Hello,   I haven't posted about my husband's family-tree for a while.    But, this week we were able to drive to Cambridge City Hall and look at a death record.    His great-grandmother died there in 1949, and, from the record, I was able to confirm that her father's name was Laurindo de ROSA,  born Azores.    Unfortunately, for the mother it said Unknown.     The great-grandmother was born Filomena Augusta ROSA  (sometimes ROSE), born 1870's in the Azores.    Probably in Sao Miguel she married Francisco MOURA probably ~1890.    I don't know anything else about Frank MOURA as he did not come to MA with his family.   One guess is that he died at sea ~1900 as a whaler,  or another guess that the couple .separated.  ~1900.   In MA, Filomena was known as Mrs. Phoebe MOURA.    I can guess about her mother's name, as both Phoebe and her 3 daughters had the middle-name, Augusta.    So, possibly her mother was Filomena AUGUSTA, who married in the Azores to Laurindo de ROSA.     Frank and Phoebe MOURA had 2 sons, Manuel MOURA, b1891, and Francisco MOURA, b1893.    They seem to have married and had at least one child before migurating to MA.    Later, Manny MOURA moved his family to Brooklyn, NY,  and Frank MOURA moved his family to Oakland, CA.    (The family remembers visiting with Manny's family, but have no memory of visiting Frank's family.    But, with postings to the CA Lists, I found out that later in life the couple moved back to the Azores.    I'm curious if both Manny and Frank visited Cambridge, MA, in 1949 at the time of their mother's death.   The 3 daughters were Elsie Augusta MOURA who married 1912 to Antonio PACHECO,  Rosa Augusta MOURA who married Charles PERRY (prob. PEREIRA), and Carolina Augusta MOURA who married Frank MEDEIROS.    We have met descendants at Wakes, etc.     But a MEDEIROS family member has had great trouble finding people researching his father's large family.*   Thank you for your time.   Betty           (near Lowell, MA)   (on Lists and Boards for 11 yrs.;  now an Admin for 10 Lists and 5 Boards)   (just found out that the ROSA Board is looking for a new Admin)     * I've posted about the large MEDEIROS family before, but I can't find my notes, and I have not yet found my old postings.    I'll check the archives of this List.    I think Frank and .Carrie. MEDEIROS married in 1922 in Cambridge.
