    1. [GENMASSACHUSETTS] PACHECO families in 1920
    2. Ms Betty Fredericks
    3. Hello,   I just checked census pages  and by 1920 there were almost  250 people in MA with the PACHECO name,  and that includes a few people with the PACHICO spelling.      I couldn't find  Antone / Anthony / Tony PACHECO in census pages,  and several years ago someone found him with the alternate spelling.   PACHICO, TONY   (1920 U.S. Census) MASSACHUSETTS , MIDDLESEX, 2-WD CAMBRIDGE Age: 34, Male, Race: WHITE, Born: PORT Series: T625 Roll: 707 Page: 49   The majority of the people in both 1910 and 1920  were in Bristol County.         There were about 20 people in Middlesex County, and they were mostly in Cambridge,  but one in Somerville and one in Lowell.      I think the lady we met at the supermarket mentioned a Manny  Pacheco,  and I saw a Manuel in Cambridge listed as a salesman.   I can't remember what furniture stores still exist in Cambridge.      But, I know there is a Pacheco Jewelry Store in Cambridge.     I wonder if those 2 families were related.   Betty            (near Lowell, MA)     FYI:     Someone asked about the Azores  List,  and it used to be active,  but hasn't been active for maybe 2 yrs.     But, some researchers from that List start up an   Azores "Group"  at   www.google.com    and I know that is fairly active.   It's a reminder that there are other "free"  genealogy web sites where you can discuss your family-tree with other researchers.    There are also "Groups"  at   www.yahoo.com   FYI:   I think it was 1911 when "Tony" PACHECO married  Elsie MOURA,  also from Sao Miguel, Azores.     She came over as a 12-yr-old,  and saved enough money to bring her mother and sisters over.     I can only guess what happened to her father,  and I haven't figured out how and when their brothers came over.    "Frank, Jr."  was in Cambridge for a short time, and then moved to the San Francisco, CA, area.    "Manny" MOURA was in Cambridge for a short time and then moved to Brooklyn, NY.     Please see my old postings for more information on these families.
