eventually moved to Brooklyn, NY. There are more details in the archives of the AZORES Mailing List. I've been posting about them for several years, so they might be in the archives of the MA Lists. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (on Lists for 10 yrs.; now an Admin for 9 Lists) (I have never had the time to search "ship records" for the above extended family. Elsie's husband was Antonio PACHECO (1885 - ~1927) from just outside of Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel.) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
